Was just talking at dinner with family, and it seems a logical action to ban circumcision, as in most cases, doesn’t have consent, and is a major (genitals are important) body modification. Can we ban it at the state level? Just a thought.

      Except its not even, at least for christians. Its actually even considered a sin for catholics. https://catholicism.org/ad-rem-no-283.html

      It became popular in the US because it was thought that it would stop people from masturbating. That’s why its an American thing and not a religious vs non religious thing (except for jewish people).

      Does such an order actually exist or do they pull it out of their ass in some convenient interpretation?

        It is in the Bible in Genesis 16:11. I have to say that if my god told me to cut off part of my dick I would be looking for a new religion though.
