I can look, it's hard to memorize a book thicker than a stack of 50 CDs. I don't honestly believe they're "pro mutilation," rather I think Jesus was saying you should be so put off by sin that you would rather do that to yourself than commit sin. There aren't a lot of one-eyed limping single handed Christians walking around. I think people might feel a lot better if they understood that committing a sin doesn't mean "bad!," it means "mistake." Sin comes from Satan's trickery, it's him pointing the finger and calling people on their crimes. Jesus was about forgiveness and washing away sin, not punishing people for it.
