“Why do gays so want society to endorse their behavior?”
Evil always attacks good. That is its nature.
“There was wailing and gnashing of teeth (and quashing of the publicity) when studies showed that circumcision reduced the likelihood of transmission of HIV by more than half.”
Perhaps this is not the first AIDS epidemic.
Perhaps an earlier epidemic was the reason for the Old Testament requirement for circumcision, and the statement that it is an abomination for a man to lie with another man.
“to erase common-sense good hygiene”
I object to mutilation. If that requires more washing, so be it.
That is, of course, up to you.
Everything old is new...
Hi ZC,
The reason I started believing in God was my realization that materialist evolution just didn’t make any sense at all! And my journey brought me to the Catholic Church, where I have been for almost 20 years :)

The people on this Catholic site give very good reasons for Catholics not to even be theistic evolutionists :)
I sort of agree with yoh and I sort of don’t agree with you about the first 11 Chapters of Genesis. I think creating the universe and everything in it, no matter how He did it, is pretty miraculous. I lean towards creationism, esp since I keep discovering interesting things which fit creationsim better than evolutionism, but do believe that if God wanted to do it over a long period of time, that’s still a miracle!
You seem to have thought a lot about all this and have very interesting questions!
