This is clearly drawing an equation between condom use and death, and the reasoning behind the ad's copy/graphics doesn't matter one bit. They are telling people that condom use is fatal, using pictures.
And at any rate, the fact that the church spreads misinformation about condom use makes it complicit in those deaths. The fact that they do not point out that condom use drastically reduces the likelihood of HIV transmission means that they are an obstacle to the betterment of those people. Whether your church's officials "believe" a person can still get AIDS while wearing a condom doesn't address the fact that used properly, condoms save lives. Do you need me to link you to studies on that?
Your church is putting ideology in front of human lives. It cares more about enforcing its stand on contraception than it does about real, living people. I find that reprehensible.
Like I have already addressed with Vic. I don't expect people to approve of the Church's way of dealing with condom use in AIDS, or to agree with them on what the best way is to end the spread of it. My problem is how some articles, as well as with how a couple individuals here, have portrayed the Church and blown things out of proportion to villainize the Church. At this point I would be repeating my last 5 or so posts if I explained again lol.
"Of course, everyone will claim they respect someone who tries to speak the truth, but in reality, this is a rare quality. Most respect those who speak truths they agree with, and their respect for the speaking only extends as far as their realm of personal agreement. It is less common, almost to the point of becoming a saintly virtue, that someone truly respects and loves the truth seeker, even when their conclusions differ wildly."
