Christian propaganda?

Hey guys,
I work with a guy who is about two notches above white trash and claims to be a “Jesus Freak” Christian.
Well anyway, yesterday (World AIDS Day) he sent me an e-mail, so I decided to track down the source of where he got the info that he sent me from.

My question is: True or false? (Regarding the topic)
Here’s the link:
http://www.prolife.com/CONDOMS.html

I'm not sexually active at all but this made me wonder...

Regards,
Mal.

Anything to do with religion is a joke..

Threatening people who don't believe in God that they will go to hell, is like a hippy threatening to punch you in the aura!!

I know this post was irrelevant, but oh well..

Some of those christianese people really know how to make a guy feel bad eh?

yeah that has to be propaganda.

I'd like to see the studies from a reputable source. It isn't enough to make claims like '31% of the time, AIDS can be transmitted even if a condom is worn' without citing the source of the study. and by citing i mean giving a link to the study.

Maybe it is true, but looks like a dodgy write up given to pubescent teenagers to scare them out of premarital/polygamous sex.

T Lickona, the author of the book which was 'adapted' to make that article, is a religous instructor to teens in a catholic parish. Nuff said.

It's written for weak minded semi retarded religious people who believe anything that has a statistic to it..

You can walk down the street and be run over by a car, does that mean walking is like playing Russian Roulette?

In the article it claims

"Condoms provide considerably less protection against sexually transmitted diseases (STDs) than they do against pregnancy"

This is probably the most retarded sentence I have ever read..

It then goes ONE step further and states the following..

"reports that 56 million Americans have an incurable STD. That means 1 in 5 Americans are infected"

I don't know how they got the figures 1 in 5 out of 56 million when America has over 350+ million population. Maybe 1 in 7 at the minimum and this is probably only lower class citizens who either cannot afford health care or are uneducated about the risks of unprotected sex..

But the article claims you're going to catch an STD if you wear a condom O_O

I'm not American, but I have been having unprotected sex with countless women from all racial backgrounds and never caught any STD's thus far..

Well I trust the women, most of them are friends and usually they're pretty honest

Be aware that condoms are not individually tested and there are in fact microscopic holes that are invisible to the naked eye but of a size significant enough to allow passage of microscopic organisms. How do I know this? I have ran various tests and have actually looked at condoms with high power magnification and you would be shocked to see the holes that are in the condoms. Yes, they are microscopic in size but so are the various viruses. I once did a test where I filled 10 condoms with hydrogen and all ten lost significant capacity over a 1 week period. Hydrogen is smallish molecule and it easily finds the holes.

Now, do you stop wearing condoms because they are not perfect? Well no, you should be an intelligent thinking person and mitigate your risks of getting a terrible disease. Is this about religion? Well some will certainly spin it that way but this is really about science and physics. You should be wise about where you stick your dick. Know who you are with and characterize their habits to help understand your risks. Put a condom on too because there are very few degrees of separation between those the have a disease and those who don't. Be smart and pick wisely with your big head and cover the little head too...this is risk mitigation in action fellows.

Condoms are only to help prevent pregnancy and STD's, they NEVER claim to eliminate the chances of catching an STD or getting someone pregnant.

Exactly. Only reduces the chances....does not exclude them completely.

The link goes to "Pro-Life America"...and by pro-life do they mean anti-choice? Pro-life is the old term for people against legal abortion; they're now called anti-choicers.

The problem with Pro-life supporters is the total lack of knowledge of freedom, they fail to understand rape, and early teen pregnancies.

Young women and teens may be in difficult situations, either being raped or getting pregnant at an early age where they cannot and do not want to support a child..

Everyone has the choice to choose how they want their life to be, so what makes the choice of not wanting a child any different? Children deserve the very best and in most cases the parent or impregnated woman/teen may want the best not only for them, but for their child, which is more painful a decision than anyone could understand..

We live in a world where we not only have the technology to prevent these unwanted pregnancies, we also have the technology to abort them at will..

This is not only because of criminal actions that results in pregnancies it's also the result of living in a free and open society where each and ever citizen has the right to chose how they want to live their life..

If we all thought like Pro-Life supporters, we might as well go back to the stone age, have 10 husbands, 40 children, and an endless life of hell and torture in the name of life..

Just because condoms have microscopic holes does not mean viruses will get through them. These viruses don't float in a vacuum: they are in body fluids.

These fluids must be able to permeate the condom in order to carry the virus. If the fluid can't get through the holes, neither can the virus. It's not as if the virus is going to jump out of the fluid and run into the holes.

This is an example of using unrelated, individual, strict "facts of science" and ignoring the situation as a whole. Same as the global warming bullshit.
