 nah, i think most people are too lazy to think so they aren't jews

and i'll take that label! i'm even ... oh wait... that's mutilation 
 If you're alluding to circumcision, Christians don't need it. We're circumcised in the heart. And that's just another way of clarifying what "Jew" means, since that's allegory for being rational. Rational as in, not empirical - empiricism is idolatry. 
 yeah well, i wasn't saying it was required but rather imposed upon me 
 Well, at least its harmless. If it makes us less horny, then we can put more of our energies into building civilization. Although... IMO civilization is a euphemism for slavery. But focusing on the naive and happy aspects...

 True dat... Also funny how religious people think they need to correct what God made.
