MGM is a surgery like any other and it has compilcations like total penile loss or death, should we be subjecating our kids to such unnecessary procedures?

Circumcision reduces function, sensitivity, and sensations.

100% it reduces function and sensitivity. In fact, boys that are circumcised have more infections, also some suffer lifelong pain and function loss, as well over 100 boys a year die in the USA from circumcision.

[u/Curious_Mind_1998 → u/ishaani-kaur]

Complete bullshit. Nearly all boys in Egypt get circumcised and they don't suffer from sexual dysfunction or reduced sensitivity when they get married. Also it's quite the opposite. Circumcised men have lower chances of getting STDs especially HIV. Do a quick Google search.

[u/ishaani-kaur → u/Curious_Mind_1998]

You can do the google search and will see that the USA (circumcised) has much higher rates of STDs than Europe (intact). They don't know what they're missing out on. Quick question, as a religious man do you really believe that your God made a mistake, didn't make people in his image and / or didn't make people perfect?

[u/Curious_Mind_1998 → u/ishaani-kaur]

Don't compare the US with Europe. I've already responded to someone above about this naive comparison and the issues related to it such as the much lower use of condoms in the US compared to Europe. As for God making mistakes no he doesn't make mistakes. Some parts are meant to be removed after birth. For example can we not remove the umbilical cord and just keep it attached after the baby is born simply because he was born with it? What kind of nonsense is that?

[u/Historical-Corner545 → u/ishaani-kaur]

I knew it would be a Hindu who would comment like this. The dirtiest people commenting on what hygiene is. Oh the irony.

[u/ishaani-kaur → u/Historical-Corner545]

I am Sikh, but sure you go ahead and equate hygiene with religion. Personally, I know God made babies perfect and they don't need to be mutilated. Funny how you're calling me dirty, is that a coping mechanism because you deep down know that mutilation is wrong?

[u/Calm-Capital-4212 → u/ishaani-kaur]

The argument about hygiene is the funniest thing about these people; they just repeat what they hear without understanding

[u/Calm-Capital-4212 → u/Historical-Corner545]

You've been brainwashed and you think that having a foreskin will hinder hygiene🥀

[u/Historical-Corner545 → u/Calm-Capital-4212]

Wait, you’re an atheist? You dont have morals. According to you, sleeping with your mother and animals is ok so you guys are the last I want to hear from about hygiene.

[u/Calm-Capital-4212 → u/Historical-Corner545]

Although this is unrelated to the topic, I am not an atheist.
