there is no real reason for this or evidence to support circumcision, Other than the doctor making some money and religious believe. to me is just another form genital mutilation

Some religions, like Jewish people, believe in it for religious purposes. Now, it's mostly been done the past 30 year in the believe that it was better for the boy and cleaner, but that belief has since been turned around. Now many sons born are not being circumcised, because it is now the belief it is not necessary.

Maybe it has something to do with having fried their brains on drugs. Or maybe they are pervs who get a thrill out of serious pain. I can't imagine why any normal man would do such a disgusting thing unless there was a serious medical problem that could not be resolved any other way.

Well, I know from personal experience that one reason is to help desensitize the penile head so they can "last longer" when having sex.
Beyond that, other reasons I have heard are recurrent infections, constricting foreskin, and simply for the cosmetic appearance.
