As usual, attempting diversions.

If you had bothered to read what I posted in those other threads you mention, they were pro-Jewish stuff.

As for circumcision, there is a fundamental issue with it that I have a problem with - and that pertains to the right of an individual to the physical integrity of his or her self.

If you really want to make a point worthy of a post on this thread, reply to the points I raised, instead of raising tangents. As it seems, you are merely avoiding the real elephant in the room, which concerns how much of a right you have as an individual, to your own body, versus what others, be they your parents or anyone else, have, over your physical self - to the extent that they are allowed to physically mutilate you based on cultural whims.

Very leftist diatribe there—”cultural whims”, “mutilate”, “physical integrity of his/her self”? Nobody speaks directly to your “points” because most of them are invalid from the conservative perspective.

How can a person claim to be “pro-Jewish” but at the same time consider their covenant sign to be “mutilation” which should be prohibited by law? Doesn’t that mean their God commands mutilation, and therefore there is something seriously wrong both with their God and with His followers?

You don't say?

Since you're an atheist, why don't you go register at some Communist board where you'll feel much more at home?

No diversions. We have never spoken before. There is nothing "pro-Jewish" about you. It is none of your damn business if Jewish people follow the Commandments. Of course you just want to "love" them out of existence. You are fooling no one.
