Allah on a hot tin roof! You are being perverse. What the heck are you talking about, "move the argument over to other nations"?
You said, "HIV is mainly spread through people who are promiscuous, with the highest concentration being in homosexuals."

That's not what you said, here, let me remind you.
"So, it is wrong to punish gay people, it is merely our job to educate them. The Muslim countries who do so are under wrong assumptions."
Name one Muslim country that in your opinion is ruled by true Islamic Law. If you can't then your...
Unless otherwise noted, the data above is from the CDC HIV/AIDS Surveillance Report: HIV Infection and AIDS in the United States and Dependent Areas, 2005.
Did you look at the world wide numbers?

What would we find if we were able to tract scientifically the overall religious fervor over the last 400 years? I'm wildly guessing that you...
Here is one persons take on Scott Atran's book, Amazon.com: In Gods We Trust: The Evolutionary Landscape of Religion (Evolution and Cognition Series): Books: Scott Atran
Atran "explains that religion is not an "entity", even though we publicly commit resources to it. Since it's not an entity...

ick ... I'd hate to live in your head .... lazy, judged, lazy ???
someday you aren't going to meet your own standards because you are human, I hope you go easy on yourself, that is the beauty of loving kindness
