Circumcision is pretty dangerous and useless operation. It is like getting your tonsils out.
Here are some examples of circumcisions gone wrong:
===================================================
Vomiting:
It was my sad task to publish a case report about a baby who experienced severe vomiting after being circumcised. Following the vomiting spell, the baby stopped breathing and had to be hospitalized for five days so that he could receive intravenous antibiotics. Needless to say, this never would have occurred had the baby been protected from circumcision.
Infants respond to the pain of circumcision by screaming, just as we would if someone slowly crushed and cut off part of our sex organs without anesthetic. When the crying is especially intense, the baby may swallow air. Then, when the mother tries to soothe her baby by feeding him, it may lead to vomiting, followed by apnea.
Apnea: (Stopped Breathing)
Apnea is the temporary cessation of breathing. The pain of circumcision is so severe that some babies stop breathing during the surgery. In an important study on the pain of circumcision published in The Journal of the American Medical Association, researchers discovered that serious complications occurred during circumcision. One infant experienced the same level of extreme distress as all the others in the study, but two and a half minutes after the conclusion of the surgery, the baby developed an abnormal posture, stopped breathing, and suffered projectile vomiting even though he had been denied food for more than three hours before the surgery. Another baby experienced a choking spell and stopped breathing three and a half minutes after the surgery.
The researchers noticed these serious complications because they were looking for them. One wonders how many babies suffer without anyone taking notice or caring, or even thinking there is anything wrong with projectile vomiting, choking, or cessation of breathing.
Rupture of Internal Organs:
Circumcision is so traumatic, painful, and frightening that it literally terrorizes the baby. Some babies have suffered extreme reactions to this experience that few adults could ever imagine possible.
Rupture of the Lung:
The medical literature details cases of circumcised babies whose lungs have burst as a result of intense crying. In one case, at Georgetown University School of Medicine, a fifteen-day-old baby with severe respiratory distress was circumcised. He turned blue, started breathing frantically, and cried incessantly. Finally, doctors discovered that the crying had caused the baby's right lung to burst. A drainage tube was inserted and the baby was hospitalized for nineteen days
Blood Clots in the Lung:
A case of life-threatening blood clots in the lung was reported following adult circumcision.
Heart Damage
The serious injury that circumcision can cause to other parts of the body is made clear in reports of babies whose hearts were damaged as a result of circumcision . In one case from Rochester, New York, a newborn baby was circumcised in the delivery room, even though the American Academy of Pediatricians has condemned this practice. The baby immediately turned blue, experienced grunting respirations, his temperature dropped to a dangerous level, and his heart muscle was damaged. This baby miraculously survived, but spent eleven days in the intensive care unit of the hospital.
In another published report, four babies who were hospitalized following circumcision turned blue, were lifeless, had elevated heartbeats, frantic breathing, grunting, and extremely poor
breathing. The liver was enlarged in three of the babies, and all babies showed signs of acute heart failure, enlarged heart, and fluid in the lungs. All four babies had been circumcised by the same circumciser, who had tried to controll the bleeding with epinephrine solution. The doctors who fought to save the lives of these babies believe that the drug may have induced the chain of events that nearly killed these babies.
Rupture of the Stomach:
In Richmond, Virginia, a healthy two-day-old baby was prepared for circumcision by denying him food for five hours. Terrified, the baby began crying hysterically as soon as the circumciser strapped him to the restraining board. After half an hour in this position, the baby vomited. Doctors pumped his stomach. The circumciser proceeded to amputate the baby's foreskin without anesthesia using a Gemco clamp. The baby cried vehemently throughout the ninety-minute ordeal. After the surgery, the baby refused to feed. His abdomen became distended and doctors discovered that his stomach had ruptured, requiring emergency abdominal surgery and the insertion of a feeding tube. After twenty-five days in the hospital, the baby was released. This baby had a perfectly normal stomach when he was born, but the trauma, excruciating pain of circumcision, and his prolonged crying caused his stomach to burst and spill its contents into the abdominal cavity." -What Your Doctor May Not Tell You About(TM): Circumcision: Untold Facts on America's Most Widely Perfomed-and Most Unnecessary-Surgery
"The doctors quickly realized that the babies who were not anesthetized were in so much pain that it would be unethical to continue with the study. Even the best commonly available method of pain relief studied, the dorsal penile nerve block, did not block all the babies' pain. Some of the babies in the study were in such pain that they began choking and one even had a seizure"
"In 1997, doctors in Canada did a study to see what type of anesthesia was most effective in relieving the pain of circumcision. As with any study, they needed a control group that received no anesthesia. The doctors quickly realized that the babies who were not anesthetized were in so much pain that it would be unethical to continue with the study. Even the best commonly available method of pain relief studied, the dorsal penile nerve block, did not block all the babies' pain. Some of the babies in the study were in such pain that they began choking and one even had a seizure (Lander 1997)."

