This procedure by itself is not that bad

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.

yea fair enough. hail capitalism

i mean you can tell everyone don’t eat the poison mushrooms without making a whole fucking religion around that,but whatever\

yes, religion needs to die

I like to think silly religious things actually had some initial reason

why?

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

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

but seriously, circumcision is an absolutely pointless stupid bullshit stone age “tradition” that should have gone away thousands of years ago. why the fuck is this shit still even a thing?
