PROVO, UT—Scholars from BYU’s Department of Archeology have
confirmed that ancient covenant people performed vicarious circumcisions as
part of their temple worship. Dr. Albert Fenn recently provided compelling
evidence that “images and fragments of text reveal that ancient peoples
in the Americas and Middle East circumcised adolescent priesthood holders on behalf
of dead ancestors who had not had that essential ritual performed themselves.” Though Fenn spoke at length about the ancient
Abrahamic foundation for such a practice, a undergraduate assistant who asked
to not be named commented that “where today doing baptism for the dead can be
sort of ‘mixer’ for young women and men, let’s just say that none of
the ancient young men were swinging by Wendy’s or Café Rio for some socializing
after getting whatever foreskin they had left snipped off for their ancestors!”
The same unnamed student concluded, “you think betting baptized 15 times is a
pain…”
