Cruel Culture and Religion

"if only one person in the world held down a terrified struggling, screaminglittle girl, cut off her genitals with a septic blade, and swed her back up,leaving only a tiny hole for urine and menstrual flow, the only question wouldbe whether the death penalty would be a sufficiently severe sanction.
But when millions of people do this, instead of enormity being magnifiedmillions-fold, suddenly it beomes "culture", and thereby magically becoes less,rather than more horrible."- Donal Symons
