hmm i read that someone mentioned tuli as a sacrament. In truth, hindi part ng 7 sacraments ang tuli... pero sa old testament kay Abraham (gen 17) prefiguration iyon ng Sakramento ng Binyag, naging sign ng pag-anib sa Chosen People ang tuli. It was like the physical "sign" of their covenant with Yahweh... gaya ng singsing sa ikinasal ( notice the "ring-like" appearance ng tinuling titi) na as His people, they must obey His command. In turn, God will be with His people. However, in the New testament, hindi na ito binding sa lahat ng Christians, kasi Salvation is through belief in Jesus Christ, through Baptism and living out the Christian way. (read acts 15). kaya sa ibang bansa, kahit katoliko sila, di sila nagtutuli.

On a medical perspective, pag tuli ka, less ang chance magka HIV, dahil malinis lagi ang ulo, sabi sa isang study. Mas hygenic kasi. Culturally, namana natin ang practice ng pagtutuli sa mga muslim ancestors natin, way back pre-hispanic times, kaya naging tradisyon na iyon na pag magbbinata na tayo ay requirement tuliin. pero in the end, nasa tao pa rin iyon kung papatuli siya o hindi :-)