Brittany Allen- I stood outside the building. And could still hear him cry. Poor dude."

 @owatson7648 In my case, I don’t drink ethanol since it burns my throat, such as in the case of whiskey, vodka. Wine and beer doesn’t taste good. If it is one of those drink called coolers, I think they contain 0.5% ethanol, those taste good.
I don’t understand how other people drink whiskey and such.
I don’t understand how they handle smoking.
Just pork on its own doesn’t taste as good. Same for beef. They require seasoning.
Bacon is very good.
Yes, I have heard that jeinsertwordws put in a lot of effort to wash a steak.
I’m pretty sure that these religions, and all religions are man made. The religious leader doesn’t have the talent to do scientific research, so the possibility of discovering refrigeration is out of reach for him. Humans access the lowest hanging fruits first on the apple tree. So, the easiest thing to do was to claim that the gods forbid it after he had a lot of stomach pain. Hundreds of years later, people worship such rules as being absolute perfect rules from a perfect god.

 @alexiaotoo2946 :
"there have been so many different religions and different Gods that have come up but with time a lot of these religions or Gods have fallen down and have been proven wrong"
==Not necessarily. For example, the king of the byzantine empire, Constantine, accepted christianity, he had told his soldiers that he saw a omen. (The byzantine empire is what followed the Roman empire once the Roman empire lost cohesion and fell. The byzantines were greeks.). Omen just means sign. He told his soldiers that he saw a cross in the sign and that it was the voice of Jesus that said go and conquer in my name. Since people were supersitious back then, they believe that the reason they won was because of that particular god.
The christians quickly took power. Constantine began giving funds to the christian priests. They would attack priests from greek religion, mythraism, etc. They would rob them of their churches and convert them to christian churches. They also murder anyone who would not convert to christianity.
^^^^^^^^^These are the types of stories that they won't tell you in sunday school. Yes, I have been to a christian school and I was a christian.
"but how come over 2,019 yrs the same God and the same religion is still going on meaning there is definitely something there"
==That's called an argument ad populum

In other words, you are saying X is true because a large number of people believe it.
Is something true just because it is popular? When the entire population has not seen any evidence and simply believes because their parents tell them to believe, is that a good system?
Wouldn't it be better to have actual evidence?
For one thing, hinduism is an older religion compared to judaism.
Also, christianity and islam are popular and have taken over the arab and european world because they have found the recipe for success: fear (Hell).
Coca-Cola has also found the recipe for success: glucose-fructose or sucrose.
"what about wind you can’t touch it or see it but you can feel it and know it’s there same with God and I hope that one day just one day u experiment going to a church just go and see if u experience anything if u don’t that’s fine but u never know till u try"
==Like I said a few lines above, I use to be a christian.
As for wind, everyone beleives that wind exists. You don't have to be told that it exists. Anyone with a sense of pressure can detect it. It can also be measured with instruments (meteorology). Wind isn't something undetectable or something that can't be experimented with.
All that wind is is a gas that moves around. Since gases and liquids are fluid, they can change shape and you can get convection.
The wind in your everyday experience is just air molecules moving around and the chemical composition of air is known: About 79% nitrogen, 19% oxygen, 0.98% argon, 0.04 CO2, etc.
Here you go if you want to see the full composition of air:
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Atmosphere_of_Earth
Also, the reason why you don't see air is because the photons that we see don't interact with it. They just pass straight through.
For other chemicals, such as NO2, Cl2, Br2, I2, visible light does interact with them.
I suggest that you study chemistry and physics.
