It's still better than rationalizing, with a straight face, killing haemophiliac infants.
That is exactly what Bible demands of its followers: to kill hemophilic infants by circumcising them.
How many millions of babies do you think have died because they were hemophilic and their parents circumcised them because it was a "moral" thing to do according to Bible?
teachings of the Bible are so muddled and self-contradictory that it was possible for Christians to happily burn heretics alive for five long centuries. It was even possible for the most venerated patriarchs of the Church, like St. Augustine and St. Thomas Aquinas, to conclude that heretics should be tortured (Augustine) or killed outright (Aquinas). Martin Luther and John Calvin advocated the wholesale murder of heretics, apostates, Jews, and witches. - Sam Harris, "Letter To A Christian Nation"
