Your last post is filled with negative personal statements against me. Well, two can play this game.

The issue is one of consent. My friend did not consent to the completely unnecessary removal of a normal part of his body. I have no argument with males of legal age who want to have circumcision out of any motivation whatsoever.

You were able to completely turn your health around thru removal of fillings, and chelation and supplementation. My friend cannot undo the damage to his sex organ.

Unlike you, my friend wants a wife and a sex life and children. Why doesn't he have this? Because of a surgery that was never indicated in any way, shape or form.

You want my friend to turn his botched penis into "good" by helping others? Oh, he is, he is. He is preaching against infant circumcision.

It is laughable for you to claim that the doctor involved was unskilled, untrained, etc. etc. That is like saying that the dentists who install mercury amalgams are unskilled and untrained, and if only they were properly trained, nobody would get amalgam illness. There is no safe mercury filling - and there is no safe infant circumcision because both procedures automatically and necessarily damage. A circumcised penis is forever damaged and de-natured, but at least a person who has mercury fillings can be cured.

Why is my lack of identification with a specific category of politics so disturbing to you, anyway. What do you care? You make it sound like I am concealing something! Well, guess, what. Politically, I am all over the lot, as my friends say. They think I have contradictory views, and they can place me absolutely nowhere on the known spectrum.

You say we are defined by what we DO. Fine, I guess that makes me a Grade-A a**hole, then, because I preach and teach that medically unnecessary penile reduction surgery inflicted on unconsenting males must be banned as soon as possible.

Infant Circumcision is "a Christian right"? It's not even a Jewish right. It's the epitome of filth and human degradation. The person who invented it (Abraham) was a psychotic, claiming he talked with, and heard, God. Claimed he got his orders from God. Anybody who pulls that kind of stunt nowadays is locked up forever in a padded cell, with daily injections to keep him quiet.

Re the Bible: I ask: How on earth can any book be its own authority? Yes, some of the prophecies have come true, and it looks as if others will, also. So what? Why does that mean I have to gobble up the whole chunk of meat? There's gristle in that there steak, and I don't eat gristle.

You, Russell, revere the Bible and the ancient people who produced it. Fine, why don't you follow their entire lifestyle, not just the parts that suit you. For starters, in that ancient culture, any man who didn't find a wife and have children was likely to be looked down on, even viewed suspiciously. Marriage and family were everything to those ancient Hebrew tribes. How come they aren't everything to you, too?
