What could be more reprehensible than televangelism? The answer: Christian Aid workers. Pictured here we find a couple of foolhardy American representatives of God and the all mighty dollar pictured with a plethora of third world children. These are the ones lucky enough not to be born with the HIV virus or in full-time employment. So what?
Well, for one, these meagre few have escaped the geneological stumbling block of AIDS -- which is ending up being more hereditary than infectious, in these parts of the world -- and are growing up happy, healthy and indebted CA workers for providing them with food, water and bibles... because, after all, what the developing world really needs is to be founded on as much foofaraw as that which got it in trouble and is keeping it in trouble.
AIDS in terms of natural selection means that the sinners die but the righteous prevail. However, we're still talking natural selection, which is Darwinian, and hence the xtians are up the ideological creek without a paddle. It ends up being a bit like saying medical science has given us heart surgery, it is a gift from the Lord... yeah, a bit like heart attacks being a gift from the Lord. Oh, but he moves in such mysterious ways.
Is it possible to vote God out? He's almost as bad as David Cameron!
