Why the crap is circumcision still a thing? [Spirituality & Religion]

I asked this the other day and the best response i got was "because babies don't remember the pain".
There is no acceptable reason for mutilating a baby

And why does it matter to you what other people do? It doesn't affect you at all and is none of your business is it?

@hyg346:

Why should i care if babies are being mutilated? You're right, it doesn't personally affect me.
That's why i don't care about people in africa dying of aids or kids in the middle east being blown up in a religious war and it's why i don't give a crap about the poverty and suppression in north korea or the kids working in sweat shops to make cheap clothing. If it doesn't affect me then who cares, right?

@MetalGreymon: ok we'll all just live life by your ways because you're so important. Get over yourself.

@hyg346:

Sorry, was that meant to be a rebuttal?
Did you have some legitimate point of contention or is sarcastic acquiescence all you have to offer?

lol try again, sport.

@MetalGreymon: haha you think you're so important I need to actually debate you? I stand by my original statement. You're wrong plain and simple. What other people do is none of your business. The world doesn't owe you an explanation nor do people need your approval for performing a medical procedure on their kid for their reasons whatever they may be. Don't like it, too bad. It's not your place to question what others do or how they live their life. You have a valid reason why they should? Nope you don't because you're not that important in life.

@hyg346:

Ah. So your rebuttal is "you think you're important" and "you're wrong"

lol

Well i won't be wasting any more time on you. Run along, dullard.
The grownups are talking.

You may go.😏

@MetalGreymon: I don't need to rebutt you, who made you god to tell others how to live life?

@hyg346:

So true. I shouldn't be telling radical muslims to stop blowing up kids either.

lol you're done, halfwit.

@MetalGreymon: yup, twice now you have resorted to name calling because you can't refute why we all owe you an explanation and why we should change it to please you. And you change the topic repeatedly to totally different rants. 'why is cicrumcision still a thing" is the topic, so discuss it. Why do we need to live life by your way? Why are you right about it and why is everyone else wrong and who says we should do as you please? You have no answers so you switch topics to people dying of aids, middle east, poverty and North Korea and all your other idiotic points that have nothing to do with the topic at hand. You can delete the question or block me or stop responding if you'd like to end it.

@hyg346:

lol no genius,i mention aids and dead kids because you questioned why i should care about something that doesn't affect me. Blowing that absurd argument out of the water.

[quote]. Why do we need to live life by your way? Why are you right about it [/quote]

Good god, simpleton. Which part of this is going over your head?
You don't have to accept that i'm right. But if you disagree then you have to offer a counter argument.

So let's do it, tiger. Let's hear your counter argument.
I contend that it is wrong to mutilate a baby's genitals. No you tell me how it is ok.
Go on. I dare you😆

I'll be looking forward to whatever embarrassing excuse you present in hopes that it disguises how very FAR you are out of your depth.

Come on. Let's hear it, halfwit....

The only simpleton here is you thinking anyone needs to justify their actions to you. So go ahead and explain why I or anyone needs to answer to you?

@hyg346:

Yeah, that's what i thought. No counter argument whatsoever.
Just a pitiful, transparent excuse not to have to engage intellectually.

You accused me of changing the subject. And here you are trying to change the question from "why is circumcision still going on" to " b-b-but why should we have to justify ourselves?!"
Which is no counter argument at all.

You've embarrassed yourself enough.😏
You are dismissed...

@Celine: It's none of your business why people circumcise their kids. That is not your place to tell them how to live their life is it? No. so the question is completely invalid and irrelevant.

@MetalGreymon: I see, so your entire belief is the world needs to go on as you see it and anyone that chooses to do differently is deserves to be questioned? They do it because they can and to piss you off and make you ask retarded questions about why is it still done.
SW-User
@Celine: that isn't the topic being discussed.

@Celine: Is that the topic of conversation? I will answer you the exact same way I answered the original poster, it is none of your business what others legally do nor does the world need to exist the way you want it to exist. People don't need to justify their actions to you or metalgreymon. That's the way the world works, deal with it.

@Celine: the world doesn't answer to me or you. we may personally not agree with it, I may even think circumcision is wrong and mutilation like metal does, but it isn't my place to inflict my values on others and tell them what they can or can't do.

@Celine: Haha wow, I'm not god and I don't rule the world. Nobody elected me leader of the world to force my values and beliefs on others. The topic is circumcision and why is it still a thing. It is a legally allowed practice and it is a medical procedure, done for whatever reason. The parents don't need metal's approval or his consent nor do they have to answer to him on why they do it. that was my entire point, it's none of his damn business nor does it personally affect him. It's none of mine or yours either. I'm not going to be dragged into totally different arguments on anything but the original question.

@Celine: Ok whatever you like to believe. I'm not changing my answer that I originally had. It's none of his business.
