A German court has ruled that religious circumcision is a crime. It’s about time! The practice, irreversible, ought to be delayed until the boy has all the facts and the judgement needed to make his own choice.
I’d go a step further and insist that religious organizations be prohibited from entering a child’s mind until the child is of age to make informed choices. I still haven’t forgiven the Catholics for invading my six year-old head and filling it full of images of demons and burning flesh. This was given to me as the alternative to believing what they told me I must believe.
That is barbaric. But then we all know that if respect for youth was the accepted practice, religion as we know it would disappear, to be replaced by even crazier shit. Like Scientology.
