Hitch on MGM

Another strange overlap of agreement:
"As to immoral practice, it is hard to imagine anything more grotesque than the mutilation of infant genitalia. Nor is it easy to imagine anything more incompatible with the argument from design. We must assume that a designer god would pay especial attention to the reproductive organs of his creatures, which are so essential for the continuation of the species. But religious ritual since the dawn of time has insisted on snatching children from the cradle and taking stones or knives to their pudenda."
It's from "God Is Not Great." He goes on about mutilating willies for a few pages, my reader tells me. Barbarism is the right word for it.
