I am a british staright man and have just read the above article and found it very disturbing n sick. i am 37 and uncircumcised and have never had any health problems with having a foreskin. i personally think male babies and adult men should only be circumcised for health or medical reasons and if their foreskin is healthy at birth or during life they should not get circumcised. After all men are born with a foreskin as it has a purpose to protect the glans of the penis.

And as regards that wicked old crone “Mother” Teresa, we have dealt with her before!

I can’t understand why you are all wasting so much time engaging with an obvious troll. I’m mystified!

Regarding circumcision, the definitive answer to all these loony arguments put forward by religious maniacs in favour of genital mutilation and child abuse is: “If it is so beneficial to the male population, why on earth did ‘God’ create foreskins in the first place?” To that there is no answer!!

And by the way Parks, yes, we do accept the scientific method as the best way of finding out about the way the world works, which is why a few seconds googling will turn up this:

http://www.cirp.org/library/disease/STD/vanhowe6/

Tell, you what, I’ll pick out the relevant portion for you:

“What began as speculation has resulted a century later in 60-75% of American boys being circumcised with no clearly confirmed medical benefit. In the interim, no solid epidemiological evidence has been found to support the theory that circumcision prevents STDs or to justify a policy of involuntary mass circumcision as a public health measure.”

Of course, even a moment’s reflection (although this appears to be something our new guest is clearly quite incapable of) should be enough to twig the simple anecdotal evidence that in Europe, where circumcision in the non-semitic population is never carried outâ€“except in the case of phimosisâ€“there is no explosion of HIV and STDs compared to the largely circumcised population of the USA.

The ‘need’ for routine ablation of the foreskin also speaks volumes about this particular piece of ‘design’, doesn’t it?

Actually, the reason why it’s so prevalent in the U.S.A. is that surgeons get paid for doing it, and then charge it to the medical insurance companies. It’s a bit like the old scam ‘we’ll tell you the sex of your unborn child — money back if we get it wrong.’

I can’t believe Parks has brought up ‘mother Theresa’ as an example of moral superiority.

Argument from authority really goes down big with these ‘religious nutjobs’ doesn’t it? (I think that latter phrase is actually the root cause of our new guest’s ire).

BTW, Mikey, your posts simply ooze christian charity.

Sleep tight tucked up with your copies of Hitchins, Dawkins and Mein Kamp(f).

Who is this Hitchins chap?

let us be honest, if there was no religious reason for the guy having mutilated his son in this way, he would be spending a long time in prison!

Michael, I did not have to go to another culture to find a dissenter, since it is my own, unless you regard the RC church as a different culture. What are you then, a Mormon (or a moron)?
Did you know that the ancient Egyptians had a sort of holy trinity. Did you know that in the temple of Seti I in Abydos there is a relief that shows the very dead top god Osiris (who was cut up by his nasty brother Seth into many pieces and put together again by his loving wife Isis)lying on a bed with the winged Ba (= holy ghost) hovering above him to catch Osiris’s seed with which to inseminate Isis. In due course she gave birth to their son Horus. Do aspects of this story sound familiar?

Did you also know that that good-natured Mr Mugabe of Zimbabwe is a Christian (RC)? Now, there is a man who is nice to his people, isn’t he.

Luv ya, Mick.

Wha’ happen? All the log-on stuff vanishes and immediately a bloody great troll appears! Oh, and Michael: I’d have a look at your shoulder. I think your chip might be showing.
