What is the real reason the Jewish people adopted the practice of circumcision of male baies? Was it to prevent the boys from obtaining easy sexual gratificatin in accordance with old biblical laws?-- 31.55.123.188 ( talk) 00:03, 21 April 2014 (UTC)

I'm trying to find a short story I read a long time ago. The details in my mind are really hazy, but as best as I can remember it's about two boys who spend their time shoplifting and spraying graffiti. By the end of the story the boy who is the main character sort of "sees the light" and starts taking an interest in learning. The story starts out with the two boys going out to spray graffiti (the name the other boy signs is "weezul"), then there's a flashback to where they were both in a store shoplifting, and the narrator recalls the other boy telling him "don't look at him" (the store owner) before they went in. In the last scene the boy is reciting all these things he's read about to his teacher just out of eagerness to share them with someone else. Those are the only details I remember. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 41.254.5.219 ( talk) 09:13, 21 April 2014 (UTC)
You sometimes here in news after some police raids, that reasonable amount of money as result from illegal business has been confiscated. My question is, where does the police send the money then after investigations were concluded? I always wondered. 112.198.79.233 ( talk) 15:03, 21 April 2014 (UTC)
Thanks to the transparency of the Bitcoin block chain, you can actually see what happens to the FBI Bit-seizure of coin from Silk Road accounts. [1] JustAnotherUploader ( talk) 23:01, 22 April 2014 (UTC)
The FBI said loosely, 'we've nothing against Bitcoins generally; we're just seizing them because they're criminal proceeds from the Silk Road the same way we'd seize cars, freeze bank accounts and so on.' Leicester Police, UK just flog them on ebay [2] - so would a lot of people. You have something you don't need, you know it's worth something, but don't know how much. Ebay, auction only no reserve. Some police services donate to charity [3], but the biggest laughing stock is the Jewish chief priests in the Bible, Matthew 27:7. They made trumped up charges of blasphemy/incitement to tax evasion/treason against Jesus and bribed Judas Iscariot '30 pieces of silver' (approximately a slave's price) to identify who to arrest. Afterwards, Judas was apologetic and tried to hand back the bribe. In v4, they told him that was his own problem. After he threw the coins into the Temple (?) and took his own life, the priests then decided that although it was OK to bribe, where it had already been meant it couldn't go back into the Temple's account. Astonishing. -- 81.145.165.2 ( talk) 11:17, 24 April 2014 (UTC)

Martin Luther made a distinction between the Law and Gospel, when discussing the Old and New Testaments. Was there such a concept in the Roman Catholic Church at that time? What was the Roman Catholic opinion of the Old and New Testaments? 140.254.227.103 ( talk) 17:35, 21 April 2014 (UTC)
I am looking for the correct wording (along with the title and author) of an old poem that goes something like-- Out of the moon and the stars and the flowers out of the....... out of the..... came mothers, the live giving(or God given?)thing — Preceding unsigned comment added by 2601:8:9200:520:C43D:F00B:1278:65E4 ( talk) 23:16, 21 April 2014 (UTC)
