The Christian church is still, to this day, directly responsible for thousands dying in Africa because they condemn condom use and that adds thousands of HIV/AIDS victims every day. So no, it's hardly just a thing of the past.
I don't think the church is responsible for people sleeping around casually. In fact, that's what they try to teach people not to do. If you don't want HIV/AIDS, why don't you avoid intercourse with people unless you know they're clean? Granted, figuring out who does and doesn't have a disease in the 3rd world is harder than it would be elsewhere, however, all the more reason not to go out seeking a quickie, isn't it?
And just to make sure I don't get dragged into the rest of it; I, Socdemparty, do not actually care about the jokes Jim makes. I understand they are satirical and I am not offended, so I have no input on that matter and do not wish for it to be brought up with me.
