Carla, I agree. It is unfortunate that circuncision is still widely done in America by those who financially profit from the mutilation, but in my country it is very rare indeed for a baby to be circumcised.

I too have read about the psychological damage of spanking children and how it can cause primitive arousal which afterwards associates sexual pleasure with spanking and can lead someone into that kind of sexual activity.

Russ, I believe you are very knowledgeable on the mercury issue, but we will have to part opinions on this issue, and I'm sorry that someone who is so enlightened on the amalgam issue can advance an ancient mutilation ritual that has no significance whatsoever in the life of a Christian.
