Guys check out Foregen.org it is a registered charity in Italy and is acquiring 501 (C) 3 status to become a registered charity in the US. It's goal is to fully regenerate the male prepuce for victims of circumcision. They are currently raising funds are are in desperate need of help, please spread the word, donate, do whatever you to get Foregen heard. This is a serious organisation with realistic goals in mind using regenerative medicine such as stem cells. Please thumbs up!
there is no reason, medical or ethical to mutilate childrens genitals. it doesnt lower risk of infection if the person washes regularly, it sometimes makes sex less pleasurable and sometimes kills the child or causes an infection that will cause the genitals to be completely removed, its evil and no moral person who has though about it, supports it, the rabbi is evil, period
"Mutilation or maiming is an act of physical injury that degrades the appearance or function of any living body, usually without causing death." definition of mutilation. "The reproductive organs, especially the external sex organs." definition of genitals. "Male circumcision is the surgical removal of some or all of the foreskin (prepuce) from the penis." definition of circumcision. it is, by definition, genital mutilation and if god has a problem with forskin, he should not have made them
I've seen two videos of a slide show being played over the audio book of "God is Not Great", this one and a different one on Islam. Is there an entire video of these, or were they two different video makers with similar ideas?
I do have to disagree on one aspect. I'm opposed to forced genital mutilation, but it seems incorrect to claim that religion is the only way someone could do it to their son. My brother and I, like many American non-Jews and non-Muslims were cut for non-religious reasons.
You are correct. Hitchens was wrong in saying that only the religious would do this. However, I will still honor him for fighting against this form of child abuse.
I'm not aware of any videos going through God Is Not Great more than this. I also saw a second video with different pictures, using the same audio. This is from one of my old videos (about 3 years old now).
@freedom0speech While it is true that many non-religious people are circumsized, and for "non-religious" reasons, you cannot doubt that the reason why this practice came into existance to begin with is religion. It just happened to pass over to common practice. Any argument for it being healthier and cleaner has been disproved scientifically over and over again.
@kissfan7 within Christian families young boys are circumsized to prevend them from masturbating at a later age. so you're right about that, but does it make it moral?
@doyoublush Mark S. and Cheryl A. Brown's "Circumcision Decision: Prominence of Social Concerns" says most American parents cut their boys to look like their dad. While the original reason mutilation became popular with Christian Americans was to discourage masturbation, most who do it today don't cite that reason.
Our family were socially liberal Chreasters. Of course there is no good reason to mutilate a child, but the reason for my parents and most others wasn't anti-masturbation.
I wish that I would have had a choice regarding my genital mutilation. Alas, it was the "norm" for Jews and Gentiles in America at the time. It was wrong, though I've suffered no ill effects that I'm aware of.
It is mutilation, plain and simple. It is sick and wrong and completely typical of the vile and primitive rituals that are the hallmarks of religion and more specifically, monotheistic religions.
I cried when I found that Hitchens had passed on, and I didn't need a belief in religion to feel sad for ones passing. Thank you, Christopher Hitchens, for every debate, every fierce rebuttal, every inspirational thing you've ever said. You will forever be in our thoughts and memories, and truly with your great work, will never be forgotten.
What perplexes me, (or rather should but doesnt on account of my full knowledge as to the extensive hypocrisy of the theistic mindset) is how someone can be against abortion, which doesnt even deal with with a real human life anyway, and still be in favor of circumcision, especially considering that according to the theist, the zygote is an actual human life.
Alright, I'm 14 and I've had a circumcision. My penis, non erect, shows almost its entire full head. What is the difference between the snipping and full circumcision in this video? I'm kind of confused. I never really saw it as such a bad thing.
@uzamakirendan Its genital mutilation, the foreskin is the most sensitive part of the male reproductive organ housing 20,000 out of the 24,000 nerve endings in the penis. You were robbed of most of your sensation.
Circumcision removes the most sensitive part of a man's penis. The five most sensitive areas of the penis are on the foreskin. The transitional region from the external to the internal foreskin is the most sensitive region of the fully intact penis, and more sensitive than the most sensitive region of the circumcised penis.
@uzamakirendan There are two types of circumcision, Milah and Periah. Milah just removed the foreskin (part infront of glans), Periah removes most of the prepuce which covers the glans. Basically Milah is snipping very end off, Periah removing most of prepuce exposing glans constantly. Milah doesn't cause any sexual dysfunction and was the circumcision done by early ancients, Periah removes most of nerve endings leading to a dull sex life, I'm sorry but yours will be Periah...
that rabbi is so brainwashed saying he is being "excessive" - babies are dieing from it - it is child abuse - and the jews get a rabbi to suck the blood off when they're doing it and the muslims are doing it to females..a five year old girl in my neices school told her it happened to her - disgusting - why should our children be listening party to this sheer depravity
a child who lives near my house 28 minutes after they circumcised him - he went blue in the face and died - his name was avital moshe - so sad - im disgusted
the coroner concluded that "he died of natural circumstances" - shame on them all
Carl Sagan and Arthur C. Clarke have both called out the evil of cutting a child's genitals in their books. It's satisfying that the most intelligent people in the world consistently are against it.
All intelligent and thoughtful people are against circumcision. No person who is supportive of circumcision is thinking rationally, or honestly.
It's from the novel he wrote titled Contact. It's a piece of a rant by the character Sol Hadden, but there's no doubt it was mostly Sagan's opinions. And it goes as follows:
You see, the religious people—most of them—really think this planet is an experiment.
@transwarp100 I wonder if you noticed that it was because he was focused on the audience. He wasn't so much arguing with his opponents as addressing the audience so that they can learn his views as opposed to being entertained by the spectacle.

