Is religion good for anything?
The Pope has gone to visit Africa. How awfully good of him, his first Papal visit to the continent. He’s gone to do great things I hear you hoping. No. Of course not.
“HIV/Aids is a tragedy that cannot be overcome through the distribution of condoms, which can even increase the problem” says his popeship.
How are condoms increasing the problem? I suppose the only way to prevent the spread of HIV is through abstinence in his eyes.
Condoms are a barrier method to HIV/Aids which WORK as long as they are distributed along with education on how to use them (a case proven by the Treatment Action Campaign in South Africa www.tac.org.za).
Sometimes I just wish that someone would put an end to religion and the people who speak out for it.
