Ive been circumcised. Does that make me Jewish?

Shalom Aleichem!
Many males are circumcised at birth now. People think that putting an infant through blinding pain and mutilating their genitals for life is a good idea. Why people are mutilating their children and ruining sex for them is beyond me, maybe they know something I don't.
I am Jewish, and am a member(no pun intended) of the Covenant of Abraham. For the gentiles that means I had a bris. I didn't want one, but no one asked me did they? At least I was getting shikker off Kosher wine sucked through a napkin, thats more then these unfortunate children in the hospitals get. To be Jewish one has to convert, or their mother has to have been Jewish. And I'll tell you something, EVERYONE seems to hate us and it sucks. It's not an easy life, but then again there is no such thing as an easy life for most people. Oh well I love being Jewish. Jews are sexy, and not half kinky! Wrapping your arm in Tefillin is a step down from bondage...Everone likes leather straps, yow!

I am an atheist, but part of my extended family is Jewish. For this reason, I became interested in the religion. I have found it to be the only religion (I KNOW OF) to have been able to continue from a single foundation for some 5000 years with considerably little change.

That is worthy of a lot of respect. I am also a believer in tradition. It doesn't matter what the tradition is, what matters is that it creates a bond between the present and the past, and a heritage for the future.

Can you think of longer standing traditions than those of the Jewish heritage? I can't.

Shalom
