What is The Atheist Experience?

The Atheist Experience is a weekly cable access television show in Austin, Texas geared at an atheist and non-atheist audience. The Atheist Experience is produced by the Atheist Community of Austin (ACA), a nonprofit educational corporation to develop and support the atheist community, to provide opportunities for socializing and friendship, to promote secular viewpoints, to encourage positive atheist culture, to defend the first amendment principle of state-church separation, to oppose discrimination against atheists and to work with other organizations in pursuit of common goals.

How's this a religious/atheist argument?

- "How's this a religious/atheist argument?"

Circumcision is a religious practice that come straight out of the Bronze Age.

What song is playing at the intro?

@JoltZero "What song is playing at the intro?"

Where have you been lately? It's the theme from "Dr. Who," a series that has been around since 1963. Trivia: One of the characters in the 1979 series was played by Lalla Ward, the wife of Richard Dawkins.

just cause some guy called in and claims to have a doctor friend doesn't mean its fact.

@endofscene women in the states are for a lack of a better word "trained" to dislike a complete penis, its just how society works, thats one important reason of why parents circumcise their babies, so they can fit in when they grow up, I honestly think that the fact that girls prefer mutilated penises is gross, but there is no one to blame, I dont like circumsised penises cause I grew up in a place where that just doesent happen. so please dont just blame it on the girls

good day =]

@TheAtheistExperience

Actually it pre-dates Abrahamic religions. The Ancient Egyptians practiced and most likely they weren't the first either. Also yes I agree these days many do it for religious reasons. However the caller wasn't raising it as a religious matter.

My stance on circumcision, I'm not pro, or against. There are cases in which it's might have merit.

My point was it was kind of outside of what I usually expect to find on the show.

Meissner's corpuscles... 20000 of them... lost to ignorance. FUCK YOU HUMANITY!!

[hellcielo]

i have full uncircumcised penis

[inputverifier]

I fully agree that it's become very status quo.... "uncircumcised looks icky!!!"

Well, I guess you won't want to go to bed with me then -- because my parents respected my rights as a child... I keep my penis clean, and I have greater sensitivity as a result of that PROTECTIVE skin, so there :P

It's a LOT to do with... "I am circumcised, you should be too"

The origins of it though, yes, religious.

They ridicule just because you are different... with undertones of superstition.

Those African studies have now been thoroughly debunked. Recently, studies have been done that showed that the foreskin has what is essentially a virus-killer cell called a Langerhans cell that traps and kills viruses like HIV.

There's definitely a pro-circumcision agenda. The fact is, a lot of these doctors who did these studies and who are pushing these studies are either circumfetishists or Jews who are afraid that America is the last secular support for the practice of Brit Milah.
