female circumcision interview with man in favour

I'll reiterate. Evolution is too damn slow. I'm not religious, but my dear departed gramma told me when I was a youngin' "do unto others as you would have them do unto you."As far as I'm concerned,the books,the dogma,the rules,rituals,murders,mutilations and general worldwide mayhem are obvious signs to me that humans are not educated enough to see that "do unto" is the only workable dogma that makes much sense. What could be worse than a religion that justifies homicidal maniacs? That believes women are possesions with a hole that is so tempting that to mutilate them is in any way a correct thing to do? Barbaric is the only quality one can call these monsters. Wars and death continue around the world so I can only conclude that we humans are truly fucked. ORGANIZED religion continues to be little more than useless,with some exceptions.

 

quite different from a males circ
a piece of skin is cut off, leaving it intact, compared to the damn clit being cut off, never to heal
like, thats just awful.....

 

Circumcision began, iirc, with Abraham (or Ebrahim in Islam) telling everyone that he'd been hearing these voices - God's voices, and that they were telling him that all men must prove their faith by sacrificing their foreskins.

First of all, if anyone were to try that now they'd be put into a padded cell. Secondly, it states that they should prove their faith by sacrificing their own foreskins. A baby has no faith, nor has he any say in the matter. This is clearly wrong. If, when he is older he chooses to adopt the faith he should be able to make the decision for himself whether or not he wants to make the sacrifice of his foreskin.

(PS As an addendum to the post that was made earlier in this thread about circumcision starting in the US in the 1800s in order to stop masturbation - this is partly true, as it was introduced by Dr Kellogg (inventor of the cornflakes) in his asylums for just that reason, regardless of religion - he also believed that feeding the patients cornflakes would stop them masturbating (who really should have been the patient?). Previous to this, circumcision was also commonplace in the UK among the gentry, once again, with no religious significance, but for no more reason than an indication of Social Status, and to a degree this practice of snobbery still continues, although thankfully a growing number of doctors are refusing to perform the surgery where not required for medical reasons).
