Deicide:

Yes because you mostly have unprotected sex so you think everyone is like you the reason am engaging you is simple because we are still on the topic and pls i would not tolerate any insult not being able to have a civil conversation is not my fault...

I wouldn't have opened this thread if I hadn't done some personal research.....personal hygiene is not that necessary for females but it helps

@reded it does but just few that it can be ignored just like in males


Oga go and get yourself circumcised and stop your ignorant talk.

When you get married, go ahead and sleep with your wife with a condom throughout your marriage because you feel HIV is only sexually transmitted ba? grin cheesy

I didn't specifically direct my comment at you. I made a sweeping comment. Theists have been called "illogical" by atheists and more so, here on Nairaland.

If you have never said so then disregard.

I'm completely against the cutting off part of a person without due consent. Furthermore, modern scientific sources show us that the foreskin is actually a very useful part of a functional pen!s, full of nerve-endings, and allows easier penetration during sexual intercourse. The purported health benefits are not worth the risk and pain involved in the operation.

We've banned Female Genital Mutilation in all forms including the clitoral prick, owing to the rights to body autonomy. Why then shouldn't we do the same for Male Genital Mutilation?

I have never seen where Christians would say their threads are meant strictly for Christians and that stopped the atheists from entering it and making their usual lousy comments. cheesy

Per your comment about Egyptians and circumcision it still doesn't change the fact that alleged "goat herders" also declared it. grin

Maybe they owned world class medical research centres and sensitive equipment that could run tests and diagnose all by itself. cheesy

@ butterflylion read this article and tell me what you think.

http://www.intactamerica.org/learnmore

I once watched a certain video on YouTube where Ayaan hirsi Ali was speaking about her foundation and her fight against female genital mutilation.

when I read the comments I wasn't surprised to see some men making it about themselves because they will see their issues and keep quiet but come to where feminists are speaking and derail the conversation by screaming "what about the boys" lol

what surprised me actually was that many people in the comments were really against circumcision for boys.

They claimed scientists are playing down the disadvantages of infant circumcision because it is mostly done by the jews and they are placed on pedestal unlike the Muslims everybody critize.

I read the link to articles posted in the comments, I must say they really have a strong case.

Circumcision holds immense benefit for men but none for the female. Perhaps you need to read about it from male adults who got circumcised and see their before and after testimonies. Read the link below

Yeah I agree, but the nay sayers say the benefits aren't enough to make circumcision for boys universal or mandatory.

In general I think the benefits of circumcision outweigh the risks anyway.

.

The naysayers are simply being emotional about it. A moment of pain is better than a death sentence.

The benefits are life preserving and dignifying. They just want to complain. While they are doing so, more people are talking about the personal benefits they got from it just like in the link I provided.

Here are the facts.

1. Circumcision is older than the bible.

2. Male circumcision has more benefits than disadvantages. That extra skin carries extra health problems.

3. However, there is a human rights debate-- shouldnt the child have rights over his body?

My brother, I laugh so hard when I argue with this people because I understand their problem.

Do you know what a program does to a computer? That's what religion does to people. I use to react that way and now I know where the problem lies - The Brain (CPU)

My debugging started when I read Hardmirror's account here. It made me to pick a couple of books the first being "The Age of Reason". That book debug a whole lot of nonsense.

So when you hit religious people with common sense, the particular program (religion) installed in their brain from childhood starts reacting.

So asking that you read for the sake of your son is an insult? Lmao

Do you see why many people say atheists are thick between the ears?

Despite knowing the health risks and health benefits of circumcision you would rather have your son decide when he is already an adult? Perhaps by then he would have gotten a terminal health condition due to your ignorance and "wicked" thought of allowing him to decide by himself. Smh

This is why circumcision is recommended

1. Easier hygiene.

2. Decreased risk of urinary tract infections.

3. Decreased risk of sexually transmitted infections.

4. Decreased risk of penile cancer.

Now that you know, you can "wickedly" keep saying you would wait till he is an adult so he can decide for himself.
And show me one, just one single verse in the Bible where the above stated reasons for circumcision is cited. Isn't this why that ladygodiva said people today circumcise for purely health reasons as opposed to the religious obligations of the old testament?

So much of the health benefits was dictated in the old testament to the extent that Paul could say neither circumcision nor uncircumcision counts...

Jumbo dumbo go and fix your road rash and get circumcised. cheesy

I do not think you have children. If you do then I do not think you love them.

If as an adult you know without a doubt what would keep your children alive and make them more comfortable and dignified would you deny them that simply because you want them to decide by themselves much later in life when perhaps by then the damage would have been done?

Read this testimonies from those who have actually taken the cut.

I think the people fighting against circumcision are doing so not becos of health reasons but because it's God's ordained command. For crying out loud, why won't a boy be circumcised?

And he thinks slavery has not always been a part of us.
