ale circumcision is the surgical removal of the foreskin from the human penis. This procedure derives from religious rituals. At one point it was done simply for religious purpose. Today we do understand the benefits of circumcisions. I personally don’t have a problem with circumcisions simply because of the medical benefits it provides. There are still some ritual aspects of circumcisions that I do not agree with.
A recent article surfaced with a rabbi’s quote asserting that oral suction at circumcision is preferred. This is where I must draw the line. I don’t agree that a religious figure or rabbi should be allowed to perform circumcisions. Listen to the crazy shit that is said when they are given the chance to justify themselves. In what right state of mind would anyone think that it is ok to orally suck on a child’s genitals? This is why these procedures should be left to medical professionals. Some people just don’t understand the risks you take of infecting on open wound by putting your filthy mouth on it. This is a completely unsafe practice. I must admit that this is not the only reason I reject the practice.
I admit that I hold a prejudice against religious officials. There is just too much to over look from their history. My stance is justified by all the scandals and immoral acts performed by these people whom claim to be of God. All of the scandals and child molestations are overwhelming. People reject religious circumcisions because they are discussed by the mention of a grown man placing the child’s genitals in or on their mouths. My questions remains, what is wrong with a doctor or medical professional performing circumcisions? Why does it need to be the duty of a religious figure? If the purpose of this procedure is to benefit the child, Why don’t these rabbis give up their participation in the act? As I mentioned before, I personally agree with the reasons behind having a circumcision for medical purposes. I do not agree with the religious ritual aspect of it.
