What Human Rights?

[Catholic_Lady]

You vehemently disagree with their decision to keep promoting monogamy instead of passing out condoms, but I think it's important to at least acknowledge that their intentions seem to genuinely be in the best interest of the Africans they are trying to help. These are not evil people.

I've never called your church authorities evil. But the road to Hell is paved with good intentions. They may wish the best for the church-goers they serve, but they clearly do them a disservice by lying to them, and you should be criticizing them for doing that, rather than defending them.

They are advertising that condoms = death. That is bullshit, you know it, and you should be speaking out against it. Letting doctrine take precedence over lives is obnoxious, and you're better than that.

Of course I would criticize them if they lied. I told Vic on one of my first posts about this that if the first article he posted was accurate in terms of some people having intentionally lied, then those people need to be reprimanded. I just didn't put too much stalk into it because it was an extremely biased work. The point I've been making though, is that it doesn't seem like they actually lied if you look at all the facts and the context. That's what I spent a few posts talking about in the last couple pages. Saying something you genuinely believe to be true is not a lie, and I feel like I have to defend them a little bit because I'm seeing a lot of stuff getting blown out of proportion. Like the accusation that they told people condoms would kill them. Saying it like that makes it sound like they told people condoms were some sort of poison or something. That is not the case.
