If we’re serious about ending infant genital mutilation, we need to talk about Christianity; not just politely, but directly.

Because the truth is this: Christianity is not neutral on circumcision. It enables it. And worse, it glorifies the suffering of male bodies in a way that makes infant cutting seem not only acceptable, but holy.

⸻

1. Christianity Glorifies Suffering; Especially Male Suffering.

At the core of Christian theology is the idea that suffering is redemptive.

Jesus’s torture and death are held up as the ultimate good; the ultimate proof of love, sacrifice, and obedience. For men especially, this has had a brutal trickle-down effect:

Pain becomes noble. Endurance becomes godliness. Questioning suffering becomes weakness.

That cultural mindset doesn’t stop at adult men. It filters down to boys and eventually, to babies.

When pain is glorified, inflicting pain becomes a moral act.

When male suffering is normalized, cutting a baby boy becomes something that doesn’t even register as cruel.

2. Christianity Treats Babies as Sinful

According to most Christian doctrine, even infants are born with original sin.

They’re not innocent, they’re guilty by default.

This belief opens the door to all kinds of subconscious cruelty. If a baby is already “fallen,” already spiritually broken, then harshness feels justified, even sanctified.

Especially for male babies. After all, they’re the ones who carry on the sinful bloodline. They’re the ones who must be “marked” for God.

So when a newborn is strapped down and has part of his genitals amputated, there’s no outrage. Just silence or worse, a sense of moral satisfaction.

3. Christianity Has a Ritual Legacy of Circumcision

Even though Christian theology technically rejects Old Testament law, circumcision still lingers. The Gospel of Luke includes the “Feast of the Circumcision,” celebrating the day baby Jesus was cut.

Let’s pause on that.

There is a holiday that honors a baby’s genital wounding.

And most Christians don’t even think twice about it.

That’s how deeply normalized it is.

Even if modern Christianity doesn’t mandate circumcision, it doesn’t oppose it either.

There is no prophetic voice from the church crying out against this injustice. No Christian movement demanding justice for the boys who were cut against their will.

There is no moral clarity. Only apathy.

4. Christianity Offers No Justice for the Victims

If Christianity truly stood for protecting the innocent, for healing the wounded, for opposing harm; then Christian leaders would be at the forefront of intactivism.

They’re not.

You’ll find more Christian silence or even Christian defense of cutting than you will Christian outrage.

And that silence is complicity.

If your religion can’t speak out against the unnecessary mutilation of babies, what good is it?

⸻

Final Word: Faith Should Never Justify Harm.

This isn’t an attack on personal belief.

It’s a call for moral consistency.

If you believe in protecting children, you can’t defend a religion that normalizes their wounding.

If you believe in human rights, you can’t stay aligned with a doctrine that teaches male pain is divine.

If you’re an intactivist, it’s time to stop giving Christianity a pass.

Denounce the parts of it that enable harm. Or stop pretending you stand for justice.
