If God is all mighty,why doesn't he change bad people/seiners into good ones?

The cruelest thing in the world to do would be to suggest to someone that 95% effectiveness or 99% effectiveness was enough to stop something as dangerous as HIV.

That would be cruel, but it is also a giant strawman. A device with 95-99% effectiveness would not stop HIV, it would just, you know, make it 95-99 times more likely to prevent it than not using one.

Instead, you guys introduce a standard you know that most people can't live up to, blame people for being people when your stupid idea doesn't work, and make it worse by disallowing effective alternatives. Which, when you get right down to it, is a very Christian6 way of doing things, isn't it?

This is the stupidest thing I have heard all day. You really think that a device with 95-99% effectiveness would make it 95-99% more likely to stop HIV? No, it would open people to having sexual intercourse.

Abstinence works. I have not been seriously tempted to have sex in years and years and years. God takes the desire away. You are the one who is deceiving people, telling them that if they are HIV positive they can have sex and it is ok because it is 95-99% effective.

You call the Christians position ideological, but this is the most ideological nonsense in the world. That is the way that young children count, the way that you just did. You think you compute probabilities based on a single instance and that condoms have no effect on psychological behavior? You are brainwashed. Either people are sexually active or they aren't. The probability of contracting AIDS is based on whether people are sexually active, it is not based on a single use. For someone who has HIV, the chance that they will give it to someone else, whatever kind of contraception they use is far, far too high to do anything than abstinence. But you would never accept that. You are much to comfortable in your politics and your advocacy of hedonism to step outside yourself and actually consider how what you advocate translates into the real world.

You are the one who is making HIV worst, not the Catholic church.
