If I were the enemy

If I were the enemy I would create a horrible disease affecting the poor, marginalized, and underprivileged in society.

I would create the disease so it would slowly destroy the immune system of healthy people in 6-8 years so that no one would know they are infected until too late.

I would create the disease to mimic individual DNA so that a vaccine couldn't be developed.

I would create the disease so that it would affect young moms and dads who then couldn't care for their children and of course having the side benefit of wiping
out the most productive population in society.

I would create the disease so that it could be transmitted to babies in order to provide them with a slow, painful death within 5 years.

I would let it affect a continent that only produces 1% of the economic productivity in the world so that no one else would really care.

I would create it to be a sexually transmitted disease.
Then I would let it be discovered in gay people first to ensure a stigma would be attached to it.
By that time most Christians could justify not caring and they wouldn't get involved.

And of those Christians who decided to get involved I would distract them with controversial issues about sex and condoms and make them question their own morality and those with the disease.
I would distract them by providing a ton of conferences for them to go in order to make them feel like they are doing something.
I would ensure that Christian leaders would come out saying that it is God's judgment on those awful, immoral people.

And of the Christians who are helping and trying to make a difference I would have the other Christians judge them, not listen to them, and discriminate against them.

And then I would call it HIV/AIDS and sit back and watch 14,000 unassuming people get infected every day.

It would be one of my greatest accomplishments in history.

so true. Thanks for trying to shed light on this topic. Takes me back to a cardboard "house" in Kenya where I sat with a mom dying of AIDS, listening to her talk about what would become of her children when she was gone... trying not to cringe when she touched me... then mentally berating myself for feeling that way. Gosh it feels like a lifetime ago, but thanks for reminding me. May I never forget!
