[On Africans who can't afford patented, expensive AIDS medication.]
In the west we can afford to live sinful lives. In third world countries they cannot. They must first change their way of living to one they can afford.

Julian -- Perhaps Jesus is not spinning so fast. After all, when Jesus was asked why he didn't sell some expensive, donated ointment and give the money to the poor, he said "the poor will always be with us" and he used the ointment on himself.
Briannathearchangel, I have as good a time laughing at Christian fundies as any of the people here (and I don't hold the non-fundy Christians in any special respect either, compared to decent people of other or no religion) but I find your claims about Christianity absurd. Christianity didn't create any of the diseases you mention. One could make the case that Christian sexual morality with its distaste for condoms has helped the spread of AIDS, true, but that's a different matter. As for cancer, obesity and the viruses, I don't see any link with religion at all. And the claim about depression, though not impossible, would be quite difficult to prove.
Bria was kidding.
Julian, are you talking to me when you say "you"? I'm not a Christian, I'm an atheist Jew. I just answered Bria's post because it looked glaringly absurd to me.
Absolutely - in exactly the same indescribably layered, political satire that GWB is employing to mock his father.
