well since you can clearly read the words that say it's good to not have sex.... it's not wrong at all. You're using faith.

I understood your interpretation very well and held it myself for years, before I realized it was entirely wrong.
Bad translation. A better translation would be "good not to touch on an emotional level..." or "kindle up the emotions of..."ince you can clearly read the words that say it's good to not have sex

It doesn't matter. The point is that these are the REAL reasons why people circumcise their kids, NOT to keep them from masturbating.two of those four are pure vanity (2 & 3), one is debunked (4), and the other is a terrible reason to mutilate a newborn.
What is, in your opinion, the point where religious reasons are not good enough anymore?It doesn't matter. The point is that these are the REAL reasons why people circumcise their kids, NOT to keep them from masturbating.
And religious reasons ARE a legitimate reason to circumcise.

If you can understand God's reason, EXCELLENT! But if you can't, you must still obey. A two year old doesn't understand why he has to put away his toys -- he must still obey.You don't think that you should have a REALLY good idea why you're obeying something or why you do it?
And, although I didn't pierce my little girl's ears until she was older, I think you are being ridiculous.Frankly, I oppose piercing children's ears before they can consent to that, too.
You are entitled to your belief.And, although I didn't pierce my little girl's ears until she was older, I think you are being ridiculous.
When they require the destruction of a basic bodily function, as with FGM.What is, in your opinion, the point where religious reasons are not good enough anymore?
If the ONLY thing they were doing was removing skin, I would have no objections. Such alterations are merely cosmetic. Heck, I'm always biting off the skin around my fingernails and the inside of my cheeks. Skin is just skin.If parents decide to do a ritual nick to the genitals of their daughter (one that do not include any permanent damage), citing religious reasons, would you support them being able to do so?
What about FGM that doesn't destroy a basic bodily function? Not all FGM entails cutting off everything. (see post 367)When they require the destruction of a basic bodily function, as with FGM.
You don't know much about FGM, do you?If the ONLY thing they were doing was removing skin, I would have no objections. Such alterations are merely cosmetic. But FGM removes the underlying organ and thus destroys a bodily function. It is comparable to removing the head of the penis.

Ever watched honey boo boo?It's 'ridiculous' to comment on the awfulness of adult vanity being visited on small children in the form of body mutilation?
There are several benefits to being uncircumcised that you lose. Please note I will get a bit explicit with my post so if you do not want to read sexual language please stop reading.If the ONLY thing they were doing was removing skin, I would have no objections.
