If you stop competing you could understand better. Scots wasn't trying to "prove" anything, he was giving you examples of how the religion that you say is the wellspring of all morality differs a great deal from one culture to another. If all morality comes to us from a single God by way of religion, then we should all espouse the same moral standards--yet we don't. The examples he gave were to make that point, different religious traditions have different moral standards--who's right? How can you prove that it's you?
Female circumcision is not getting the fallopian tubes tied, that is a method of preventing the eggs from traveling down into the uterus and thus preventing pregnancy.
Female genital mutilation is a surgical process which damages the clitoris and prevents sexual pleasure (it's way more complicated than that, but it's such a nasty, cruel, stupid thing to do that if you want the bloody details--like no anethesia for the operation--then you can research it on the net yourself. The vagina is also often sewed up leaving only a tiny opening the diameter of a wooden matchstick for menstrual blood flow and because when the husband next penetrates his wife it will be much like copulating with a virgin whose hymen is intact--very painful and potentially bloody for the woman. This process is another one of the things that has been supposedly commanded by God. Again, Arbit, Scots was making the point that religious morality covers a very wide range of activities.
Even a casual reading of history will show that many people have lead exemplary lives without resorting to religion. The fact that you cannot imagine this would seem to indicate that you are one of the many people--like my brothers admit they are--who has no internal compass that directs their actions. Some people have it, some don't. Please don't get offended here, it's not like this is something derogatory, it's simply a difference between people--in much the same way that some people are loners and some people like groups. It's just another way of being in the world.
