But you are free to ditch religion at any point, you can't turn back a surgery

Of course you are free yes but eeehhh see I’m kinda like bruh all this freedom is kinda.. not going so well

En masse

Christianity wise. and just making an old religious argument here. if god did not want us to have foreskins he would have made us without them. and as we are not jewish we are not offering them to him for a compact long fulfilled

In a multi-cultural, liberal democratic structure

Shai tan that reason can be inversed by saying it’s a choice he wanted us to have to deal with

And history is always worse. Tomorrow is always better, it's been a rising tide. As bad as we think the homeless and poor have it. They have more tech and an easier life than most rich people in the 50's

Well for now

actually it cant be, because the reason for the removal of foreskins is explicitly given in the old testement. that compast with god was long ago fulfilled with the birth of christ in the christian persepctive.

Hmm

Is it a catholic thing mainly

It's symbolic of child sacrifice

I see

It’s like making a lifelong commitment from the start

Interesting

in the west its more modenr roots came from the antimastermation revival of the quakers and the kellogs

Yeah, it's like saying "this is what you are, you don't have a say"

I kinda like that bahaha but maybe I’m crazy dawg

BOOM your in bitch no getting out mwahahahaha

If the kid doesn't have a religion that requires it. He'll grow up to have ALLOT of questions for you

would you accept the religous head binding of the african continent? or the ceremonial cutting of the middle east?

I’m not quite sure what you mean by that

Oh you mean

Those practices

yes

They're the same type of ceremony

Same intent

as they serve essentually the same perposes

I’d say in my predominately Christianity based nation where I live. Absolutely not. And why. Cuz it’s subjective yes and it’s my choice yes.

Now am I going to fly to Africa to stop them cuz I care. Nah

Personally, i make a stand against all forms. Universally. if someone tries head binding or ceremonial cutting of any kind it should be considered child abuse, and is in most western countries.

try FGM in my country (atleast for now) and you will lose your kid

same with head binding

I don’t know if we have any evidence to suggest it does lifelong harm to the child other then the skin not being there anymore. To circle back to your tattoo thing... idk if a culture tatted a circle on everyone st birth

I’m like bruh that’s sick

That’s dope af

i argue you just extend it universally, you do not outlaw specific practices, your outlaw the behavior.

Hmmmm nah not gonna do that

I still don’t view any evidence you’ve given as not being anything other then reasons that are subjective

tattoos on children are in fact illegal in the united states
