STD's

Sexually transmitted diseases can make you sterile, limit and inhibit sexual joy in marriage, and even kill you. If you get an STD that makes you sterile, that means that whatever else you do in your life, you will never collaborate with God in the creation of an immortal being. Billions of years after everything around us has crumbled to dust, our children will still exist in this universe. People with STD’s frequently pay a price for their diseases in their marriages. Certain sexual practices may no longer be safe, and sex may be painful during outbreaks of certain incurable viruses. Last, but not least, sex can kill you. AID’s is a great plague that has killed millions and is expected to result in an estimated fifty million orphans in Africa. But let’s be clear about this: this entire epidemic was optional. Millions of people would still be alive today if they had followed some simple instructions from the book of Leviticus. By the way, AID’s is a new disease. I wonder when we will have another new STD? I wonder if this new disease will be potentially fatal, and if it will spread readily through normal, heterosexual practices. If HIV could spread as easily as gonorrhea, the death toll by now would probably be in the 100’s of millions.
