Subject: RE: BS: Christian Persecution
Anyone fancy a chat about Christian persecution?

I was speaking to a guy from Uganda in the hotel bar here in Bangkok last night. I googled some of what he said just to be sure, as I had no idea.

A few years ago there was a contraception drive that was showing good results. Unwanted pregnancies down, especially for those who couldn't even feed themselves, STDs down in huge numbers, especially HIV+. The cost to the health care system in anti retro viral medicines down in the millions of US dollars worth etc etc.

Then came elections. Notwithstanding the ones wishing to make being gay a capital offence or the ones standing on making sex illegal for two years to make AIDS die out.   No. The ones that got in were the worst.

The American Christian Right in their abstinence ideas bankrolled enough politicians to stop the government funded contraception.

Starving babies, huge rises in STDs and no money to prevent them being fatal for thousands and thousands of people.

Christian persecution? Amazing the wicked things you do when you get Jesus to agree with your personality disorder.   Im sure other religions persecute whole countries but as Keith said, let's keep this thread about Christians eh?
