Description

Cat, meet pigeons. As an atheist, I do oppose what amounts to mutilation on religious grounds. I mean, I wouldn't be allowed to cut my hypothetical child's earlobes off, just because I believed they were bad, would I? So why should this be different? Hint: if an answer rests on "tradition" it is probably not going to persuade me.