That's one of the things I LOVED about Hitch. He looked at and spoke to the audience. Doing that made the audience feel like they were part of the debate and not just observing it. When I look at old debates it is almost always the case. Hitch talking to the audience, and his oppenent talking to him.
@transwarp100 On the contrary, our respect for Hitch is largely predicated on the fact that he was so fallible and human (the drinking and smoking, for starters), and many of us disagree with him vehemently about Iraq - but I'm sure that if I were to take him on about it, I would lose the argument.

hitchen is a history distorter ...and a jewish ass kisser .....judaism created both male and female circumcision...do your homework next time hitchen ...oops you can't lol ....another hypocrite bites the dust...
@914light -- God, you're stupid. The earliest recorded accounts of circumcision predate Jewish tradition by thousands of years. So far, we have seen it begin in Egypt.
I hope all progressive jews and rabbis who go against circumcision spread more and more their voice and this barbarious practice be kept only by grown up people who willingly decide to undergo it,not force it on babies and children (or on anyone unwilling to do it,either).
@Gwynsek A small but growing number of Jews (more than 3/4 in parts of Europe) are opting not to circumcise. Contact details for celebrants of Brit Shalom (non-surgical naming ceremonies) are at tinyurl /britshalom
@Hugh7777 oh thank you so much for this link,I will share it with my intactivist friends on Facebook !! Peace and love to you and all your dear ones in these Holidays,may the Light be with you,hugs !
Hitchens sums up circumcision of children very well as a "disgusting practice." Thanks for this excellent video. Hitchens will never be forgotten for his clarity on the issue of genital mutilation of children.
"it increases our chances of wining a nobleprice" wow, is that rabbi seriously saying that? "The white-european race is clearly superior cause we own 80% of the world's reasources"... it's like saying that.....
Babies SCREAM when circumcised. It is torture on the baby.
Circumcision is a violation of the human right to an intact body. Amputating normal body parts, such as the male foreskin or female clitoral hood / labia, is genital mutilation. Genital cutting of unconsenting minors must come to a quick and complete end, worldwide.
@Chadolution, I find it ironic that the thoroughly religious often say they are pro-life when they have no problems mutilating live babies and executing people wholesale. From Christianity to Islam to global tribalism. It's ridiculous.
A true giant of a man. An intellect that will be remembered for all time, a literary wordplay genius, a debating monster. He will be studied by uni lit students in the future. We have lost a Horseman but have gained a gift for all time, a gift of reason and logic with massive zeal. Glad to have shared the planet with such a man.
It's a shame he was distracted by Religion and its hell fire lies, apparently he never looked into the reality of eternal consciousness. Not a problem because he certainly knows it now. I would have loved to see the look of pleasant surprise when he realised that we don't die. NO hell no punishment, just a reality much more pleasant than the bullshit of this Earth. He will be missed.
I am circumcised, and I hate it. I hate the way it looks and it feels very tight and painful when I masturbate. It may not have caused any of you pro-circumcision activists any problems, but it has definitely caused me problems. Just because something works for you, it does not mean it works for everyone. I am living evidence that circumcision can cause people problems.
@sabby123456789 It has caused all circumcised men problems as its a factual loss of sensitivity that is bound to have an effect on sexual actions with the partner as they make up for the lost sensitivity thats meant to be there. But they cant know what they lost, which is sad. Same problem for me as a circumsized person.
@waltermh111 I am "partially" circumcised, which means I have more skin left over than the averaged circumcised male. This would make restoration much more easier. Nevertheless, this procedure needs to be banned unless the person is an adult. Even some adults regret getting circumcised themselves. Circumcision isn't like vaccinating or getting braces for your children because those are not removing some part of your body for non-emergency reasons. There is a huge difference.
