Put it all together--you oppose mitigating the possibly harmful effects of STDs because you think that STDs are an appropriate punishment for sin, and you oppose even taking steps that would protect a woman from infection while married.

I'll thank you for not putting words in my mouth. That's not what I said at all. If you interpret it that way, it's your problem, not mine.

For the especially dense, here's my opinion again in an nutshell: If you want to get this shot, fine. Be my guest. Just don't make it mandatory for EVERYONE to get it. That's nanny-statism at its worst. Furthermore, this vaccine does nothing to address the underlying issue which caused HPV to spread in the first place--a sick cultural fascination with casual sex.

As for the other stuff, I'm comforatable letting God decide what's an appropriate punishment for sin. I'm not in the habit of dictating to the Big Guy what He should do.

That makes more sense. Perhaps it would be easier for people to determine what exactly you mean if you didn't throw terms like "slut shot" around.
