1/ Stop projecting.

2/ African tribes don’t mutilate babies who can’t have anything explained to them and can’t consent. That’s why they wait until teenagerhood. So it’s not a trauma.

3/ Actually, there are facts to support these assertions - there are many psychology papers on the subject. I’m not going to link to any of them for you however because a/ you wouldn’t read them, because you’re not capable of changing your opinions, and b/ I very much doubt you’d understand the papers anyway. So no point, really.

4/ I don’t see what your point is about some demon pretending to be a god having so many followers. If anything, that simply proves just how powerful the coercive control has been. It’s infantilising. Mature human beings do not need to follow some authoritarian entity, god or demon. They don’t need ‘commandments’ or ‘diktats’ or to be told what to do, think, believe, feel etc. You clearly do, because you are incapable of psychological maturity. Mature people are innately good, and can tell the difference between right and wrong. The fact that you are attempting to defend lifelong mutilation of an innocent 8-days old baby, with all the accompanying trauma, adequately demonstrates your own inability to tell the difference. I seriously hope you don’t have children.

1) no because about 20% - 50% don't make it to puberty. It is a rite of passage to adulthood.

2) Are you insane, it is much more traumatic when you can see and understand what is happening and not have access to painkillers.

3) For every Psychologist that shares your view I can bring another who is totally opposed. it is the nature of today's society, in every sphere.

4) One man's terrorist is another man's freedom fighter, one man's demon is another man's god. The point about followers is that it has bearing on the weight of an opinion. "Mature people are innately good" you have no data to support that assertion and further you cannot define "good" except in your cultural environment. Killing is good if the government sanctions it. Theft is moral if it is in the form of taxes. Sex is bad unless you are 16 (in some states) 18 (in others) or 21 if you are insane.

5) I am not 'defending' anything except freedom. your viewpoint is not shared by millions not even in the western culture, so for you to make your opinion the basis of what others should or should not do is sheer hubris.

I hope that you do not have children, I encouraged mine to think for themselves and question everything. Which is why they are extremely successful and wealthy.

Yet you yourself refuse to question circumcision. Got it.

I am far too responsible to bring a child into a dystopian hell like this world. It would be cruel, abusive, and selfish. The only potential reason why I'd bring a child into this world would be to fully train it in all the skills and talents and understanding it needed to become a leader of the resistance. If that necessitated Monarch-style MPD programming then so be it.

Even so, given the number of children in the world without parents I would go down the adoption route, and make very sure that child knew it was loved.

If your children are 'extremely successful and wealthy' then I'm guessing they must be very well adapted to this society.

So you don't have children, you don't want children, you hate the world and all that is in it, you want to torture and traumatise children so that they can become terrorists and yet you want to give advice to people who are parents.!

Got it.

Get help.
