Re: What legal things would you make illegal?

[philstar22]

Okay. I get that. And it does make me personally uncomfortable. I'm against it. And I go back and forth on allowing it. But I just know how important it is to the Jewish faith.

Re: What legal things would you make illegal?

[(Anonymous)]

Who cares if it is important to Jewish people. Stoning gay people is important in some religions. You cool with that?

Re: What legal things would you make illegal?

[(Anonymous)]

If you had some chill, I'd probably agree with you. But you're borderline jumping down philstar's throat when they're being perfectly reasonable.

Re: What legal things would you make illegal?

+1

Seriously.

Re: What legal things would you make illegal?

[philstar22]

Uh, as I said above, I draw the line at life threatening things. Refusing blood transfusions for vaccines for kids not cool. Something that doesn't cause lasting suffering of any sort and has such a negligible effect? In that case, I think religion wins out.

Re: What legal things would you make illegal?

[(Anonymous)]

I'd argue against that. How do you know the person will stick with the faith?

Obviously they will be ethnically Jewish, but if they leave later and would have opted not to have done it, do the parents' religious rights supercede the future adult's right to make the decision for themselves?

Re: What legal things would you make illegal?

[(Anonymous)]

I'm imagining what my reaction would have been if my Christian mom had tattooed or scarred me with some religious symbol when I was an infant.

Even if it were harmless if it stuck with my staunch atheist self forever I'd be furious about it.

Re: What legal things would you make illegal?

[philstar22]

I think Judaism is complicated since it is both a religion and a culture/ethnicity. And as far as I know, there is no religion that says you can't be circumcised, so I don't see how future beliefs would be at issue.

But, anyway, someone told me that it can kill. So changing my opinion and need to do more research.

Re: What legal things would you make illegal?

[(Anonymous)]

It wasn't about them being barred from other religious, but about them having to carry that mark of their parents' religion for the rest of their lives even if they choose to leave it.

Not something I'd personally want to let parents force upon babies.

Re: What legal things would you make illegal?

[(Anonymous)]

If a religion hinges on the genital mutilation of infants and would struggle without it I have a hard time being tolerant of said religion.

Re: What legal things would you make illegal?

[philstar22]

You are right. I guess I wasn't thinking about it as genital mutilation since the foreskin is so small and doesn't have much use. But having done some more reading, it is not what I thought it was and I agree with you.
