> [@nearwildheaven](#): > > I thought it was Judaism and Islam that did their own versions of routine male circumcision, not Catholics. I think it was once common practice in the US regardless of religious affiliation. I don’t know if those rates have gone down. Personally I would err on the side of not altering a child’s body unnecessarily. I think that attitude is becoming more common. I am not religious. ---

And I don’t think this is a thread about male circumcision. ---

Yeah, it’s in the pit, so hijack away. But i refrained from commenting on the subject because i think there’s still things to say about the actual topic of this thread, and other places to talk about circumcision. ---

> [@Spice\_Weasel](#): > > I think it was once common practice in the US regardless of religious affiliation. I don’t know if those rates have gone down. As I posted above, it was a common _medical_ procedure. Nothing to do with religion. I believe the practice decreased around 1990. ---

Sorry, I got it confused with the dirty sex thread. We were talking about religious attitudes toward sex. ---

> [@Spice\_Weasel](#): > > Sorry, I got it confused with the dirty sex thread. “Oklahoma Proposes Anti-Dirty-Sex Bill”. Sounds quite credible, given the thread of Bible Belt bluenose running through the right wing there. ---
