I have a friend that I went to school with. A little while abck he went through a religious crisis and since I am the only non-religious affiliated person (
) that he knows he came to me. We have talked about everything and slowly he has come to figure out his beliefs. A lot of his problems were with his church's views on sex/masterbation/seuality etc.
Last night he popped up to talk (on messenger). I had to run to the store and get some things so I said so and ran out the door. On my way to the store (it's on the corner) I was overwhelmed with the urge to talk to him about circumcision. It had come up once before a long time ago and it was such a short passing that I can't remember what was said. So when I got back I brought up the subject and was surprised.
He's angry with his parents for doing it to him. He should have had a say. He says it's the same as FGM...you wouldn't do it to a girl, why a boy?.
So I sent him a link and we talked about restoration. He's interested in it now and would like me to send him some links (he was on his way to bed) on it!
I wouldn't normally bring that up but I'm glad I did. He's considering restoration AND he's not going to circ any of his sons!
I don't normally post here since I have a DD but I thought it was cool. I guess you'll never know unless you say something.
I just wanted to share.

It's alway better to say something... if I don't say something then I always wonder if I could have made a difference
