Russ, there are thousands of Christians in my country and we don't circumcise. It is extremely rare here.

And I didn't post a link to a Catholic site, I posted one to a Christian site of many denominations united in educating people on this issue. And I am finding your constant slandering of Catholics to be quite offensive.

For some reason your normal good sense has gone out of the window, and this seriously questions your credibility. I'm sorry, but I have to say it. You want people to listen to you on amalgam and vaccines, but you aren't interested in listening to the dangers and unnecessity of circumcision because of prefetemined beliefs, because of emotional and time investment in your belief.

Millions of Christians don't circumcise, but rather than open your mind to the possibility they might be right, you endorse this ritual because of your pretermined beliefs. This is no different whatsoever to the dentists and associations who continue to endorse amalgam because of their investment in it.

I, like Carla, would rather hear something different from you than "the Bible says so", as millions of Christians DON'T circumcise, and I am tired of you saying those of us who don't agree with you need to read the Bible etc.

The only things you've given in favour of circumcision is

1. UTI
2 HIV

The first is illogical because there is less than a 1% chance of baby getting UTI in the first year of life, but 2% chance of complication from the circumcision aswell as loss of a body part.

As to the second, it's a ridiculous argument because responsible sexual behaviour is the best protection from HIV.

I have no vested interest in this issue. I am not a man and I am not a mother.
