			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<!-- sphereit start --><p>Here it is:<br /><a href="http://www.cnn.com/2009/WORLD/africa/03/17/cameroon.pope/index.html">Pope visits Africa, reaffirms ban on condoms &#8211; CNN.com</a><br />
<blockquote>Pope Benedict has always made it clear he intends to uphold the traditional Catholic teaching on artificial contraception &#8212; a &#8220;clear moral prohibition&#8221; &#8212; Allen said. But his remarks Tuesday were among the first times he stated the policy explicitly since he became pope nearly four years ago.</p></blockquote>
<p>He also questioned the effectiveness of condoms in stopping the spread of AIDS.<br />On the other hand, his issue may only involve those dirty unmarried sluts<br />
<blockquote>He has, however, assembled a panel of scientists and theologians to consider the narrow question of whether to allow condoms for married couples, one of whom has HIV, the virus that causes AIDS.</p></blockquote>
<p>We shall have to wait and see.</p>
<p>Ultimately, though, this shows the truest danger of religion.  It places the next life at higher value than this one.</p>

Rick Warren is anti-gay.
Dr Warren said that homosexuality is not a natural way of life and thus not a human right. &#8220;We shall not tolerate this aspect at all,&#8221; Dr Warren said.

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<!-- sphereit start --><p>Lets summarize first.</p>
<ol>
<li><a href="http://allafrica.com/stories/200803281265.html">Rick Warren is anti-gay</a>.<br />
<blockquote><p><strong>Dr Warren said that homosexuality is not a natural way of life and thus not a human right. &#8220;We shall not tolerate this aspect at all,&#8221; Dr Warren said.</strong></p></blockquote>
</li>
<li><a href="http://saddlebackfamily.com/home/bibleqanda/index.html">Rick Warren is anti-woman</a> (see #32) I don&#8217;t see how you can tell a woman to let a man beat her instead of getting a divorce and be anything but anti-woman</li>
<li><a href="http://www.thedailybeast.com/blogs-and-stories/2009-01-07/the-truth-about-rick-warren-in-africa/full/">Rick Warren is anti-AIDS prevention</a>.  His &#8216;main man&#8217; in Uganda is named Ssempa:<br />
<blockquote><p><strong>Ssempa’s stunts have included burning condoms in the name of Jesus and arranging the publication of names of homosexuals in cooperative local newspapers while lobbying for criminal penalties to imprison them.</strong></p></blockquote>
</li>
</ol>
<p>And this man isn&#8217;t run out of town on a rail?  Why?  Because of the most insidious aspect of religion.</p>
<p>It justifies anything and everything.  Once in a blue moon, as in the case of Madeline Kara Neumann, there will be a cry for people to be held accountable for their religions beliefs and the actions that stem from them, but as a rule, anything goes.  If I said the things Rick Warren said, and my only justification was &#8220;because&#8221;, I&#8217;d been called a monster.</p>
<p>This is the twisted result of backwards tolerance.</p>
<p>You see it in some Middle East and African countries where women are treated like property ON A GOOD DAY.  We say to ourselves &#8220;Well, thats just their way&#8221;.  We can&#8217;t question their religion because then, y&#8217;know, you might have to apply that to religion here too.  Further, most people don&#8217;t fully understand that this isn&#8217;t &#8216;their&#8217; way, its forced upon the women.  The idea that there is ABSOLUTELY NO CHOICE doesn&#8217;t fully compute to us, and so we make the assumption that the women want to be treated worse than dogs and that religion can justify this anyhow.</p>
<p>Any other name put on this would make these people devils.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<!-- sphereit start --><p>This is an interesting read.&nbsp; Surprisingly, Warren appears to be living in a world unrelated to reality.&nbsp; And since AIDS only kills faggots and whores, why should he care?<br />I have to say, it is getting harder and harder to figure out exactly why anyone who cares about human beings could possibly like this guy.</p>
<p><a href="http://www.smirkingchimp.com/thread/19616">Condom Burnings and Anti-Gay Witch Hunts: How Rick Warren Is Undermining AIDs Prevention in Africa | The Smirking Chimp</a><br />
<blockquote>But since the Warren inauguration controversy erupted, the nature of his work against AIDS in Africa has gone unexamined. Warren has not been particularly forthcoming to those who have attempted to look into it. His Web site contains scant information about the results of his program. However, an investigation into Warren&#8217;s involvement in Africa reveals a web of alliances with right-wing clergymen who have sidelined science-based approaches to combating AIDS in favor of abstinence-only education. More disturbingly, Warren&#8217;s allies have rolled back key elements of one of the continent&#8217;s most successful initiative, the so-called ABC program in Uganda. Stephen Lewis, the United Nations special envoy for HIV/AIDS in Africa, told the New York Times their activism is &#8220;resulting in great damage and undoubtedly will cause significant numbers of infections which should never have occurred.&#8221;</p>
<p>Warren&#8217;s man in Uganda is a charismatic pastor named Martin Ssempa. The head of the Makerere Community Church, a rapidly growing congregation, Ssempa enjoys close ties to his country&#8217;s first lady, Janet Museveni, and is a favorite of the Bush White House. In the capitol of Kampala, Ssempa is known for his boisterous crusading. Ssempa&#8217;s stunts have included burning condoms in the name of Jesus and arranging the publication of names of homosexuals in cooperative local newspapers while lobbying for criminal penalties to imprison them.</p></blockquote>
