How can someone be born a religion? Please explain.

It was extremely common in the United States and to a lesser degree in other English speaking countries for the reason I explained. As I also mentioned that the circumcision that took place in the US were done ostensibly for reasons of health as a result of the anti masturbation fad that swept British medical circles during the Victorian era, revulsion that finds its roots in religion. Perhaps you should have a look at the following site,
"The Rise and Fall of Circumcision in New Zealand" "http://www.circumstitions.co...
If nothing else it makes interesting reading. note how the whole insane practice was originally begun by a religiously based attitude. Perhaps you should
Check into this so that you can see the reasoning behind what was done to you as a result of religion. Circumcision finds its basis in religion; it is as simple as that. There is no legitimate medical or health related reasoning in the practice. Even female genital mutilation finds the roots of its reason in the religious importance of virginity. I see religion a tool that spreads intolerance and cruelty, A wolf in sheep’s clothing that harnesses the worst in people while speaking of love and peace. That isn’t to say however that I see all people that are religious as evil. I have a lot of friends and acquaintances that have a religious affiliation of one sort or another and are basically good people so far as I can tell. They are just deluded and conditioned by the environment they were reared in.

As a matter of fact I have seen quite a few. But that hardly matters it does not change the fact that Mutilation or maiming is an act of physical injury that degrades the appearance or function of any living body; sometimes causing death can you describe it as anything else. It involves the removal of a healthy, functioning part of the body. Some ethnic groups practice ritual mutilation, e.g. scarification, burning, flagellation, tattooing, circumcision or as part of a rite of passage. In some cases, the term may apply to treatment of dead bodies, such as soldiers mutilated after they have been killed by an enemy. I must admit though that I had never seen one until I was about 10 years old. Being from a Continental European background we tend to look at this practice as mutilation. My family immigrated to Australia from the Netherlands. I have looked into the circumcision question fairly rigorously and inside from religion no one has yet come up with a reason for doing it that can be considered honest reasoning never the if a person want to have a major part of their penis cut of that is fine with me but they should not do it when the person it is done to has no choice in the matter. As for my remarks concerning religion being a delusion I stand by it I know people and definitely one person that was born again so to speak and it was the best thing that could have happened to him It changed his life and his families life for the better and I wish him well. But he is still delusional if he thinks that the nonsense in the bible or any other holy fairytale gives a real answer. Yes it is full of tales that exemplify how a good person should behave, however it is also full of the tales that re responsible for the gore and terror that has always made the world a frightening place for so many people. I am not an Atheist I am an agnostic, atheists think they know what is correct I think I don’t know but I am pretty sure the answer does not exist in any of the religions. You are right I don’t know every religious person and I will take them as they come I will like and respect what I see as the positives in some and on the other hand I will dislike and avoid others we all judge whether we like it or not.
