Pope to Africa: “Don’t Use Condoms!”

every christian is retarded... every last one of them.

Like a bunch of rapists are gonna start using more condoms if only the pope told them to...

If they want to protect themselves from catching a crippling and fatal disease they will.

Living in Africa is usually a crippling and fatal disease.

yea relly they need to finish what they started

Sounds pretty good to me. But try not to kill the smart ones and the non-whory males. But quite a bit of the females can stay. :D

I kinda disagree with this, I know many many people both athiests and religious that don't want to have sex before marriage. Of course this doesn't work for everyone.

Im sure you'll agree that no sex is the best way to stop the spread of HIV, with using condoms coming a close second. If you ignore for a second for the fact that Catholics are against condoms and pre-marital sex, and just weigh up the pros and cons, obviously less sex would be good for Africa right now. But if you can't stop them having sex, then of course, give them condoms.

Yeah right. Cut the pope some slack here, he's not advising people to have sex without condoms so it's not his fault that HIV and overpopulation ruin the country.

You say it's his fault because people listen to him when it comes to condoms, but it's just as much not his fault because people don't listen to him when it comes to sex.

It's clearly the people's fault for not realizing that you should either follow his advice completely or not at all. If they think they can make up for not practicing abstinence by not using condoms either, they are clearly too stupid to be helped either way.

just to say, I don't agree with the pope at all.

But I still stand by that this is written sensationalized and inaccurate because the BBC article never said anything about the pope saying that using condoms was bad. He said distribution (like throwing condoms of trucks) is bad (one can only assume he means that it contributes to moral decay).

While it does not explicitly say that the pope said that condoms are good or bad (just the distribution), it does say that distribution is not the best way to prevent aids. So I think a better title would be "Pope tells Africa abstinence is better than condoms". And in that sense, even the BBC article is slightly sensationalized.

well..
let's put it this way:

pope says "condoms aren't the solution to aids"
ok. i don't completely agree, but i can see the point. you may want to say that education, abstinence are needed to eradicate the problem, since you're catholic and blablabla.
but then, he adds: "and condoms make thing worse". in my country the news reported it something like "pope says condoms are not a solution to aids spreading, but instead it'll help it spreading".

i wasn't there, and they didn't let us see the whole video, so i cannot say for sure.
but still...

I'm with you Julius

i even went to see the news in other places (BCC included) and while i still don't agree with it what he said isn't as bad as the idea of what this article transmits

just as an example, the phrase "they can even increase the problem" looks like it's referring to condoms when in truth is actually referring to distribution, because in fact what he said was something like "it [the distribution] can even increase the problem"...

Oh come on, it's just that the Jewish media want to blame world's problems on the other religions again.

Media tells you Islam is the cause for terrorism, Media tells you Christianity is the cause for overpopulation and spread of AIDS: same thing!

^You sir, are a genius.

Especially Otaku should be able to relate to the pope's demands. I mean, isn't religion some kind of obsession in itself?

Otaku have long proposed that it would be better for the world if people got their kicks out of obsessing over anime girls complete with collecting figures, reading official manga and doujinshi, and lots of fapping, than out of laying people they met at bars or clubs or whatever was the common method at that time.

Catholic Christianity has long proposed that it would be better for the world if people got their kicks out of obsessing over Jesus complete with collecting crucifes, reading the bible and related fanbooks, and lots of praying, than out of laying people they met at bars or clubs or whatever was the common method at that time.

Otakism and Christianity have lots in common. Christianity is only one step more extreme than Otakism because it implies that obsessing over Jesus could replace the physical need for sexual stimulation, while Otakism stops at implying that obsessing over anime and games can replace the physical need for social activities including 3D humans.
