re: Circumcision - Genital mutilation

You know nothing of the bible if you think God "tried" to do something and was unsuccessful.

You’re one of those people I see. Try reading Exodus 4:24. The LORD “sought to put Moses to death” or “sought to kill him” or “was about to kill him” depending on the translation. Then his wife cut off their son’s foreskin and rubbed some blood on Moses’ wiener and the LORD then (quit trying to kill him) and let him alone. We know Moses was uncircumcised as he was raised as an Egyptian. The penalty for not being circumcised was death, according to Torah. Moses’ wife tricked the LORD into thinking Moses had been circumcised by rubbing her son’s bloody disconnected foreskin on Moses’ junk. Why was the LORD inspecting Moses’ dingaling after engaging with him as a burning bush? We don’t know, but people’s private part skin were of great concern of the creator of the universe.

God never tries anything. He DOES. That is the benefit of being God, everything goes your way. He could snap his finger and destroy the universe (if that was his plan).

So God thought it’d be more fun to drown all people and animals and start over after he failed to create a perfect world - a world infested by the Nephilim - the sons of God who raped the human women in Genesis 6? God planned to make a perfect garden, tended by a slave without any knowledge of right and wrong, and put a giant beautiful tree of knowledge with beautiful fruit, and not even a chain link fence or a force field to protect it? After God wiped out humanity and felt remorse and promised to never do it again… did God plan to have regret and remorse? Yahweh Sabaoth (the LORD of armies / LORD of heavenly hosts) couldn’t defeat an army of Canaanites due to the Canaanites being too powerful with their iron chariots? The LORD promised victory or Moab through Elisha the prophet but was defeated by Moab and their god Chemosh, though God has Israel, Judah, and Edomite armies presumably much bigger than Moab’s army?

God can’t even defeat Satan. He comes down from the clouds and walks on the ground. He has to walk around the garden trying to find a naked Adam and naked Eve who are hiding from him. He has to send angels to see if the Sodomites are evil or if some are righteous. God isn’t all powerful, or all knowing. He certainly isn’t omnipresent either - why do you think we sing in church and the priest swings the censer/thurible/botafumeiro? The LORD likes music and incense, and that’s the traditional method of calling to him to attract him to worshippers. If he was already there with the churchgoers, he wouldn’t need to be summoned with music and burning frankincense.

Read the Bible yourself before you assert baseless nonsense.
