    Old enough to have no choice in the matter. We should be pissed at the church, backward medicine and our parents, not each other.

      Is the church even part of this? In most countries, christians don’t practice circumcision.

        They did heavily in lots of countries including mine. For decades and decades and decades. It was framed in two ways. You could go to hell if you didn’t or you could get really sick and it could fall off. Wonderful direction from the church. In my specific case Catholic Church.

          That’s wild, I didn’t expect that even the catholic church gets in on this. Where I live, this would sound completely absurd to most christians.
