It's even funnier than that, since some revered christian leaders like Origen of Alexandria took it upon themselves to cut of their privates for the sake of purity. And by the way, the bible has some interesting contradictions about that too:
"For there are (1) some eunuchs, which were so born from their mother's womb: and there are (2) some eunuchs, which were made eunuchs of men: and there be (3) eunuchs, which have made themselves eunuchs for the kingdom of heaven's sake. He that is able to receive it, let him receive it." -Matthew 19:12
And of course:
Deuteronomy 23:1: No one who has been emasculated by crushing or cutting may enter the assembly of the LORD.
