I think Mo2388 just didn't know that this ritual is considered holy by Christians.

But I agree that we must be careful not to offend the others. Talmud says "gadol kvod ha-briyot" which means "it is forbidden to humiliate human dignity". This is especially important in our international forum.

If one wants a very good depiction or explanation of this subject from a Jewish and early Christian point of view, I'd suggest the book "Jews in the Roman World" by Michael Grant which displays the history of Israel and Jews from start to end of the Roman conquest..

Enjoy...

My sons had Brit milah בְּרִית מִילָה, I would be very upset if some Christians would call  them victims.
Religion is not something you do,it is something you are.
Brith milah or baptisam are part what we are.
