So circumcision of the infant is relatively painless if it's done on the 8th day, huh.

I read a letter written by a jewish man whose grandmother told him (when he was an adult) that she had attended his ritual jewish genital cutting when he was 8 days old - and he screamed for 12 hours, non-stop. He could not be consoled; he would not feed.

It was your normal, average, religious circumcision; there was no medical complications that required this baby to be hospitalized, no excessive bleeding or anything. He got the slug of sweet wine as anesthetic like they always do.

Twelve (12) hours.

Do you know what that man does today? He is a homosexual who runs an artificial insemination clinic for lesbians.

Now, tell me anything in this whole wide world that you want to tell me, but don't tell me that infant genital cutting does not seriously impair both the neurological system, and consequently the psychology, of the individual.

And thanks, Demi. I largely agree with your take on religion.


Animals feel pain & suffering just as we do, and they value their lives as much as we value ours.
