During a recent broadcast of his “Generations Radio” program, anti-gay activist Kevin Swanson suggested that God created HIV/AIDS to punish gay people. And, he says, that’s a good thing....

He then said that HIV/AIDS is ““God’s retribution to their sexual habit,” and that the disease is a sign of “God’s kindness,” since it gives gays time to meditate on past indiscretions, renounce homosexuality, and be spared burning in hell for all eternity.

“It’s also a wake-up call,” he said. “Be thankful that God doesn’t kill you all at once. He slows you down for a moment, he makes you sick, he gives you a head’s up.”

He urges gay people to learn from the likes of Kelly Gissendaner and Karla Faye Tucker, two women who converted to Christianity before being executed for murder.

You've got to be cruel to be kind, in the right measure... </nick-lowe>

1. By that "reasoning" God's okie-dokie with lesbians then.

Given that they have very low rates of HIV infection...

2. God must be sexist

Lesbian women are the lowest risk group.

10. She sure is!

3. AIDS ownership goes to our

Naval Research Labs and people who seem to think they have a better idea no matter how many people have to die for Political ends.

6. That guy is a piece of garbage.

Did God make him stupid for any particular reason? He needs to meditate on why God creates assholes.

7. So if his god has control over humans on that level, why did it make people gay

in the first place?

So sick of this religious idiocy/lunacy.

8. Amazing.

Can't help but wonder why his God didn't give AIDS to those involved in the slave trade. Methinks they could have used a wake-up call!

9. And Africans?

Most of the world's AIDS sufferers live in sub-Saharan Africa and are heterosexual - indeed, one of the highest-risk groups are monogamous married women, a group you can hardly place blame on for irresponsible behavior (not that I'm a fan of placing blame in other cases either). So what are they being punished for?

Some people should just shut up about what God is up to and what not.

13. Overy 100,000 Africans each month die of AIDS.

Worldwide, more than 80 percent of all adult HIV infections have resulted from heterosexual intercourse.
