Yeah, that's why you think the Earth is 6000 years old, demons can inhabit people, and that condoms are the devil.

@Mark 2000: Just for the record. The Catholic church does not teach that the earth is only 6000 years old. It is very interested in modern science (something that obviously isn't in the Bible because, you know, it wasn't invented yet). In fact, the Vatican recently had a conference on evolution and invited respected scientists and other great thinkers to attend and share their thoughts. As for condoms causing aids, there is documented proof that in areas of Africa where condoms are promoted, their is a much higher rate of aids then in places where abstinence is promoted (and it is obvious that if you have aids, you should abstain from sex). Condoms have approximately a 2% failure rate which means that for someone with aids, about every 50 times you have sex, you risk infecting your partner. It is simple logic.

@Mark 2000: The Vatican doesn't buy into that 6000-year lifespan, but as for the rest...

@AxCrusnik: Just because the condoms are "promoted" in Africa does not mean people are actually using them.
