ERROR! DOES NOT COMPUTE!
President Bush’s $15 billion effort to fight AIDS has handed out nearly one-quarter of its grants to religious groups, and officials are aggressively pursuing new church partners that often emphasize disease prevention through abstinence and fidelity over condom use.
Award recipients include a Christian relief organization famous for its televised appeals to feed hungry children, a well-known Catholic charity and a group run by the son of evangelist Billy Graham, according to the State Department.
Rationale, anyone? Do they honestly think that $4 billion worth of missionary work (!) is going to change tens of thousands of years of human habit and human nature?
Oh, and make sure you check out the list of religious groups receiving money. It’s a little disturbing.
