3. Her point is valid, even if you don't like it. An apt comparison would be if the availability of a Tetanus vaccine lulled people into re-using hypodermic needles, thereby causing an uptick in the incidence of hepatitis.
And, as a matter of fact, the AIDS cocktail (although not a cure) HAS been bad in some regards, because it has led to a resurgence of risky sexual behavior.
That said, I think opposition to the vaccine is wrong. However, in this thread, it's just being used as an excuse for Christian-bashing.

1. He and other-over the-top zealots do and will continue to speak for the church until your national organizers denounce Mahr's rhetoric and quit taking money from these clowns.
2. I haven't seen any other religions "Abstinence or Else" rhetoric in my schools. Do tell.
3. For her point to be valid you believe we should let people die instead of allowing the possibility that they may someday commit sin. Please. Wasn't Christ going to be the only one who would die for our sins? Oh well, what's the murder of 100,000's Women - many of them Christians - as long as we can scare little girls into getting married young.
-There is nothing APT about comparing making love to Heroin addiction, at least not the way I do it.
-I think the millions of men who are alive today thanks to AZT would disagree that thier deaths would be worthwhile to stop boys from kissing each other.
-thank you for at least offering up your disagreement with this. I appreciate it.
-If it makes you feel any better, I would disagree with any group that values no lives other than people who believe the way they do. Do it in name of your Church, Country, Race. whatever... It's all the same hate and fear.
