        i wasn’t arguing that it didn’t have “biblical meaning,” i’m saying the “biblical meaning” is absolute fucking bullshit

        and yes, it follows that i’m calling the bible bullshit, which it is

        i wouldn’t be mad about it if it weren’t wrecking so many innocent lives

          This procedure wrecking innocent lives or religion overall? This procedure by itself is not that bad. Makes life easier too. In my experience ofc. I am an atheist btw

            https://www.researchgate.net/publication/240804903_Lost_Boys_An_Estimate_of_US_Circumcision-Related_Infant_Deaths

            how many deaths would it take for you to say it’s bad?

            In my experience ofc

            if you were circumcised at birth, then how can you possibly know that it’s “easier” being cut than not?

            want to talk about any other topics you know nothing about?

            edit:

            Allen Ervin, born 1985, was in a coma for more than six years before he died. He had been on life support after his brain was damaged from oxygen deprivation during his circumcision. Demetrius Manker was born in 1993 and died soon thereafter from blood loss. The coroner’s examination found a large, gaping wound on the underside of the boy’s penis extending almost to the scrotum. The coroner listed cause of death as blood loss due to penile circumcision; however, there is no mention of further action being taken. A West Virginia child, whose name was withheld, was born in 1996 without incident and circumcised prior to hospital release. A few days later, the parents rushed him to the emergency room because he was having seizures and his penis had turned green in color. He died the next day from septicemia.

            Because the penis is highly vascularized, blood-loss is a risk even for boys circumcised past the neonatal period. In 2008, a 6-week-old Native American, Eric Keefe, died from massive blood loss. Hospital officials claimed that his circumcision was not to blame, but instead faulted the parents because they had administered over-the-counter pain medication that, they also claimed, thinned his blood.

              Vmmc even suggested by who as aids prevention. Let me make it clear to you. Do not cut infant pepees. Ok? Cut when older, it is good for hygiene, std prevention, even looks better that way lol

              Who told you this happened at birth? I was at pre school age and member everything. It is jews who does it at birth. Also there are studies that this procedure has many benefits. But sure, you know better. Typical lemmy

      While I tend to agree, it’s absolutely mostly pointless.

      I have an elderly friend that had to get a late circumcision around age 65 or so, as well as have a cyst removed from the head of his penis…

      There are valid medical reasons, but tradition/religious reasons are indeed bullshit.

        the difference is that your friend’s situation was a medical treatment, and it was voluntary

        making that sort of permanent decision for your newborn infant is what’s bullshit

    Pro-dickchop lunatics always come with the most outrageous arguments to defend it. HURRr it’s more hygenic, ok better cut off my fucking eyelids because there’s crusty shit under em’ in the morning. HURRr you might get complications later in life, ok guess I’d better kill myself in case I die.

    Please.

    I wholeheartedly believe that any parent that circumcised their kids should be charged with felony level child abuse.

    You’re mutilating an infant for aesthetical purposes.

    If the idea of female genital mutilation sounds deplorable yet you don’t mind circumcision you’re fucked in the head and need put in a mental facility.

      As far as issues to take up, protecting millions of literal babies from getting painful, dangerous, and unnecessary cosmetic procedures is a pretty noble one in my book.

      A lot better hobby than being dismissive on the internet
