But you're saying that, directly or indirectly, God created AIDS to punish us for being a sinful society. Not just gay people and drug addicts, there's plenty of other people who get AIDS without commiting 'sins', just like there's plenty of promiscous people who don't get AIDS. How do you explain that? Did God miscalculate the appliance of his wrath? Or did he decide to spare some sinners and punish some decent folk so people wouldn't suspect it was him? Maybe his PR people told him his kinder self of recent millenia had done wonders for his public image, so he should at least cover his tracks if he wants to start punishing us for not believing in him again.

How do you explain people who prevent AIDS by using condoms? Are they undoing God's will by doing something so simple? Is that why putting rubber in one's own cock offends catholics so much? "Take that rubber off your cock and get your damn divine wrath dammit!" If only the people in the old testament had thought of it, maybe all the plagues would have bypassed them.

How would you explain it if AIDS is cured, like all diseases eventually are? Did some guy with a test tube overpower God?

Even if I bought the whole "fornicating is bad and you'll die a horrible death if you do it so please take out that rubber off cause if you don't God's plan won't work" thing, I'd refuse to believe in a God who would punish people who haven't sinned while bypassing people who fuck like machines.