while all parts of penis do have some sensitivity (pressure, temperature), the foreskin is the only part that is significantly sensitive to fine touch.
The argument about hygiene doesnt work, because for all civilized uncircumcised men it is part of the daily personal hygiene routine to pull it back and clean the whole surface.
Long live Christopher Hitchens, in our hearts and in our minds and hopefully in the minds of millions more for many years to come. A guiding light and an inspiration to minds everywhere. Cheers to you Christopher. You will be sorely missed.
I Hitchens had the chance to live 20 more years he would have done even more good for humanity, still, he did more than anyone could ever hope for, but I'm sure the religious community now feels their nemesis is not around to shut them up anymore, WRONG, they fail to realize that his work lives on, and all of us who learned from him are now the nemesis of religious ignorance, and so will be those after us, until one day, hopefully, reason wins.
@ateopuertorico Oh yes, we are learning a lot from Hitch. The promoters of woo and superstition will not have a night of rest; Hitchens lives on in thousands of us.
I assume serious reasons that had him so vehemently speak out against superstition [that leads to violation of human rights] AND burning his own candle of live from TWO ENDS.
1 person is probably William Lane Craig in disguise or one of the many other twats the Hitch publicly humiliated during his life. Good bye, Hitch. You'll be missed.
I knew this was coming but of course I am sad nonetheless. I never saw him in person but while he was alive I spent many hours thoroughly enjoying his speeches and debates on Youtube.
In an interview Hitchens remarked at how Youtube had affected his popularity by a large amount, causing people to recognize him in person much more. I'm one of those people, and his work here on Youtube has meant quite a lot to me, though not as much as Hitchens himself. I will miss him.
I mourn the loss of Christopher Hitchens. Mr Hitchens was an important intellectual, perhaps one of the greatest of our time. What terrifies me is that so few know of Hitchens and his work. His wisdom needs to be embraced by humanity, all of us, before it's too late
@HellRehab BYE BYE HITCHENS!!! YOU WILL NOT BE MISSED!!! WHAT YOU'RE GOING THRU RIGHT NOW AND FOR ETERNITY MUST SUCK BUT YOU MADE YOUR BED NOW DIE IN IT!!! Satan now has a new puppet to molest, lol.
@SeraphimSword I guess you proved Christopher's point. Who, without religion, would make fun of the idea of someone being tortured for eternity? Non-stop pain forever being something humorous? And this eternal pain given to someone who spent his life trying to stop violence against the innocent? I, for one, don't know any non-religious person whose brain is so twisted, but I've heard these things from many religious people like you.
@HellRehab "Hitchens existed 62 years more than God did" LOL! Wonder what he has to say about that? Oh well I guess he has already spoken... 85 atheists are going the to the same place Hitchens is right now... Yeah lets vote for that one, jerkoffs! The world is laughing at you.
@HellRehab Breaking news, you're a dipshit for calling that to attention... The same thing happened with "Mien Kiemph" written by Hitler... Thanks for pointing that out loser.
you're just a primitive muslim and make us laugh with your fanatical bullying. you're such a cliche. it's actually an honor to be insulted by you. it confirms our disgust. we recognize an enemy when we meet one. you're not a threat to us. you haven't even thrown the jews out of palestine. and how hardly you've tried. you're weak and you stand on your own way. and by the way, it's: "Mein Kampf". at least you can type.. a bit. for a muslim, you must be pretty erudite.. i guess..
Christopher Hitchens and Carl Sagan dead, Stephan Hawking unable to speak, even Richard Dawkins has seen better days, atheism is running out of its champions an d I wonder if we have someone to replace the unending wit and criticism of Hitchens. We don't have another person able to so thoroughly destroy an opponent that you forget the name of the person he is debating, we need another Hitchens to lead the unending march of secularism, but to the beloved champion we have lost, we can only say RIP

