It really is what makes our society fascinating.

We have a self conception as a highly rational and high tech society. When it comes to medicine we follow "the science".

Then as a default setting we cut the tip of baby boys penis off for no reason without thinking twice about it.

At the same time viewing the same procedure on a baby girl for the utter barbaric insanity that it is. Something completely unthinkable when living in a a highly rational and high tech society that follows "the science" like we do.

Society being controlled hugely by superstition and nonsense? We are way past those idiots that use to have witch hunts hundreds of years ago. All the experts say so and the experts follow "the science".
