Howard, There is good medical evidence that there are drawbacks to both circumcision and non circumcision. Choose your poison. :)

A religious person might argue that this is God making up the lack of science of the time to protect people. A non-believer might argue that this is wise people coming up religious law to mirror their own observations about what makes a person sick. Either way, it demonstrates a good deal of wisdom in the old books.
