So now imagine if that “ritual” never took place-
if in said imagination, you can see that those boys would still be alive, then I’d say you’re half way there.
You’ll be all the way there when you are able to come to this conclusion all on your own.
Imagine taking a pro-circumcision stance in the comments of an article where 41 boys died as a result of the procedure- all while fully KNOWING that in this day and age, it is a brutal and absolutely unnecessary thing to do begin with.
Those boys would still be alive if assholes stoped butchering children’s genitalia.
END OF DEBATE.
Now imagine if those procedures were outlawed for being barbaric and unnecessary.
It would still happen, and be more dangerous. Cultural inertia would keep it happening and the requirement to keep it secret would drive it underground. Education is the way.
True, they should have just had a rabbi use their mouth to do it while they were still an infant. Good point.
