I know that many Jewish boys are circumcised but why? Also some Muslims and Christians do this. What does it mean to their religious beliefs? I have read where some people compare it to female genitalia mutilation. What are your thoughts on the comparison?

My wife is a christian and she does go to church and she is raising our daughter baptist, they go to church ever Sunday. However, She committed adultery after 14 years and shows no remorse outwardly.. I'm hoping that she has some level of guilt going on.
She filed for divorce and I fought the divorce proceedings as long as I could because I promised God that till death do we part and I meant it. Biblically speaking and in the eyes of God. If I don't remarry. Can she be remarried. I'm not the one who committed adultery and even though she did I was willing to do what ever it took to keep the family in tacked.

Through my careful redin for Quran, I found many evidences that made me conclude that God created heaven mainly for men. Those evidences are:

1- From among (196) verses from Quran that promise heaven for people with good deeds, only (3) verses mentioned that heaven is for both men and women. The other (193) verses promised heaven for MEN who do good deeds.

2- There is a verse [56:22] that promises people who do good deeds with heaven that is full of virgins where they can have sex with those virgins as much as they like. From this verse, we can conclude that heaven is only for MEN (or may be lesbian women). Nothing like that was mentioned for women with good deeds.

3- There is a prophetical statement told by prophet Muhammed that tells that most people in hell will be women. Does this mean very few women will be in heaven?

I know this is a touchy subject, but do atheists have the same distain towards evil as they do towards God.

Are people more likely to believe in the Devil versus God, since evil seems to be much more prevelent and progressively mainstream?

American women are generally more reserved about shedding their tops at the beach...If you were to go to a beach that allowed topless women...would you take it off?
(And guys...we no you'd go topless so no need to tell me yes!)

..with his head leaned to one side trying to keep the phone between his shoulder and his ear and he keeps laughing and cutting bald spots in my son's head. My son comes home with bald spots all over that look like a large bird attacked him. I changed barbers but I notice that when I don't go with him this happens whereever he goes. What do you advise? I gave him a note to give the barber to tell him what I was going to do the next time he zucked out my child's head but he was too embarrassed to give it to him. I work and go to school and have younger kids to look after so sometimes I don't have the time to take him as my husband works long hours too. What would you do if this was your son?

Most christians believe in trinity, that is God=Jesus=Holy Spirit.
They are also firm in their believe that they worship God, which is Jesus, which is the Holy Spirit.
They are also firm in their believe that Jesus is God in human Form?

Now why are they praising Jesus as God, he was human and subjected to human needs. Are they infact then worshipping a man?
To Justify my question they say that before Jesus died all the sin of man was put on him.

Why are they worshipping God Directly and not through Jesus if Jesus=God=Holy spirit?
Should you infact only praise in the name of God?

This is more of a statement than a question. I saw and heard on the news about the two soldiers that were mutilated and murdered by Iraqis. It makes me mad because I feel it was unneccesary for us to be there. This all started with a lie from Bush about weapons of mass destruction when there was none. Why did'nt he use this type of force when Osama Bin Laden blew up the towers? Again, this is my opinion. Please give me yours.

and also I think its a real cop out when you can go to confession tell your sins to a priest, say a few words and you good to go again. I was brought up believing in one God and not any religion.
Even in Islam you pray 5 times a day and your good to go.

In the Bible, God told Abraham to sacrifice his son. Abe almost did it, raised the knife, but God said "Never mind. I was just testing you."

This morning God told me to sacrifice my cat. Should I do it? Maybe God is just testing me too?

I hear people say they are the basis for our laws. I just cannot see that. Have no other god before me? We have freedom of religion. Same with remember the sabbath day. We do not have to do those things in America. No useing gods name in vain, no making idols, Thats 4 that violate freedom of religion. Adultery in the biblical sense is also legal. Our economy would collapse without coveteting, Not all parents deserve Honorering, that leaves lie, murder and steal. 3 out of ten, means 7 out of ten are not enforceable. Not a good record for something that is supose to be a basis for our laws?
