Weird sight today did not realize it’s a thing. These guys out protesting circumcision. Just wow.pic.twitter.com/LnzRsNqMh5
Weird was the sight, not referring to the procedure. Is this a religious choice whether or not to circumcise? Why do parents choose to/or not to circumcise their child?
In the US most circumcision is not religious. In the mid 1800s masturbation was thought to be the cause of many illnesses, there's even joking wives tales that survived about that today, you'll grow blind, hairy palms etc, Back then less than one percent of all US men were cut >>
2> then the idea that it would prevent disease, because diseases were believed to be caused by over-stimulation of the nervous system at the time, so they cut off the most sensitive tissue of the penis, and made it harder to work the penis without that slack skin to glide, on >>
3> the shaft. Over time the illnesses it was thought to help prevent were all debunked, but the anti masturbation sentiment stayed around until the 1960s and 70s, but by then it was deeply part of the culture to cut boys, to mutilate them as infants, to be like dad.
As far as being a religious choice, what about the religious freedom of the child? More and more people are growing up to question and reject the faith their parents taught them, be that switching to another religion or becoming atheist. Doesn't the child deserve his freedom to>>
2> not have his parent's faith literally and permanently carved into his body if he doesn't decide to follow that faith when he grows up? The Bible does not dictate an age or date for circumcision, the Quran does not mention it at all, it's in the Hadiths along side female >>
3> circumcision, where Muhammad orders and instructs on both. Most Muslim circumcision world wide is done on children, not infants, at the average age of 7 years. Why can't both wait until the age of 16 or 18 or whatever age the culture says the child can legally consent?
