I was very much thinking of the statement you made about the god circuits being tied into the same circuits which allow us to feel sexual pleasure when I penned the posts I made earlier tonight against circumcision. When writing this post in particular http://www.livejournal.com/users/alobar/789653.html, I was very much thinking of what you said. I ended my post with a quote from http://montagunocircpetition.org/index.php?pcf=genitalpain which states:
This fundamentalist/orthodox morality of Western Civilization requires that the sensual/sexual pleasures of the body must be extremely limited if not destroyed to achieve "salvation of the soul" (re, the "virtues" of celibacy, virginity and chastity). What better place to begin than with the mutilation and destruction of the genitals which are designed to experience
which comes directly back to my thoughts that religions based in celibacy, virginity, chastity, and genital mutilation are inherantly antithetical to the god circuits.
