Pope Visits Cameroon, Still Denies Science

Proof that adherence to religious dogma does not increase intelligence:

Since stepping off the papal plane Tuesday, attention to Benedict's pilgrimage has been largely focused on the Vatican's refusal to advocate condoms as a way to help stop the spread of AIDS, which is ravaging Africa in a pandemic that affects millions.

Benedict's declaration on the plane that distributing condoms "increases" the AIDS problem has drawn international criticism from governments and organizations that fight the disease.

Increases AIDS? Really, Pope? Really?! Stupid bastard. Yeah, I said it. Stop being part of the problem and start being part of the solution. We're talking human lives here. Jesus...

It's not the pope's personal fault that 2 people died in a stampede of people attempting to see him in Luanda, Angola...
However that is a snapshot of sorts... of the casual destruction of life caused by the church as it goes about the world attempting to save the not-yet-conceived while killing the already-born, by invoking a ludicrously counter-productive strategy to combat a deadly illness.

Angola has had a civil war for nearly three decades. It is infested with landmines (of which weapon the USA is a current producer, along with nice countries like Burma, Iran, North Korea and Pakistan). You can't take a pee there without risk of tripping over one of these things.

Instead of focusing on condoms why doesn't the old fellow talk about landmines?
Lady Di is gone. Help is needed on this issue.
