STDs at all-time high: Where does Arizona rank?
Tucson News ^ | October 26, 2017 | Staff

TUCSON, AZ (Tucson News Now) -

According to a new report released by the Centers for Disease Control (CDC) the number of cases of chlamydia, gonorrhea and syphilis reported in the United States reached all-time highs in 2016.

In the U.S., there were 1.6 million cases of chlamydia and 470,000 cases of gonorrhea last year.

“Increases in STDs are a clear warning of a growing threat,” said Jonathan Mermin, M.D., M.P.H., director of CDC’s National Center for HIV/AIDS, Viral Hepatitis, STD, and TB Prevention. “STDs are a persistent enemy, growing in number, and outpacing our ability to respond.”

The increase has been seen in all genders and sexual orientations.

Our doctor says the worst is the University of Texas. She refuses to give insertable birth controls as those tend to harbor the virus inside longer.

With the exception of chlamydia, men who have sex with men - MSM - dominate as the sexual orientation responsible for most of the increases.

Matt 7:13-14: Enter ye in at the strait gate: for wide is the gate, and broad is the way, that leadeth to destruction, and many there be which go in thereat: Because strait is the gate, and narrow is the way, which leadeth unto life, and few there be that find it.

The majority of the people engaged in sin prior to the flood. God still destroyed them all with the exception of Noah and his family. Wrong is wrong, regardless how many do it.

Again, sex is allowed only between one man, and one woman, both of whom are married to each other. Anything else is an abomination.

Fifty five years ago my high school teacher said there was practically no VD in the NW Arkansas area.

Then came the sexual revolution. By 1975, everyone I know who picked up a skank at an Oklahoma border bar or Washington county bar caught clap or crabs.

And that the girls who had it all caught it from riding tractors in their bathing suits.

"I look at that map and have to wonder why they call it the Bible Belt."

Feminism, divorce, cohabitation and fatherlessness all wrapped up in the new religion and preached to every community for several decades already. The judicial systems enforce it, and so do the employers.

They made their bed. They can lay in it. Many men and the women who love them have become Noachides.

No one knows any body else’s relationship with God. The people you know may have repented and been forgiven.

We do know He’s not crazy about unrepentant fornication. I never understood that until I grew up and read and understood the Bible.

From a secular point of view, look at the heavy economic, mental and spiritual consequences to get a clue as to why His guidebook would steer people away from fornication.

“Race and ethnicity in the United States are risk markers that correlate with other more fundamental determinants of health status, such as poverty, access to quality health care, health care seeking behavior, illicit drug use, and living in communities with high prevalence of STDs.”
