Circumsicion is necessary and ethical.

Ok, you're right, this is a pretty pointless debate because in a sense, nothing in life is necessary. However, I am trying to make a point that this is one of the most unnecessary things man has come to practice. If God wanted us circumcised, why not do it when he created us? Why mandate we take something earthly and apply it to our bodies when our bodies are supposed to be of divine creation; an intellectual design? Random ramble follows (This has nothing to do with debate, but at least will give insight to how I view the universe): Which, if you've ever studied the body, it is really amazing how it works, and really makes you consider if someone could design the machine that is our bodies, or if it was all left up to evolution (yes, it was, which is even more awesome if you can wrap your head around the fact that everything is a reaction to the forces of the universe: gravity, strong force, weak force, electro-magnetic force [which, if you truly believe, as I do, then it leads to only one possible outcome, that there is no free will, because every action was caused by some other action, therefore, it all started with the first action]) In practicing this we have molded minds to think it is the right thing to do. It makes people who want to continue this practice to reiterate statements that are factual about something that would seem to make it good, but people also only seem to consider the good when it comes to these things. Id Est - as I have said, and agreed when everyone else states it - it does decrease risk of disease by allowing for greater ability to have hygiene (even though, it is perfectly possible for an uncircumcised man to have such same hygiene, he must take a little extra care). However - this is just one benefit. Those who argue for circumcision fail to realize any drawbacks to this procedure. Such as: no surgical operation = no chance for any complications of such surgery; the glans of the penis will remain in it's softer, more natural state, allowing for a more pleasurable sexual experience, as well as preventing any chaffing of an area that would normally never experience such chaffing (this is called "Meatal Ulceration" and occurs in 30% of infants who are circumcised), as well as prevent the opening of the urethra from "shrinking" due to constant irritation that the foreskin would have protected from (known as "meatal stenosis"). If I have not at least opened your eyes to seeing that there are indeed losses occurred more than "just the foreskin," then at least take this into consideration: A 1991 survey of 301 males seeking restoration information showed almost 70% of those circumcised as infants or as children resent their parents for their circumcision. If we cannot agree that circumcision should be stopped, at least agree that maybe it should be left up to the individual, and not have a permanent physical procedure done at the time when the individual is not fully conscious and sentient about his body. This is the ethical part of the debate that we have very rarely touched on, my fault as much as yours. I believe that if you believe in abortion, you're a hypocrite to believe in circumcision. I believe that if you believe that genital mutilation is bad (in the case when woman's gonads are altered), then you are a hypocrite to belittle circumcision as nothing more than a common medical procedure. I also believe that a man should have the right to decide whether or not he wants to partake in this operation before it becomes permanent. And I also believe that maybe, JUST MAYBE, if there were no circumcised men, there may be less wars and murders, because sex might feel that much better that we'd be having intercourse much more and fighting much less (Okay, so this one is pretty far fetched, but you get my point - why do something that is not necessary that has much more disadvantages than advantages?) Thank you again for taking to time to debate me Jemual. I appreciate your arguments, and again hope that I have, if not persuaded you that it is unnecessary and unethical, then at the very least made you aware of the drawbacks and the possible risks to circumcision.
