Circumcision is in no way a form of mutilation. Removing a child's tonsils when not necessarily would be more mutilative to children. It's is a Biblical procedure for a good purpose. It is to tone down a child's desire for sex before maturity. It likely lessens criminal rape incidents, etc,
God commanded his messianic nation, the Jews to have this done on the eighth day. Providentially, the eighth day is the day when the proceedure is the less painful and heals the quickest. This is just another evidence of the credibility of the Biblical record.
We had our boys circumcised, though we are not Jewish, since we knew there had to be a good reason to have it done or God wouldn't have required it of the Jews.
History attests to the fact that Jews, for the most part are a special people, capable of great feats, though they are a very tiny nation. The have a way of acquiring wealth, protecting themselves and surviving for centuries of dispersion globally. Circumcision, likely is just one of many reasons they are superior to Gentiles in many ways.
The child gets his first corporal spanking at birth, rendering no harm, yet our laws forbid parents, teachers and principals to apply this effective way of correcting bad behavior. Government meddles in too many things which should apply to parents.
Baby rights pertaining to matters as trivial as circumcision is as non-sensical as pet rights.
I cannot remember when was the last time Id disagree so strongly with anybody as I do with you. You are incredibly unhumane - would you be willing to go as far as to accept the Jewish tradition of a Mohel sucking the blood off circumcision? Would you be willing to defend the twisted tradition even though it has killed several babies in the NY alone last couple of years?
Your argument that circumcision is good because it lessens the drive to have sex is vile and obnoxious. I have nothing good to say to you.
And then about corporal punishment - I am totally at loss with words. How on earth can you even try and justify raising a hand against an innocent little baby? How could you hurt a child?
