There's books and websites devoted to everything.

Usually because there is a demand for what is being provided. In this case Information.

Again, this means nothing in light of what Christianity clearly states.

But it ultimately means a lot given that Christianity doesn’t “clearly” state ANYTHING! Christianity is a broad collection of varied beliefs, with different doctrines, tenets, and practices worldwide, based on different interpretations of both the bible and traditions of the church. If “Christianity” was clear on anything, it’s that IT doesn’t actually say anything; but rather people’s interpretation of it does.

There is confusion only when people willfully choose to ignore that which is stated and go their own way.

Which is what EVERY Christian does (including you). More to the point, this is essentially you admitting that Christians have been confused on this issue. Why they end up being confused is irrelevant!

My point regarding the commonality of circumcision is that, due to more conversation surrounding it, there is more choice rather than an assumption circumcision is best.

As I’ve already pointed out, I’m well aware of these facts. I just don’t know why you think it’s relevant in this discussion (as nobody has suggested otherwise).

This is brought out by the continual and substantial decline of it's use ( The poorer states also have fewer circumcisions since, again, it's a money maker and if you have no money or insurance, you ain't getting one).

Well, that’s only ONE of the reasons. The fact is, the bigger reason for its decline is that parents are simply more educated about it today than they were in the past. There is more more readily available information regarding it thanks to the internet than there was in the 70s-80s. Like the fact that it’s largely an American custom not practiced as rotine in most parts of the developed world. People can also do things like actually watch a circumcision being done beforehand, something which wasn’t an option in the past for most people.

I have never heard a case where a Christian has specifically chosen circumcision for their kid on the basis of Jesus, but there's a religious everything.

See to me THIS is the statement that doesn’t mean anything. The assumption that because YOU haven’t heard of it that it’s uncommon is another example of the kind of thing that often makes you seem really stupid.

There's likely a Christians against circumcisions too.

No shit Sherlock; I just posted links to them. Keep up!
