the coming cost to America for Gay Men
Apr 29, 2015 1:43PM PDT
http://www.renewamerica.com/columns/fischer/150227

"The Centers for Disease Control estimates that gay, bisexual, and other men who have sex with men represent approximately 2% of the United States population. If the population of the United States is 319 million, this means that up to 6,380,000 males may soon be demanding that the Truvada pill to be made available to them at taxpayer expense to prevent HIV infections.

The potential total exposure to taxpayers for annual prescriptions of Truvada would run, in a worst case scenario, to $50,248,880,000 a year (6.38 million multiplied by $7876). That's $50 billion a year. That's "billion" with a "b."

The gay disease is about to become very, very expensive."

It's all strictly voluntary.

If not, it's punishible by law (like assault or rape). That's not complicated, is it? I even think it's the same as in America.

Diane, they had no more knowledge of God's
Apr 30, 2015 3:51AM PDT

ways than many folks today.
James 1:12,13, "When under trial, let no one say: "I am being tried by God." For with evil things God cannot be tried, nor does he himself try anyone."
The 'ills that flesh is heir to' are just that, inherited from Adam, who was created free from sin and death.
James goes on, "But each one is tried by being drawn out and enticed by his own desire. Then the desire, when it has become fertile, gives birth to sin; in turn sin, when it has been carried out, brings forth death."
This applies to alcoholics who keep drinking, AIDS orphans in Africa whose heterosexual fathers brought back HIV from business trips, those whose sin is living in zones about to be hit by Hellfire missiles...
The answer, pointed out by Jesus to a badly crippled man, is at Isa 33:24, "And no resident will say: "I am sick." The people dwelling in the land will be pardoned for their error." (Mr 2:10,11)
BTW Barbara Tuchman gave a good account of the plague era in A Distant Mirror.

"painting slogans and splashing blood" is "praying"?

So is burning down CVS pharmacies?

May 8, 2015 8:18PM PDT

Cursing, shouting, damaging property, disrupting people's ability to get where they want to go, etc....all of that is perfectly normal and acceptable protest behavior but

praying???

That's where incivility changes from tolerable to intolerable and must be stopped.

As Cockroach Man said to the
May 11, 2015 6:12AM PDT

farmer in Men In Black, "Your offer is acceptable."
Jer 8:2, "They will become like manure on the surface of the ground."
Also at 9:22, 16:24, 25:33.
Some of the qualifications for that end are enumerated in Ch. 7.
One is at v. 25,26: "So I kept sending all my servants the prophets to you, sending them each day, again and again. But they refused to listen to me, and they did not incline their ear."
