To circumcise or not to circumcise?

[Foxaèr]

Less cognitive dissonance that way right? I would be less cynical about your reason to remain unconvinced if you could actually provide counter evidence, Kit.

I have provided the evidence before.

First and foremost, the main reason I support circumcision is that it no longer has the religious connotation that most atheist on this site most associate with the procedure. They might like to deny it, but it still holds sway in their minds due to the bible and that entire Jewish ceremony thing that still makes the news. Religion, it corrupts their rationality as much as they wish it did not. After all, the majority of the parents today who support circumcision never cite a religious reason for having it done for their child.

There is an actual, ACTUAL health benefit to being circumcised. It allows for a cleanliness that may not come naturally to some boys, because what kind of mother or father is going to always be there in the shower with the son?

If we're going to continue to be so political about what a child can decide, how about parents stop deciding the name of the child?

It's valid, as far as I am concerned.
