I even have a scanned page of the circumsision quote.
Enough proof for you? |
You presented a paragraph from one page of a fifty year old book which recommended circumcision for women if there are some medical problems from too much masturbation(which I admit is silly).
So can you now try to explain how this is any proof of any wide spread modern Christian practices of female circumcison as you presented before, with the words 'must be a serious Christian issue?'
Your original post Quote:
I read a book, writen by some christian guy.
He said that masturbation is wrong, because it trivialises our sacred organs that are there to increase intamacy between a husband and a wife.
By masturbating, you are using your sacred organs for your own shallow indulgance.
This christian guy circumsised girls to stop them masturbating. It must be a serious christian issue. |
What was actually in the book itself -
"There is an anatomical factor that sometimes causes irritation about the clitoris and thus encourages a manipulation of the delicate reproductive organs.
Although such cases are not very common, evidence of irritation of these tissues is sufficient reason for a young woman to consult a Christian physician.
Often times the remedy for this situation consists of a minor surgical operation known as a circumcision."
So basically you pulled out an old 1950's morals guide for women, and presented it as evidence of some supposed wide spread practice(in your original post) of possible Christian circumcision of women.
Your own words
'must be a serious Christian issue' have hung you by your own petard.
This is not a common religious practice, or a serious issue with Christians, now or ever.
You may of course have us confused with some sects of Muslims.
'must have been done by some Christian guy'
Yes it was-
In the evidence you provided, it was not performed by a priest, it was done by a physician, admittedly a Christian one.
But theres no law against a physician being a Christian is there.
Care to retract now?
