San Francisco’s Intactivist Anti-Semitism

Where a foreskin has more rights than an unborn baby.

Following up on two posts, one by Da Techguy and the other by Open Blogger Ben at Ace's, I've created a Twibbon to show your solidarity with American Jews against these idiots.

Take a sad song, and make it better.

The only other thing in the news that I can find that approaches that level of dumb--including elaborate theories in defense of Weiner--is Alex Pareene's argument that Michele Bachmann must be anti-Catholic because she's Lutheran.

Ya know, Martin Luther had some harsh things to say about Jews, too, but growing up in the Milwaukee area, I never had a single Lutheran friend--and I imagine I had just about as many Lutheran as Catholic friends--who told me that the Pope was evil or that Jews were dirty. Alex Pareene apparently thinks that he can turn Papists and the Lutheran Menace against one another in the Midwest. Good luck, jackass.

Paul had some stuff to say on the subject of circumcision:

Paul emphasises the superiority of faith, love, and the new creation. By comparison, neither the rite of circumcision nor uncircumcision holds any benefit for the believer:

Gal. 5:6: "For in Christ Jesus neither circumcision nor uncircumcision avails anything, but faith working through love."

Gal. 6:15: "For in Christ Jesus neither circumcision nor uncircumcision avails anything, but a new creation."

Paul considers this so important, that he restates it in his letter to the Colossians:

Col 3:9-11: "Do not lie to one another, since you have put off the old man with his deeds, and have put on the new man who is renewed in knowledge according to the image of Him who created him, where there is neither Greek nor Jew, circumcised nor uncircumcised, barbarian, Scythian, slave nor free, but Christ is all and in all."

We here learn of a connection between the new creation of Gal. 6:15 and the new man of Col. 3:10 -- in both cases neither circumcision nor uncircumcision is of any importance whatsoever.

If only these tolerant, enlightened San Franciscans were as tolerant and enlightened as that old hardass, Paul.
