I have like 9 knocked up friends right now. I'm jealous. So I wrote a paper about a month ago on the dangers of RIC (routine infant circumcision) and gave the info to basically everyone I know, along with posting it public on facebook. Unfortunately, I don't think ANYONE but maybe three people read it.. This really upsets me. Not just because I worked so hard on it but also because people are parenting without education! How do I know they didn't read it you ask? Well if someone read it they wouldn't circumcise their kid..... I mean who in their right mind KNOWS these things and still circumcises?
Its painful for the baby during and after surgery.(they can't put a baby to sleep, they wouldn't wake up)
Babies don't have an immune system and you want to put an open wound in a diaper?!
It doesn't make them "cleaner" ( a shower makes you clean, not cutting off part of his penis.)
It doesn't stop them from getting STD's (condoms do that....)
1 in every 100 babies die from circumcision, most of which bleed to death.
over 56% of men these days are left intact, which means no he wouldn't be "different"
Even if dad is circumcised, they still won't "match" due to puberty, buy them matching shirts instead, its cheaper.

No medical association (including WHO) recommends it.
It interferes with their ability to breast feed.
and most important of all ITS HIS PENIS! What makes you think you can change it for absolutely no good reason?!
What I'm saying is if they had read my paper they wouldn't do it. I mean why cut off part of your kids penis? Its dangerous, painful, and not medically necessary. Who says, "hey my son is perfect, except that little piece right there, lets cut it off for no good reason."
Why do I care so much about someone ELSE's penis? I'm a child advocate. That's just who I am. I've been this way for as long as I can remember. I have this undying need to protect them. I don't know why I am the way I am but there's a pretty good chance that I'm not going to change. So my advice to you is this, get over it or get out. Yup that's pretty much it. I will speak up for what is right, no matter how many friends I lose. I just can't overlook someone intentionally harming their child.

Who in their right mind would do this to a child?
What you don't think that's what happens? Check out a video of it, you'll change your mind.
oh and i forgot to mention, the bible does NOT tell me so...
ReplyDeleteGalations 5:1 1-12
5It is for freedom that Christ has set us free. Stand firm, then, and do not let yourselves be burdened again by a yoke of slavery.
2 Mark my words! I, Paul, tell you that if you let yourselves be circumcised, Christ will be of no value to you at all. 3 Again I declare to every man who lets himself be circumcised that he is obligated to obey the whole law. 4 You who are trying to be justified by the law have been alienated from Christ; you have fallen away from grace. 5 For through the Spirit we eagerly await by faith the righteousness for which we hope. 6 For in Christ Jesus neither circumcision nor uncircumcision has any value. The only thing that counts is faith expressing itself through love.
7 You were running a good race. Who cut in on you to keep you from obeying the truth? 8 That kind of persuasion does not come from the one who calls you. 9 “A little yeast works through the whole batch of dough.” 10 I am confident in the Lord that you will take no other view. The one who is throwing you into confusion, whoever that may be, will have to pay the penalty. 11 Brothers and sisters, if I am still preaching circumcision, why am I still being persecuted? In that case the offense of the cross has been abolished. 12 As for those agitators, I wish they would go the whole way and emasculate themselves!
Galations 6: 12-16
12 It is those who want to make a good showing in the flesh lwho would force you to be circumcised, and only min order that they may not be persecuted for the cross of Christ. 13 For even those who are circumcised do not themselves keep the law, but they desire to have you circumcised that they may boast in your flesh. 14 But far be it from me to boast nexcept in the cross of our Lord Jesus Christ, by which1 the world ohas been crucified to me, and I to the world. 15 For pneither circumcision counts for anything, nor uncircumcision, but qa new creation. 16 And as for all who walk by this rule, rpeace and mercy be upon them, and upon sthe Israel of God.
Colossians 2: 8-14
8 Beware lest anyone cheat you through philosophy and empty deceit, according to the tradition of men, according to the basic principles of the world, and not according to Christ. 9 For in Him dwells all the fullness of the Godhead bodily; 10 and you are complete in Him, who is the head of all principality and power.11 In Him you were also circumcised with the circumcision made without hands, by putting off the body of the sins[a] of the flesh, by the circumcision of Christ, 12 buried with Him in baptism, in which you also were raised with Him through faith in the working of God, who raised Him from the dead. 13 And you, being dead in your trespasses and the uncircumcision of your flesh, He has made alive together with Him, having forgiven you all trespasses, 14 having wiped out the handwriting of requirements that was against us, which was contrary to us. And He has taken it out of the way, having nailed it to the cross.
Titus 1: 10-11
For there are many rebellious people, mere talkers and deceivers, especially those of the circumcision group.
1Corinthians 7: 17-20
17 But as God hath distributed to every man, as the Lord hath called every one, so let him walk. And so ordain I in all churches.
18 Is any man called being circumcised? let him not become uncircumcised. Is any called in uncircumcision? let him not be circumcised.
19 Circumcision is nothing, and uncircumcision is nothing, but the keeping of the commandments of God.
20 Let every man abide in the same calling wherein he was called.
Philippians 3:2-3
2 Beware of the dogs, beware of the evil workers, beware of the [a]false circumcision; 3 for we are the true [b]circumcision, who worship in the Spirit of God and glory in Christ Jesus and put no confidence in the flesh
Hey I read it ;)
