I completely agree. Why should we pay for other people deciding to play roulette with their own lives by not wearing a seat belt. It's pretty stupid that by law children under a certain age must wear a seat belt and then not enforce that for an adult person.
Obviously for that age the apparent vote is 'yes', because even though babies don't tend to remember things at that age, I would happen to believe it can still scar a baby in some way mentally.
However, having had a circumcision for a medically necessary reason at the age of 20, I believe it would potentially solve some problems, therefore I vote that there is a reason to do it as a baby, because believe me it is not a nice experience to have to live with at the age I had it, or even a younger age (such as early teens/pre teens).
I don't support religions enforcing this, I would rather there was consent (as a baby, you are not consenting for this, it is down to the judgement of the parents, so this could be a control factor for religion to be 'practiced'). However as mentioned, it is a lot worse to have to have this done at an older age when you have more feeling in that area.
Difficult argument indeed. The thing about religion is that it supports you through difficult times by helping you to believe there is a higher purpose and such. However, I believe religion is still too 'enforced' in this day and age. (example: arranged marriages, sex before marriage, anti-homosexual, etc.)
I think people can believe in whatever they want, and that religion should never be enforced.
