Well... I guess it's kind of like a tattoo or wearing your hair long or short. Do it or don't do it. What difference does it make?

Originally curcumsission was a sign of being a Jewish man. Why circumsission and not something like getting your right pinky cut off I have no idea. Possibly because it wasn't as evident as something that was in sight by the general public. I'm sure there was a reason but I haven't looked into it. Today Jewish males still have it done for the original reason but those not Jewish do it for an entirely different reason.
Does God like that we do it? My personal opinion is that he probably doesn't care one way or the other.
