Of course, for those who don`t believe, they won`t see a reason for that. But what all religious people who believe, i ask for comprehension and not to jump to using words like mutilation and body violation, because those are words and feelings that speak more than this explicit reality.

 

It's a perfect way to describe this procedure, when done for anything other than medical emergencies (on infants of course, as adutls can get a circumcision for whatever reason they want). The problem is that you simpoly have no respect for other people's rights.

Also, you still didn't answer if you'd RESPECT the act of virgin sacrifices, if it were areligious practice (the fact that it's a hypothetical scenario is irrelevant, the purpose is to see how far you would go).

I do respect other people`s rights and you know that. I may not see eye to eye with you on this - again - but i do care. What you are not seeing here is that if you look at the big picture no one is an absolute defender of people`s rights. Why? Because everyone has a vision of the world that sooner or later will "touch" other people`s rights.

I said this "o, speaking of your virgin sacrifices, i wouldn`t agree". Why i didn`t use the word respect, i`ll explain.
I rarely use that word for a single reason: i don`t use that idea for myself or for my way of being. I either agree with something or don`t. I never put myself the question if it`s something to respect or not. It`s just not my way of dealing with issues or life in general. Might seem semanthics to you, but to me it`s not.
It´s almost like asking me about Hitler and if i respected him, i probably wouldn`t use that "respect" conotation as it`s not me.

If a religious practice were to do that, i will say i don`t agree because it`s how i feel. Should you want, you can replace it with i "can`t respect it". But as i said, it wouldn`t be my way of expressing myself.
