KatS Posted June 28, 2006 Share Posted June 28, 2006 Superman wears a very tight costume so if we look close enough maybe we could tell if he's circumcised or not...and the matter would be settled!! : Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Budge Posted June 29, 2006 Share Posted June 29, 2006 Why? are they supposed to look for the foreskin to make it a relic shrine like the Catholic church did with SEVERAL Supposed foreskins of Jesus?

[/quote] Some of this stuff gets REALLY weird [quote] During the late 17th century, Catholic scholar and theologian Leo Allatius in De Praeputio Domini Nostri Jesu Christi Diatriba ("Discussion concerning the Prepuce of our Lord Jesus Christ") speculated that the Holy Foreskin may have ascended into Heaven at the same time as Jesus himself and might have become the rings of Saturn, then only recently observed by telescope.[/quote] [url="http://www.experiencefestival.com/a/Holy_Prepuce/id/495888"]http://www.experiencefestival.com/a/Holy_Prepuce/id/495888[/url] Edited June 29, 2006 by Budge Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Old_Joe Posted June 30, 2006 Share Posted June 30, 2006 (edited) [quote name='Raphael' post='1011489' date='Jun 24 2006, 08:23 AM'] There are four options here: 1. He was circumsized on Krypton before he was sent to earth, while still able to be cut. 2. The Kent family (or others) exposed him to kryptonite for a short while to make him weak enough to be cut. 3. He used a mirror and his own laser vision to do it (this, according to some of the older material, is how he shaves). 4. He isn't circumsized. Unlikely...Jewish farmers in the middle of Smallville, Kansas? [/quote] Perhaps, while he was still an infant he was still vulnerable to bullets, razors, etc. because of the lack of longterm exposure to our sun.
