Whoa!  Jim, where in the heck do you come off denouncing homosexuality
and saying it is UNNATURAL and WRONG?  I think perhaps, that you mixed
up terms.  maybe a homosexual did do something that would *greatly* 
increase his chances of getting AIDS (read:  BOFU), but I don't think
that you or any other person has the right to call it "wrong".  

Don't inflict us with your personal religious (can you really call
a closed minded individual "religious?") beliefs.  Keep them to
yourself.  I don't think anyone *deserves* to get AIDS (except for
that bitch I dated about a year ago...).  Admittedly, to me, having
anal-sex with another man seems disgusting to me, but that's
my PERSONAL opinion.

A side note on religion:  I forgot who it was, but someone said, "A
religious man is someone who seeks the truth and will accept it,
even if doesn't like it."  I don't consider people who think
they KNOW the truth to be religious.
