Uganda passing law that allows them to put homosexuals to death.

I wonder if Danny boy here is aware of how well those good, Christian sexual ethics have worked out here.

To start with, I've already mentioned abstinence education, right? Plain and simple, it doesn't work. I don't think I have ever seen a reliable study done that has shown evidence that it does. However, I HAVE seen studies that show people exposed to abstinence only sex ed have a higher risk of participating in high risk sexual activities. Makes sense if you ask me; most of us want teens to hold back on sex, but if you want them to be safe when/if they do something, they're going to need to know how.

But that's mostly children. I suppose in the developing world where there isn't a good education for most people, you can't expect adults to know this either. But for the sake of discussion, let's say we did spread good Christian sexual ethics over there. Why are their ethics going to be any better than ours? I mean, it seems like we can't even go a week without another right wing, homophobic, Christian fundamentalist getting busted with a dick in his mouth (and while we're on he topic of AIDS, I should mention that guys like that are more likey to participate in high risk behavior than their openly gay counterparts). I mean, just off the top of my head there's Ted Haggard and George Rekers. And those are just the high profile ones I can mention that everybody knows about. When I was doing webcamming, it wasn't uncommon to get guys who specifically tell me they're very religious..... but they still get into seeing a chick with a dick.

Bottom line: I would trust Christian morals to fix th problems in Africa if they had better results here. You want to see real change? Get the people there out of poverty, get them food and clean water and medicine. Get them an education. Jesus magic isn't gonna do shit.
