Generally medical proxies are supposed to order medically beneficial procedures. There are minor medical benefits for each side, but no compelling reason in favor of circumcision. And realistically, most of it is done for religious reasons. Now I'm all for religious expression, but a medical proxy does not have the right to force religious practices on their charge. In addition, it's odd that so many circumcisions are done by Christians, since that practice was deemed obsolete nearly 2,000 years ago by Jesus' teachings.

And the New Testament has like 3 verses against the practice anyway. But no one, and I mean [i]no one[/i] in America actually reads the Bible, because they'd find a very many inconvenient truths within it.

...I do...I'm just saying that there's no religious reason for Christians to do it. Those that do it are specifically ignoring a major teaching of their deity.

Oh, well except for you :P But yeah, I know grown adults who went to Catholic school and don't even know what the Bible says about a lot of stuff.

I agree. A lot of religious people know very little about their religion, which is embarrassing and ridiculous. It's like someone claiming to be a musician without ever learning to read music.
