Actually, it does have significance in the life of a Christian, a lot of significance (more on this later).

I'm honestly not trying to advance it. Rather, I simply believe parents should retain the right to make the decision. My previous post points out some medical benefits as well as cautions that parents should know about so they can make an informed decision.


There is a difference between what dentists learn in school and what real studies show—a BIG difference.

When you're viewing medical studies, they are usually unbiased and peer reviewed, although you will find some bias in certain circumstances particularly involving pharmaceuticals up for approval. Normally, reading the body of the study you can tell the difference, but I don't expect that you have this kind of experience with studies because you don't regularly read them, so I don't fault you for your opinion. You're obviously doing the best you can with what you have to work with.

Pertaining to the Christian aspect...

This subject from a Christian point of view is very misunderstood as evidenced by recent posts on this thread so I want to promote accurate information from a Christian perspective as well.

Christians have the right to know the truth about circumcision without a media bias that so often colors people's opinions throughout the world today, being that media bias is nearly always anti-Christian. This is the reason I post information correcting your assumptions and misunderstandings regarding scripture. It is important to provide people with accurate information so they have the true freedom to make informed decisions.
