In The Know	Largely agreed Anthony - but remember it is NOT just Christianity which contributes to the problem, they have their own "religions" and beliefs too !
Anthony	Interesting and sometimes horrifying article. It raises many issues about life in Africa, and the legacy we in the West have left them. Of course there are many reasons why AIDS is so prevalent there, and with or without the beliefs of Christianity, millions would still be dying. I can see that, but the Church is still guilty of refusing to help because of their religious dogma, and this is a quote from this very article:- "In Zambia, Sumaru witnessed preachers condemning the use of contraception. One priest told a room full of orphans: 'I do not support the use of condoms,' shouted the priest. 'Because that has been made by man. Man cannot protect this - it is only God.'"

All religions are great off the shelf packages which do all their followers' thinking for them. They don't have to lift a finger. Maybe humankind will never learn to behave decently, but it won't even stand a chance whilst infected by the mind virus of religion.

I raised this issue to a class mate at the time who pointed out that as he was the son of God, he looked about 30 but was of course only really 3 months old. A miracle I believed until I was about 7. :D:D:D:D:D:D Tops!
