No we are not cruel! We do not beat our children nor to we circumcise them as babies. What good does that do?The child understands nothing.To me circumcision was a test of my manhood. It was my choice, like receiving the whip.I wear my circumcision scar with pride and my whipping is a badge of honour.I beleive in circumcision. I beleive in the whip.But it is a choice we must make as we grow into manhood.
