In the original ten commandments God warned do NOT have premartial sex. (Thou shal not commit fornication) He didn't do it to keep something good from mankind. He knew there would be severe consequences. I'm not judging. It's God's word, not mine. So for every action there is a reaction. God is pure love. He created men and women with the right parts to have sex. But it is to be between husband and wife. So he is a loving God, trying to protect his children from things they knew nothing about.

I personally have never heard the argument that the Catholic church is to blame for Aids in Africa because they teach abstainence.

I never heard that one before that the Catholic Church is to blame for the spread of Aids in Africa. I agree with what Catie, said, and yes it is the people who must take responsibility for their actions.
