Whether I am aware of that cultural sen…[Read more]

Let god decide for you!

Seriously though try this…

1. fully inform yourself about each option

2. write down in bullet point form the possible outcomes for each choice and then the risks for each choice

CH: A moral person wouldn’t perform genital mutilation…

CH: But religion compels and demands and excuses it.

Rabbi: my son cried more at his first hair cut than when his penis was cut off.
