Answers:
All boys are born intact. In fact circumcision is an outdated torture that should be abolished. It does nothing to help the function of the penis and actually loses some of the nerves in the penis. I am intact and love it and I have had no complaints From anybody I have been with. The main thing is to teach the young boys how to keep their penis clean and they will have no hygiene problems and better sex because of the extra nerve tissue
The biggest supporter are already cut,mutilated,have part of their penis thrown away so of course they support it or otherwise their parents would be wrong for having them cut. I am an older man and have never had an infection,premature ejaculation STD or any of the other things people say WILL happen so do not cut your little boy because society says it is normal. In 20 yrs the norm will be intact boys and everyone who is cut will be different

Other Answers:
I believe so. I can't remember exactly where in the Bible it said to present born males cleaned, (circumcised) before God;but I feel that is where people have taken a lot of the procedure from. Having given birth to two sons, if you teach them basic hygiene to take care of themselves, and they have no problem of retraction of the foreskin, then what is all the hype of an unnecessary procedure? And the points you listed, I have found not to be true.

Don't you just have a tub to thump.
"It will please God" is the only reason that some people need to justify anything. You ain't going to change their mind.

All are true except for it preventing masturbation. Why would you think it did that?
