Many medical decisions affect a person their entire life. Removing a pinkie isn't the same as circumcision. Your arguments related to sex may or may not be true, but I'd need more than your good word to believe circumcision hinders sex somehow. For as long as loss of function isn't proven, the wisdom inherent in tradition will imperate, and so it's not a moral crime.
I explained the mechanics of it clearly. I don't know how one would go about "proving" it and that makes you sound like a deboonker. But since I can immobilize my foreskin and get a pretty good idea of the mechanics of a circumcised penis (something you'd only do if you need to get off faster because you only paid for the half hour) and you cannot do the opposite it would be wise to at least take me seriously in which case it would be prudent to not circumcise. I don't think Chesterton's Fence applies here as circumcision among Christians is a recent and geographically isolated innovation.
e: And think about this, you do have to take my word for it. Maybe I'm wrong. Maybe I'm lying. BUT YOU DON'T KNOW. You can't know. You can't know how human intercourse actually works. Isn't that fucked up? Unless you are 100% sure I am lying that should make you rethink your position.
Circumcised people have sex without issue. Regardless of the supersession of the old law, God would not have taught an immoral ritual, and so circumcision cannot be immoral.
Without issue but not mechanically like normal people (and I would argue that later life it can cause issues).
Jews are born into that covenant; gentiles are not. God can command that someone and all their descendants be circumcised in the same way he can kill; it does not make it moral for a human to do the same. Either you believe in the God of Abraham, in which case it is moral for them to circumcise their sons but that doesn't mean it is moral for you to do the same, or you don't believe in the God of Abraham in which case it is immoral in both cases. There isn't a case where it is moral for a gentile to circumcise their child.
You're making that up.
