Re: The J-Word (A Thread That Shall Explode in Wank, Just Watch)
I almost hesitate to mention it, since I don't want to be a Harbinger Of Wank
especially since I'm going to bed soon and will miss it allbut otoh I don't think I should keep quiet on something that is important to me just because it might annoy others. I agree with you about kosher slaughtering, and one of my biggest bones with this issue is the idea that people should be allowed to inflict genital mutilation on their children just because it's part of their religion.This isn't about Judaism. I hold other religions to the same standards. I'm a Christian and it annoys the hell out of me when other Christians speak against marriage equality. Just because you're a Christian and believe gay = wrong (which is not my view, fwiw) doesn't give you the right to inflict that on other people.
tl;dr I totally agree - ethical concerns should be evaluated individually, regardless of their connection to religion or lack thereof, and religion is not an excuse for hurting someone else
Re: The J-Word (A Thread That Shall Explode in Wank, Just Watch)
(Anonymous) 2012-12-04 01:51 am (UTC)(link)I forgot about circumcision, it's not that common in the town I grew up in, even among the religious.
I do frown at that. Let the child decide when they grow up if the want to mangle their genitles (this goes doubly-so for female genital mutilation. Which is banned where I live, but I wish it was banned elsewhere to D:). I read (somewhere) recently that it's becoming less common as the supposed health benefits are disproved?
You'd think the families would want their children to grow up and make a decision for theirselves rather than forcing it on them before they can think.
tl;dr yes, each act/action should be evaluated individually as well as why it's being done. i.e. circumcising a baby = not cool, but if a man independantly chooses to circumcise so he is closer to his god, he can go ahead. It's his body.
This anon posted yesterday, walked off to do chores and never returned to the computer
Re: The J-Word (A Thread That Shall Explode in Wank, Just Watch)
That's not really relevant to the topic at hand. But yeah, agreeing for both genders - bodily mutilation should wait until the person whose body is concerned is old enough to make that decision for themself.
