Well, just like with bloodletting, there’s a limited medical use for it nowadays.
However , the simple traditional chop chopchopping still has biblical meaning.

i wasn't arguing that it didn't have "biblical meaning," i'm saying the "biblical meaning" is absolute fucking bullshit

and yes, it follows that i'm calling the bible bullshit, which it is

i wouldn't be mad about it if it weren't wrecking so many innocent lives

I don't even have a dick and I'm offended you would cut allusions to your favorite shitty book into someone else's penis without their consent. Do you not understand how profoundly fucking sick that is? Christianity is a disease.

Like if I knocked you out or found you passed out drunk then used a laser to burn the phrase 'mostly harmless' into your genitals in a way that would leave a life long scar, I'd get quite a kick out of it, and it has so many layers of meaning in reference to a shitty mess of a book I read a bunch as a kid. So it's fine to do. Honestly if we ever meet I'm doing this.

I don't think laser ablation counts as cavitation, don't push your fetish on others! /s

Real talk though, I do agree that any religion that requires the mutilation of any part of a child, let alone their genitals is ass backwards and shouldn't exist, failing that, should be entirely voluntary only performed after the child has grown into an adult that can make their own decisions

I have other kinks too, and ifthey can impose their cults; I can impose my kinks. I'll stop when they stop.

Hey as long as it's consensual then impose away.

Which I guess is the main point of issue for the rest of the world eh.

[–] cavitationfetishist2@quokk.au 1 points 2 days ago

They don't ask consent for their cults. Why should I for my kinks?

Did I say I suggest I agree with the non-medical practice or with the bible? I do not.

Okay, but it would be really funny so I'm still gonna. Sorry. I gotta laugh about the lack of bodily autonomy, or I'm gonna cry. You understand.

Yes, completely. I find the practice awful, and the female version truly gruesome.

Circumcision predates the Bible by at least 6000 years. The earliest depictions of circumcision have been found in tribal rock art in africa dating back to around 8000-10000bc.

Hell, even Herodotus mentions that Egyptians had been practicing circumcision since before recorded history.

From what we can gather the cultural practice migrated with people in the great push out of africa.
