The Evil That Is Religion....

It took the ugly appearance of one of my pet subjects to drag me back to my much neglected blog today.

HIV-infected condoms sent to kill Africans, claims archbishop

Mozambique's Roman Catholic archbishop has accused European condom manufacturers of deliberately infecting their products with HIV "in order to finish quickly the African people".

The archbishop of Maputo, Francisco Chimoio, told the BBC that he had specific information about a plot to kill off Africans. "I know that there are two countries in Europe ... making condoms with the virus, on purpose," he alleged. But he refused to name the countries.

What exactly is going on in the minds of anyone who allows a man with such outrageously offensive opinions to be in a position of influence or power?

Whilst millions of human beings die from a disease that is, in many ways, avoidable, the catholic church, as if it did not have enough blood on it's hands throughout history, enables this spiteful evil little man to make remarks that will undoubtedly lead to yet more deaths.

Hopefully one piece of good to come from this latest piece of bile from the religious slavers is that somewhere in the world someone will be shocked enough by the statement to release themselves from religious slavery. Sadly their freedom will doubtless be bought by the deaths of the uneducated slaves who accept this evil little man's message at face value.
