Circumcision ban getting people snippy.

@DélioPT:

It does justify, not just to you.

Religion can't be used as a justification for just anything.

I don`t know why you keep bringing that virgin sacrifice.

See above. You keep ignoring this, because you know it weakens your position. If everything that is a religious practice should be "respected" then that means that virgin sacrifices would have to be respected too, if they were mandated by a religion.

By themselves, i meant the kids, as in, the result would be the same.

But what makes you think that the children would get circumcised if they had a choice? Sri Lumpa already answered this pretty well.

It is, because it`s a wish that comes from God. At least in judaism. It`s meant to symbolize the union bewtween God and Abraham`s descendants.

Again, you cannot use religion to justify just anything. And as you said, it "symbolizes", in other words it's pointless. Also, what if the child decides that he doesn't want to be a jew when he grows up? Will someone give him his foreskin back?

And it is really not big of a deal. It`s a simples medical procedure. That`s it. No violence is used, no physical harm is done (no more than a normal procedure) to the child.

A child's foreskin is removed against his will. And there is physical harm (the foreskin disappears, penis sensitivity is lessened etc.).

If some do it because of health benefits, so be it, if others do it for religious reasons, so be it.

Yes, as long as the person undergoing the procedure is old enough to give consent and is fully aware of the nature of the procedure and it's consequences, then there's no problem. However, this should not be done on infants (unless there are emdical complications that require it).
