What's an "unexamined" faith?
One example, I would think, is people who, as adults, have the attitude of "Yeah, I'm [insert religion here], because that's how I was raised, damn it!"
(Which is NOT to say that the religion one is raised in is either bad or good; I mean people who call themselves "Catholic," for instance, b/c they were raised Catholic, versus sitting down and looking at the tenets of that particular faith and deciding if that's something they believe/agree with/can support.)
Maybe I've been spending too much time here... I just read a SciFi Channel ad for their premier of The Forsaken, and I read it as The Foreskin.

Oh, that's what I thought; I was just wondering if there was some more specific meaning to it.
you only get to experience one way or the other
Didn't someone cite a kid who was circumcised as a pre-teen and thought wanking was more fun before?
I don't really have anything to add to the circumsion thing.
Hurricane Dennis did some damage to the coastal towns near here,mostly from storm surgers. One town has been mostly underwater, there was severe flooding elsewhere.
Our place at the beach is fine, except some windows might have been left open. I had a relative stay down at his place during the storm and he reported on the damage. Lots of decks and the one dock were washed away from the high water. I'm not sure how far up the water got from the beach but it probably got close to the record high water mark.
Basically, yeah. It's simply accepting the dogma and tenets of whatever religion you are, without question.
I'm not criticizing having an unexamined faith, just to be clear. It's obviously the right answer for a great many people. It's when I'm told that by examining my own faith and trying to define my moral values myself, rather than letting someone else dictate them, I'm a sinner or whatever...yeah, that's when I get cranky. (See also the Creationism vs. Evolution stuff).
Of course, I'm also not a big fan of those who believe that we are primarily mental beings and, that our mental powers are our sole value.
Small sample size v. total male population? Matter of personal taste?
Guys who use escort services not necessarily representative of the male population as a whole?

From the people who brought you MANSQUITO...
Oy. I need an ass kicking. I only have one paragraph of my second paper written. It's too much fun hanging out here instead!
