Catsix, I don’t know if you’re really as stupid as you’re acting or if it’s just some fucked up act.
Again, I have no idea what a “sky pixie” is, nor was I debating the Christian religion. The “invisible pink unicorns” thing is an analogy to explain why it’s absurd to be asked to prove that God doesn’t exist. In logic, having no evidence of something is sufficient to conclude, provisionally, that it’s not there.
I didn’t bring up the Davidians at all. Someone else did, in an analogy whose point was obviously completely lost on you.
WHAT IN THE NAME OF GOD IS WRONG WITH YOU?
I was responding to the fact that you equated violation of the law with “fucked up obsession”. I was illustrating the fact that it’s not necessarily “fucked up” to violate the law - in fact, in some cases doing something in violation of the law is the only moral act.
I DID NOT CALL YOU A NAZI. IF YOU THINK I CALLED YOU A NAZI, IT’S BECAUSE YOU’RE STUPID. YES, I DID JUST CALL YOU STUPID. THAT IS NOT THE SAME AS CALLING YOU A NAZI.
I don’t know why you keep doing this - ignoring everything I say in order to pick out words that you can interpret as insults. Here’s a clue: when I point out that you’re batshit insane, that’s an insult. If I say anything about Nazis, it’s not an insult. I wouldn’t compare anyone to the Nazis because murdering millions of people is different than, for instance, correcting grammar (as in the common term “Grammar Nazi”), fighting for women’s rights (like in the idiotic right-wing slur “Feminazi”) and so on. I wouldn’t call you a Nazi unless you killed ten million people, started a world war, and proclaimed yourself the head of the National Socialist party. So don’t worry.
Listen carefully! NO ONE EQUATED THE TWO. I would never do so, because I don’t think the murder of millions of people is something to be treated lightly. I do not compare people to Nazis simply because they disagree with me.
I simply pointed out that whether something is legal or not is not a good way to determine if it’s moral, and violating the law can be either bad or good depending on the circumstance. You stated that - and this is a paraphrase, but an accurate one - if Jewish people are willing to circumcise their kids in violation of the law, than it’s a “fucked up obsession”. You specifically cited the notion that doing it if it were illegal would indicate a “fucked up obsession”. You stated that it was the illegality of the act that made it a “fucked up obsession”. I was just pointing out that legality has nothing to do with whether it’s a “fucked up obsession”.
Can I possibly be any clearer here?
Look, catsix, I don’t know what’s wrong with you. I don’t know why your “argument” consists of repeating the same things over and over, and then twisting everything anyone else says into some bizarro-world version of what you think a counterargument might be. If you read what I say, you’ll see that I never once compared you, or any anti-circumcision folks, to Nazis. I never claimed there was anything similar. I made no comparison.
Meanwhile, I don’t hate you, but it’s becoming clear that you’re a lot worse that “batshit insane”. Maybe you act like this as a joke or something; maybe Weirddave was right earlier. But at any rate, I think you’ve proven the OP’s point that while most people can discuss the issue calmly, a certain number of people in favor of banning it are batshit insane morons. I just wish you’d leave the thread and let me talk to Chotii and Mangetout (if he comes back) in peace.
That’s my argument exactly. I can understand disagreement, but I still haven’t been convinced that it’s harmful enough to justify banning it. But I could be like catsix.

THE STATE MUST STEP IN TO PROTECT THE FORESKINS OF THE WEAK, FOR THIS IS THE GREATEST INJUSTICE THE WORLD HAS EVER KNOWN. THERE IS NO REASON TO DO IT EVER, EVEN IF MOST GUYS WHO HAVE CIRCUMCISED PENISES ARE HAPPY ABOUT IT. THEY’RE WRONG. I AND I ALONE AM CAPABLE OF JUDGING A PENIS TO BE ACCEPTABLE OR UNACCEPTABLE. DID YOU JUST CALL ME A NAZI?
