RUSELL CROWE thinks circumcision is “barbaric and stupid”—which probably means he isn’t circumcised himself? Maybe. But why is Russell so strongly opposed to the Biblical mandate to cut off parts of a male’s most prized body part?

Russell shared his thoughts on Twitter last Thursday:

“Circumcision is barbaric and stupid. Who are you to correct nature? Is it real that God requires a donation of foreskin? Babies are perfect.”

He added:

“I love my Jewish friends, I love the apples and the honey and the funny little hats, but stop cutting your babies.”

Russel, who seems to feel particularly passionate about the topic, went on to say:

“I will always stand for the perfection of babies. I will always believe in God, not man’s interpretation of what God requires… Last of it, if you feel it is your right to cut things off your babies please unfollow and f**k off; I’ll take attentive parenting over barbarism.”

Of course such a pronouncement was bound to ruffle some feathers, especially since his little Twitter rant became a sudden hot topic on the latest Hollywood news and gossip, hence reaching more ears (or eyes) in addition to those of his followers. Since there are numerous people all over the world who follow the age-old tradition of circumcision, Russell then realized that he may have offended other people, so early Friday morning he wrote:

“I have a deep and abiding love for all people of all nationalities. I’m very sorry that I have said things on here that have caused distress. My personal beliefs aside I realize that some will interpret this debate as me mocking the rituals and traditions of others. I am very sorry.”

Celebrities rant about all kinds of things everyday on their Twitter pages, allowing us mere mortals to get to know them a little better. And, although we applaud them for expressing their beliefs, do you think they should be a little more reserved when it comes to topics like these?