I hope all progressive jews and rabbis who go against circumcision spread more and more their voice and this barbarious practice be kept only by grown up people who willingly decide to undergo it,not force it on babies and children (or on anyone unwilling to do it,either).

Babies SCREAM when circumcised. It is torture on the baby.
Circumcision is a violation of the human right to an intact body. Amputating normal body parts, such as the male foreskin or female clitoral hood / labia, is genital mutilation. Genital cutting of unconsenting minors must come to a quick and complete end, worldwide.

@Chadolution, I find it ironic that the thoroughly religious often say they are pro-life when they have no problems mutilating live babies and executing people wholesale. From Christianity to Islam to global tribalism. It's ridiculous.

A true giant of a man. An intellect that will be remembered for all time, a literary wordplay genius, a debating monster. He will be studied by uni lit students in the future. We have lost a Horseman but have gained a gift for all time, a gift of reason and logic with massive zeal. Glad to have shared the planet with such a man.

It's a shame he was distracted by Religion and its hell fire lies, apparently he never looked into the reality of eternal consciousness. Not a problem because he certainly knows it now. I would have loved to see the look of pleasant surprise when he realised that we don't die. NO hell no punishment, just a reality much more pleasant than the bullshit of this Earth. He will be missed.

I am circumcised, and I hate it. I hate the way it looks and it feels very tight and painful when I masturbate. It may not have caused any of you pro-circumcision activists any problems, but it has definitely caused me problems. Just because something works for you, it does not mean it works for everyone. I am living evidence that circumcision can cause people problems.
sabby123456789 2 months ago 6
@sabby123456789 It has caused all circumcised men problems as its a factual loss of sensitivity that is bound to have an effect on sexual actions with the partner as they make up for the lost sensitivity thats meant to be there. But they cant know what they lost, which is sad. Same problem for me as a circumsized person.
waltermh111 2 months ago
@waltermh111 I am "partially" circumcised, which means I have more skin left over than the averaged circumcised male. This would make restoration much more easier. Nevertheless, this procedure needs to be banned unless the person is an adult. Even some adults regret getting circumcised themselves. Circumcision isn't like vaccinating or getting braces for your children because those are not removing some part of your body for non-emergency reasons. There is a huge difference.

while all parts of penis do have some sensitivity (pressure, temperature), the foreskin is the only part that is significantly sensitive to fine touch.
The argument about hygiene doesnt work, because for all civilized uncircumcised men it is part of the daily personal hygiene routine to pull it back and clean the whole surface.
Genital mutilation is the appropriate term.

I Hitchens had the chance to live 20 more years he would have done even more good for humanity, still, he did more than anyone could ever hope for, but I'm sure the religious community now feels their nemesis is not around to shut them up anymore, WRONG, they fail to realize that his work lives on, and all of us who learned from him are now the nemesis of religious ignorance, and so will be those after us, until one day, hopefully, reason wins.

I knew this was coming but of course I am sad nonetheless. I never saw him in person but while he was alive I spent many hours thoroughly enjoying his speeches and debates on Youtube.
In an interview Hitchens remarked at how Youtube had affected his popularity by a large amount, causing people to recognize him in person much more. I'm one of those people, and his work here on Youtube has meant quite a lot to me, though not as much as Hitchens himself. I will miss him.

And this eternal pain given to someone who spent his life trying to stop violence against the innocent? I, for one, don't know any non-religious person whose brain is so twisted, but I've heard these things from many religious people like you.
