Would you chop off your pinky toe? No, I don't think so. Yet it is also utterly useless. So why mutilate the sexual organs of all things? It is barbaric. Why I understand that it is practice in Judaisim, that doesn't dismiss its barbaric-ness solely on it being religious. That's like saying ritual killings in cult religions is okay because its part of the religion - though not too that extent of course.

Except there is no ongoing harmful effect of male circumcision. There is ongoing harmful effect of female circumcision (painful sex, male domination etc) and chopping off you're pinky toe (limping, loss of balance, looks damn freaky, etc).

The foreskin is there for a reason. Like Alcar mentioned, you loose a lot of sensitivity. Circumcision was created by some religous nuts who wanted to prevent their children from masturbating. Less sensitivity means you become less likely to be aroused, so they hoped it would eliminate masturbation. It didn't really work out that way...

Bullshit. It was created by
religious nuts in 1500BC (Before Cleanliness)who noticed that guys without a foreskin had significantly less chance of infections, smegma and whatnot.
There is a justifiable argument then that circumcision is not still needed today but seeing as it causes no harm, then there is no problem
And, yes, I did just want the chance to use the word 'smegma'.
