Does God want people in Africa to die of AIDS?

The Catholic Church and the U.S. government (at the behest of Bush's nutty fundamentalist friends) have insisted that telling Africans not to have sex is more effective than handing them a known prevention method - condoms. That's despite every study y ever done saying the opposite.

Yes, that's exactly what he wants.

Yes, that was satirical. Report It

people on this website dont like to talk about Africa... apparently its not important enough for people to care about

no

NO!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!...

NO

yep - just like the fag got and the stupid christians that are ******* and all the other peoples. god hates everyones - equal opportunist

lol yes, god does, or doesnt. HE DOESNT CARE!!! and bush and the pope (who was a Nazi by the way) are both idiots.

Thankfully, neither a political administration nor a particular church have exclusive hotlines to God's will.

no

I always say, lets take care of our own first before we worry about any other country.

The Catholic church wants people who have sex to die of aids. The god I believe in wants people to be happy and alive, and supports safe sex, even if it's premarital. The catholic church is not representative of god, and neither is the US gov.

Of course he does. He's evil. <-- What I'd say if he were real.

God does not want his children to suffer. Otherwise he would not have sent his Son.

People make choices. Those choices are what cause suffering.

God does not control what people do, ever.

so asking a question like that would make god think of you as what. friend or foe. go read the book.

yep and they've been doing it since at least 1930 i'm no mathematician but I assuming over this time 76 years or so there would have been millions of AIDS cases prevented if sex education , contraception and abortion clinics were introduced in to Africa via an effective program

The US government does not condom the use of condoms. Also, Christian fundamentalists do not condom the use of any birth control (i.e. stopping the fertilization of an egg as opposed to aborting it).

The Catholic Church, which teaches the non-biblical idea that sex is for procreation only, condoms the use of condoms. Don't lump the rest of us in with them.

no. God does not want to kill his own people. maybe it is a way of God to measure the faith of his people in that place. its a mater of to do or not to do.....we have to remember dat God has its own reason of doing these things.

You are making a big assumption that any of these individuals speak for God. As for people dying of AIDS, it is just a disease like any that has resulted from from humans continuing to ignore that fact that an cannot rule himself. What God wants for for man to learn that lesson.

as much as I hate in giving a good christian answer....I will be a nice guy this time around and answer as I think a christian would. No, God does not want the people of Africa to die. In fact, Biblically speaking it is the people who are struggling the most and give themselves over to God who recieve his highest blessings. In other words the fat lazy christians we have in the US would be at the bottom of his list and the African's dieing from AIDS would be waaaaayyy at the top :)

people die of AIDS because of their own actions. If God protected everyone from the consequences of their actions, we would just be able to do whatever we want. If people want to go and sleep around, it's not God's fault that they got aids, it's their own. and people need to stop saying, every time some one dies, that "God wanted him as an angel" or "It was his time." If you don't know the answer to something, don't make up stupid answers!

No.

The problem is that some people, largely people in position of power in the west, think two things:

pleasure of any kind is automatically bad

anyone how looks different doesn't have to exist

What god wants is for us is to continue to create forums
so that we are aware of what we are creating not only in our
country but all of the country's on the gem in the sea of space
called planet Earth, I hope this answer brings you a greater understanding and keep up the great work that your doing.

God is a concept that i have always struggled with. God may be giving me signs and indicators of my bad or good decisions. Like trail markers to help guide my actions. God may not participate with barking with dogs, clucking with chickens or talking with humans. It is far more different than we are apt to ever understand. The question is how you seem to feel about the catholic church and the us government. stand back and imagine the globe before you. why does the american continent have to handle every damn thing that screws up in the rest of the world. you pay for it doofus! you nearsighted impractical nut job. you claim studies prove you are right. statistics can prove anything. that is how statisticians earn those big bucks. money money money makes the world go around. did you know how messed up the us economy is in now? doofus doesn't complain about that. doofus wants to save one more place in the world that requires billions. life iss short, pretty damn mean and tuff, you are a child.

No, he wants them to change thier behavior.

natural selection: if people didn't die from war, natural disasters, disease, the world would be overrun. Not the answer you wanted, but it's true.

not just the people of africa but he wants the gays and the coloreds to die of aids too.

everything happens for a reason!

You are a poor confused soul aren't you?

No - if everyone followed God's word - Aids would fade away.

no it is not gods fault it is merly the actions of the people who choose to have sex it may seem that way but every thing has a reason.

Actually they can't afford them, that's why anal sex is the preferred method of birth control there and AIDS is acting as a natural cap on the population. The Catholic Church doesn't care if 1000 billion people eat the earth (through no birth control) as it is one of their fundamental dogmas.
