You will never win an argument for no other reason than that you have an autistic brother. You shouldn't even mention it.
I'm getting tired of explaining to you that an ad hominem is not always a bad thing. It can be perfectly logical and necessary in many cases.
You have no point. People all over the place do things that are not healthful. They smoke their lungs out. They eat till they burst. They engage in disease transmitting activities. Parents generally do have control over their children's health and safety. Sometimes parents do things that you might not agree should be done. Most parents, especially religious parents, make decisions that their children later approve very much. Very few parent do things that should not be done, and when they do it is not because of religion as has been thoroughly established here. I admire your efforts to persuade people to stop doing harmful things to their children, but you are obviously not going to be effective. Your superficial understanding of science, religion, society, and law is no help whatever. You might rather enjoy fishing. Do you live near well stocked waters?
A fallacy, by the way such as an ad hominem is, cannot be logical - while insults instead of proper argument are never necessary, except of course for those who have nothing else to contribute. Just saying.
If by "intellectually inferiority of your friends" you again refer to my mentally handicapped brother then I feel sorry for you. No one else on this or the old board has been so deliberately crass, over and over or made the insults so personal, even when politely asked to stop.
I'm sorry I'm not a doctor, but I'm quite certain you aren't either. I suspect, but really do not know, that female genital mutilation is not entirely reversible and not as easily reversed as circumcision is. Do you deny that? What then is your point about "similarities"? Or since you are no doctor, never mind.
You can whine till you turn blue, it will do you no good. I'm not going to tell you that you are doing well when you obviously are not. I'm kind that way. I'm not changing. You have no business representing anyone else but yourself. You do not speak for atheists, not all of them anyway. You do not speak for scientists, especially not doctors. You do not speak for theologians. If I catch you pretending that you do I will point it out. Just get over it, or don't. You stop.
