re: #69 Creeping Diversity

It doesn’t really matter how many people for how many years have been doing something. Only the substance of the act matters. If the act is harmful, it should be stopped regardless of how many people do it or have been doing it.

But we are talking about circumcision. Your general statement is nice, but irrelevant. It is like saying a person should never jump from an airplane in flight. A nice general statement and does not specifically refer to parachute jumping.

My point is that by virtue of the thousands of years and millions of practitioners circumcision is NOT a harmful act.
