If God is all-powerful, he could have made a disease that ONLY affected people who engaged in the behavior proscribed by 'law.' AIDS does not discriminate, it is easier for women to get than for men in normal male-female intercourse, but all that means is that a bisexual or drug using man can get it.

Secondly, the majority of the world's AIDS cases are heterosexuals. I guess Ryan White got what was coming to him, eh?

People like you are sick. God comes up with AIDS but let's His Chosen People be sent to death camps, let's Communism slaughter millions---but a man shoves his penis in another man's orifice and THATS what he'll get involved with!

Truly moronic and immoral.

If you look at the transmission statistics, you'll see that HIV does in fact discriminate, and quite heavily. The risk of infection for monogamous couples is effectively zero. Furthermore even if there are more HIV infections among heterosexuals than among homosexuals, one has to factor in that a full half of infections are among male homosexuals - less than a percent of the overall population, which gives them an infection rate of about 100 times that of a heterosexual. Doesn't that qualify as discrimination?

Actually, God didn't 'make AIDS' what he warns is that when man ignores his will, bad things will happen, because these evil things are of this earth, which is corrupted with evil things.
When the Jews ignored Him, they became blind to Him, and no longer under his protection.
Jesus Came and offered Salvation, The world will continue on it's self destructive course, because that is Gods will that this world be destroyed, as it cannot be saved from the evil that corrupts it. "Death was not my creation" he says.

the majority of the world's AIDS cases are heterosexuals

At most, about five percent of Aids patients are heterosexuals who likely got the disease from someone who was not at high risk, says Dr Monina Klevens, co-author of a study by the American Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC). But heterosexuals who suspected or even knew their partners were infected, overwhelmingly ignored their risk, the study found. This could explain the very high levels of heterosexual infection in countries such as South Africa.

US statistics show that no more than five percent of all Aids cases involve heterosexual sex among people who weren't in high-risk groups, Klevens says.

"And we know that's an overestimate," Klevens says. "Most cases are still because someone had sex with someone who had a primary risk factor."

In the United States, high-risk groups for Aids include gay men (currently 42 percent of Aids patients), IV-drug users (25 percent) and people who have had transfusions.

Health 24

As for Ryan White, tragic as it was, some of us are put here on Earth for a higher purpose. His life story significantly changed the way we look at AIDS and control it (blood screening and education), which has kept heterosexual HIV under control in the US with the exception of intravenous drug users and those who engage in risky sex practices or have unprotected sex with partners who do so. Those in underdeveloped countries have not had the education nor do they have controls in place and children born of infected adults who contracted the disease because of risky behavior are clearly the victims of that and my heart goes out to them.

God comes up with AIDS but let's His Chosen People be sent to death camps, let's Communism slaughter millions

God did not "let" these things happen...man did, you forgot he gave us free will, we ultimately choose whether to use it for right or wrong.
