It’s God curse upon the wicked Sodomy & Gonorrhoea lifestyle of the Godless. They don’t have to be in porn to be cursed as such.

How does one contract HIV by watching porn? Oops.

There's a huge cost to watching porn, and it has nothing at all to do with HIV.

God, grant me the serenity to accept the things I cannot change, the courage to change the things I can and the WISDOM TO KNOW THE DIFFERENCE.

I learned something when I was overseas on Guam back in the mid to late 1980's. I was in the Air Force and I attended a church off the base. A very godly woman once told me something I have never forgotten.

A + B = C.

Attitude + Behavior = Consequence

I don't know if I go so far to say that a particular disease is God's judgment upon the porn industry, or anyone in particular for that matter.

What I would say is that the effects of sin is the consequence of their attitudes against a holy and just God, just as sin is in the lives of each and every one of us.

Sin is all around us. It's the consequence of Adam and Eve's disobedience in the Garden of Eden. It permeates our very existence. The entire world feels the effects of it. Even if this young lady comes to grip with the magnitude of what she has done and how her attitude and behavior have resulted in her acquiring this dreadful disease, she will still have to deal with the consequences.

I hope my point has not been lost on anyone. We all have to be mindful of that formula and never forget it's lesson. Bad attitude and/or bad behavior will result in bad consequences, but good attitude AND behavior will result in good consequences.

But until we get to glory, let's not say that a particular disease is "God's judgment" upon the porn industry until we hear it from God Almighty Himself.

**And not only in this life, cursed with a preventable, incurable disease, but also in the afterlife, where you have condemned yourself to eternal separation from God.**

Unless she repents, goes to Confession, and amends her ways, thus forgiven by God.

Words of absolution said by the priest:

enter the Table of Contents of the Catechism of the Catholic Church here
1449 The formula of absolution used in the Latin Church expresses the essential elements of this sacrament: the Father of mercies is the source of all forgiveness. He effects the reconciliation of sinners through the Passover of his Son and the gift of his Spirit, through the prayer and ministry of the Church:
God, the Father of mercies,
through the death and the resurrection of his Son
has reconciled the world to himself
and sent the Holy Spirit among us
for the forgiveness of sins;
through the ministry of the Church
may God give you pardon and peace,
and I absolve you from your sins in the name of the Father, and of the Son and of the Holy Spirit.

HIV is God’s Curse Upon the Porn Industry

I could've sworn that Louis Ferrakhan claimed that the CIA developed it to kill blacks. Now it only strikes porn stars, hmmm.

When you sell your body (and soul) to the devil, as the porn actress did, you have hell to pay. And not only in this life, cursed with a preventable, incurable disease, but also in the afterlife, where you have condemned yourself to eternal separation from God.

There are most certainly consequences from lifestyle choices, but doing porn DOES NOT condemn one to hell.

Rejecting the saving grace of Jesus Christ condemns one to hell.

This young woman might still come to know and trust in Jesus and the angels will rejoice the same as they do anyone else.

According to Calypso Louie, she probably should sue the CIA.

I do not assign credit or blame for disease to God. Saying that it is within God is one thing, asserting that he rewards or punishes with it is something else indeed.

It is called Vanity. Taking on oneself the authority to define God. It is the greatest of sins.

Here's a twist that relates this article to current events:

HIV-infected porn star had sex with actor who days later had sex with Sydney Leathers in her debut movie Weiner And Me

Please do not blame God for the sinful behavior of fools.

AIDS is the result of years of abuse of recreational drugs, particularly “poppers.” Funny thing about destroying your body with drugs: More drugs can’t save you from the consequences of your actions.

Yehova’s retribution is automatic; you do it to yourself!

This is kind of a silly claim, given that the Porn industry has been extremely pro-active regarding STDs. They test constantly, and shut down whenever there is a single positive. Sex workers are probably some of the safest people around who have more than one sex partner.

The porn industry is probably it’s own curse!

Sigh. Attributing such as “God’s Curse” is not much different than those who misquote the Bible to try to justify their own brand of evil. If it is “God’s Curse”, then one must also consider that all the straight and unsuspecting folks who get HIV because of an errant partner are also under the curse.
