      I don’t even have a dick and I’m offended you would cut allusions to your favorite shitty book into someone else’s penis without their consent. Do you not understand how profoundly fucking sick that is? Christianity is a disease.

      Like if I knocked you out or found you passed out drunk then used a laser to burn the phrase ‘mostly harmless’ into your genitals in a way that would leave a life long scar, I’d get quite a kick out of it, and it has so many layers of meaning in reference to a shitty mess of a book I read a bunch as a kid. So it’s fine to do. Honestly if we ever meet I’m doing this.

        I don’t think laser ablation counts as cavitation, don’t push your fetish on others! /s

        Real talk though, I do agree that any religion that requires the mutilation of any part of a child, let alone their genitals is ass backwards and shouldn’t exist, failing that, should be entirely voluntary only performed after the child has grown into an adult that can make their own decisions

      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

          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.

      Circumcision predates the Bible by at least 6000 years. The earliest depictions of circumcision have been found in tribal rock art in africa dating back to around 8000-10000bc.

      Hell, even Herodotus mentions that Egyptians had been practicing circumcision since before recorded history.

      From what we can gather the cultural practice migrated with people in the great push out of africa.
