![]() Partly so.
Forbidding sex is one of the forms of crowd control. Putting it simply - make sure that people see sex as something sinful and unclean, and then turn their repressed sexual urges into subconscious sadism. Then just give them a scapegoat from time to time - and voila. Their minds will justify the killing of innocent scapegoats (pariahs, heretics, witches) as necessary self-defence against "polluting" touch of evil, and in doing so, will reaffirm their allegiance to you by rationalising that you WILL keep them clean, if they will continue to adhere to your rule. |

![]() We need a new plague, and the cure be within stem cell research. Oy how fast they'll give it up.
Point being -- honestly... it's stupid and horrible to do that to people. It's sick to tell people that a natural process of life (and pretty much the end goal of life - children) is sinful and dirty. Encourage safe sex, not no sex. |

![]() Are you kidding?
Stem cell research? Ha. Keep on dreaming. There is very efficient, medieval, CHRISTIAN way of battling plague. And very simple. How? Kill all infected. And burn the plagued city to ashes. No need to worry, they are all martyrs, Lord will grant them a place in heaven. It`s better, then saving their lives with devil alchemy. Did not God commanded it`s their time by sending plague? ___ Do not underestimate religions. They are adepts at fighting fire with fire. |

![]() Said we needed one (never said I'm expecting one), and, if they kill all infected, and some of the followers are infected... one can only hope they get a hint. But of course, you're right. I see a bit of a problem with religion rising and killing people with this age of government. I know it's completely possible, and don't doubt that they would, but some government would step in and try and keep order -- or take advantage of the chaos.

![]() Again, you wish.
Economically, it`s more profitable to kill off the plague, then to heal it. Take a look around. Bird flu? Mad cow disease? Killed and burned. What makes you think humans will be somehow spared from same fate? When it comes to blows, there won`t be much hesitation, trust me on that. If there would be plague, raging crowds would burn and stone plagued to death just because they are plagued, and therefore a threat. Mercy? Compassion? Humanity? Don`t make me laugh. Crowd will sweep all of that aside and cry - "Don`t come close, you`ll infect ME!" No, if anything, plague will be used by religions to reinforce their systems. Great London plague? God-sent punishment for herecy and sins. Churches were BURSTING with donations during the plague. |

![]() Thank you very much for your detailed answer...this helped a lot.
On the other subject...I can't see christians consciously mass-killing other christians because they're infected with a plague. Then again, they do some pretty insane things for their god. Has anyone seen Jesus Camp?

![]() Yes.
And I did not meant, that specifically christians will kill specifically other christians about the plague. (Though I did mentioned, that christians employing such are described in the most historical records.) My point was, that christian denominations are most likely to support their members perpetrating such actions, while using the unfortunate circumstances to strengthen their own doctrine. Just to be completely in the clear - I did not said that atheists won`t kill to stop plague. They just won`t use this and some supernatural god as mutually-justifying concepts to ultimately excert theological control over people. |
