Actually, one is more prone to infections with a foreskin, due to lack of proper cleansing. Yeast infections are #1. This is not why I made the decision, but I am just commenting.

It's exactly that simple. Because I said so. He is my child. He can't make his own decisions. Per my religion, he is to be circumsized. Per the doctor's recommendations, circumcised penises are less likely to get infections. And there is no doubt in my mind that my son will APPRECIATE my decision. Uncircumcised penises are pretty gross IMO.Skyburning said:
It does not make you a bad Christian. I never said that.
SKYBURNING if this how how strong you feel, then maybe you should have waited to name you children since you stated that it is the child who has to live with the parents decision. Come on...support your own statement!!!!
I intend to properly cleanse my son. And anyone who has it done for quicker cleanup needs a reality check. Babies are work, if an extra minute or two in the tub is grounds to have your child's penis altered, then you shouldn't be having children.
The christian religion believes that God is infallible, correct? Why would he have built the male body with foreskin if he wanted it removed?
I stand corrected. "Because I said so" is a simple answer for simple minds.Lissa said:

A name can be changed, my son cannot regrow his foreskin. I do support my own statement. I have not made any irreversible decisions for my child.CJ's mom said:
I like that you bring this up because this is also a decision better left to the child. It drives me crazy to see 6 month old children with their ears pierced because the parent's wanted to "get it over with."FooserX said:
As far as the christian thing and circing. It actually says that Christians do not have to follow the old laws set upon Jews, so....
As far as girls making fun of a normal penis, well... one it is now more common for a boy to not be cut, this year they actually are saying it will be closer to 60% will not be circed.
Your chances of getting an infection that is serious is the same as the percentage of circs gone bad. To high, cuttin gof the entire penis, heart failure of the infant during the procedure. So either way, your chances are the same, why force physical pain and sexual assult on an infant? Also MOST infections that can appear due to not cleaning properly are treated with antibiotics the same as a girl!! Who by the way is much more likely to get an infection then a normal penis. I say we should cut off our daughters breasts as soon as they appear as well, just in case they get breast cancer. Oh and those ears!! OMG cut those off they might get outer ear infections too
We give antibiotics to girls and umm..... cut off their foreskin for boys? sounds funny to me

no I won't peirce Nichole's ears, until she is old enough to tell me if she wants them done and understands it hurts, not for long but it still hurts and requires work. Then I will take her.FooserX said:
Also I am not fully against circing, just don't like the misconception out there about a normal penis. If parents are doing it because they feel it is best, not that it looks prettier, and they also understand there is not one medical body that says circing is beneficial, then well.... If they feel liek hurrting their newborn childrne and permenatly ultering their lives then so be it
Yuck? Will you also never let your child dress himself because he likes to wear blue and red together and you think it's not visually appealing? Your line of reasoning <I>is</I> simple minded.Lissa said:What if we all left our decisions up to our children?
I'm sorry, but YUCK.
Based on this line of reasoning, women should also have their vaginas altered because some people find a vagina visually unappealing. We should also provide cosmetic surgery for anyone not as fortunate as yourself, Lissa.
