Should churches apologize for Christians bringing circumcision to the masses in America during the victorian era for the purpose of deturing masturbation?

Should they also apologize to the man in this video?

I'm no celebrity worshipper at all, but I remember seeing commercials for his "Transporter" films and thinking, "Wow, that is one smoldering and athletic man." Today, my issue of "Men's Health" arrived with him on the cover, and now I'm rather fixated.

It seems to me that he may be one of the most potently masculine men to ever work in Hollywood. That steely gaze, the unshaved face, the strong jaw line -- oy, the man just simmers and smolders.

What do you think?

For years I've thought it odd that homosexual men are called "gay" but homosexual women are called "Lesbian" [complete with a capital letter].

Since "Lesbians" derives from the Isle of Lesbos, which is considered the cradle of female homosexuality, I think that men should call themselves "Grecians" as a derivation of Greece -- most decidedly the cradle of male homosexuality.

What say you?

I was raised a Catholic and was forced to go to church every week and to Sunday school. I made sure to pray every night, not out of any specific spiritual feelings, but because I was afraid that if I didn't I'd go to hell. I started having doubts when I was 15, and in the last 5 years I've decided I am not a Catholic. I'm just open-minded at this point, looking to learn, and trying to be a good person with no urgent need of a religion.

Has anyone else thought about how many people are a member of a religion because that's the religion their parents are? I wonder how many people that say they are religious say so because they are afraid to say otherwise. I wonder how many of those believers have serious doubts. I attended Christmas mass yesterday with my family (to avoid upsetting them), and noticed a lack of passion. If I was a true believer in something as profound as the story of Christianity I'd be a little more excited about it. No offense to believers.

Any similar feelings?

This is a serious question. Serious answers only. There is this girl at school. She's sweet and all and comes up to me and my friends like she's one of us. The problem is she's ugly and I mean beyond Proactive ugly. We haven't been rude to her but we don't encourage her. And it's not just her looks. She's one of those DDR losers. I've prayed that she will leave me alone too. I'm not being mean but she needs to accept how the world works. How can me and my friends let her know without being mean and hurt her feelings?

I have CP ok.

As I get older, I find it harder to control my emotions than before. Because I see people laugh and point, or stare, or ignore me and talk to the person I'm with, or speak loud and slow as if I don't understand, or even treat me differently in the health care setting (slow with services, ignoring my needs, etc.).

This makes it really hard to go out and get what i need without an incident of prejudice from another person. It took 5 doctors to find one that really respected me and didn't blow me off! And many so called friends take me for granted or try to use me (like guys thinking they can get laid if they flatter me, yeah right!).

i get so angry about this, very upset and frustrated. my therapist just bats her eyes and looks at me in pity. I don't need this but i'm afraid of lashing out at someone and beating them with my cane if another person is rude.

HELP! How do I deal!?!? I'm really at the breaking point because even educated ppl seem to be really ignorant!!!!!

Someone please explain to me the contradictions in both books to do with Jesus' parentage. Joseph's father was not David but Jacob. Joseph and Mary were not married at the time of Caesar's census, they were PLEDGED to be married. Says so in Luke 2. So two people slept their way to Nazareth who were not married yet....

why couldn't God have chosen a married woman? Why pick on such a young girl to carry such a lifelong burden?

play with an Ouija board, or any of those things that you were told would lead you to certain death and damnation?

Turns out, none of that stuff works. Does religious fanaticism depend on cowardice and lack of intellectual curiosity to survive?

If you don't obey the ten commandments and you don't use the moral christian values, how do you decide what is right or what isn't right? I'm sorry if this question was already asked I couldn't find it and was really wondering. Oh and this isn't any attempt to convert anyone, I was just sincerely interested.

All you do is refute the existence of an all poweful being as a creator....everything you use to reject a God can be easily found on search engines......''why god does not exist?'

Seriously why do you think your smarter than religious people?
In what aspect? When I hear Atheists talk about their intelligence, I always think that is like me saying to some randomer ''I know more about football than you...I am smarter'

Oh and another thing...religious people are 'weak-minded'....so what about Religious people in communist Russia? Were they 'weak-minded'?

I honor and worship Him as I do the Father because He is God but I think they are one and yet still separate entities because in Genesis 6 God says, "Let us make man in our image."

According to what I read on a website, people who speak in tongues are the only true Christians, and the only people who will be saved.

Is this true?

Is there only one true faith?

Is there only one way to get to Heaven?

Can anyone have a monopoly on faith?

If we do this, then Isn't this, as they say, putting God in a box?

How many of you are aware that many times in the last 2000 years groups of Christians have decided they were going to be beamed up in some sort of rapture? No Bible verses please, just a "yes, I have read or am aware of this history, no I have not read this. Thanks
