Accuracy of religious document against condoms (5)
--------------------------------------------------
English Victorian Prudes
What Ras Bakul Manu refers to 'respectfully' as prudish English Vic-
torianism sounds remarkably like Biblical Christianity which thank-
fully is still practised in many parts of the world. The fact that it
'sounds unbelievable' is no surprise. For 2000 years people from
every culture and every age have chosen not to believe it, and not
just heterosexuals living in San Francisco.
Someone might one day be able to prove scientifically that practising
the sexual precepts of the Bible of a monogamous heterosexual rela-
tionship for life in the context of marriage is the most effective
antidote to the spread of AIDS but I suspect many people would find
that unbelievable as well simply because they don't want to believe
it.
Its a matter of faith in the end but faith in the Creator who made us
and the guidance He gives for our daily conduct looks to me, even as
a healthcare professional, more dependable than the post-modern (and
incidentally very old-fashioned) teaching of doing what is right in
one's own eyes...... as long as you wear a condom.
