Jesus was an AIDS victim

A South African pastor has caused outrage by preaching a sermon entitled "Jesus was HIV positive".[/url]


Some Christians accuse the reverend of portraying Jesus as sexually promiscuous


Reverend Xola Skosana said his sermon was designed to combat the stigma surrounding HIV and Aids.
"My responsibility as a pastor is to paint a picture of a God who cares for people and wants the best for them, not who judges them and is ashamed of them," he told the Daily Mail and The Guardian.
The reverend preaches at the non-denominational Way of Life church in Khayelitsha, near Cape Town, a township with one of the highest rates of HIV in South Africa.
Last month Skosana, who has lost two of his sisters to Aids, underwent an HIV test in front of his congregation, along with more than 100 young people from the township.
His approach has been praised by Aids campaigners in South Africa.
But some Christians have accused him of portraying Jesus as sexually promiscuous.


Former president Thabo Mbeki fought the claims of Aids campaigners

"They're saying you can't reconcile Jesus and Aids," he said.
"But in many parts of the Bible God put himself in the position of the sick and the marginalised," the reverend said.
He has called for more churches to address the issue of HIV in their sermons to try to end the stigma surrounding the virus.
The Catholic Church in the country has avoided discussion of Aids, while continuing to oppose the use of condoms.
An estimated 1,000 people a day die of Aids-related illnesses in South Africa.
The nation is still working to correct the damage done by the years of "Aids denialism" under the leadership of former president Thabo Mbeki.
Mr Mbeki, who was ousted from office in 2008, delayed the roll out of life-saving anti retro-viral drugs, while his health minister suggested a diet of beetroot and garlic could cure the virus.

Lol!

Everyone has AIDS!
AIDS AIDS AIDS!
AIDS AIDS AIDS AIDS AIDS AIDS!
Everyone has AIDS!

And so this is the end of our story
And everyone is dead from AIDS
It took from me my best friend
My only true pal
My only bright star (he died of AIDS)

Well I'm gonna march on Washington
Lead the fight and charge the brigades
There's a hero inside of all of us
I'll make them see everyone has AIDS

My father (AIDS!)
My sister (AIDS!)
My uncle and my cousin and her best friend (AIDS AIDS AIDS!)
The gays and the straights
And the white and the spades

Everyone has AIDS!
My grandma and my dog 'ol blue (AIDS AIDS AIDS)
The pope has got it and so do you (AIDS AIDS AIDS AIDS AIDS)
C'mon everybody we got quilting to do (AIDS AIDS AIDS AIDS AIDS)
We gotta break down these baricades, everyone has
AIDS! x 20

Don't mean to put a dampener on the comedy here, but that idea was pretty cool. The reason i like it is it's actually helpful what he said and also pisses off hardline Christians.....

I wonder how many deaths from AIDS the Catholic church is responsible for....

It's a ploy to sell condoms for the second coming

That's rubbish. Everyone knows HIV came from a us marine shagging a monkey in Vietnam, that had been frozen in an ice Berg.

( or something like that anyway.)

I remember we floated a similar idea in religion class in school. Said he would have hung around with hookers and drug addicts if he came back and would, in all likelihood, have contracted AIDS or some other such disease. 4 of us were kicked out of the class for 3 months for that theory.
Happy days.
