Atheist Blames Mother Theresa for Misery.

And yet - it is a demonstrable fact that if you abstain you have a far lower chance of either contracting a STD or of getting or getting someone pregnant.
Bullshit. People can control their base instincts - it's what raises us above animals. If you cannot control yourself and rut like an animal - fine. But don't pretend like self control is impossible.

Libtards prove every day that they have no self control. :)

You hope to install that sort of self-control with a wag of the finger?

It's already installed. It's called the brain.
Claiming that people are mindless sex machines is just wrong.

Didn't Uganda have some success with a variant of this program, actually managing to lower the AIDS rates for a couple years, but when they changed the course of the education, they shot back up again. . .?

Wilbur just does not understand such things, if he only had a brain!

No - with education and social pressure.

Condoms and birth control have an empirically verified track record of reducing unwanted pregnancy and disease, ipso facto.

And yet they are not nearly as effective at both as simple abstinence. How many women can you point to who have gotten pregnant while abstaining from sex? How many can people contract STDs while abstaining from sex? In both cases - the empirical evidence is much greater in favor of abstinence.

Promoting absitence without birth control has an empirically verified track record of increasing the contraction of STD's along with unwanted pregnancy.

absitence? What's that?

true. and they assume that because they cannot control themselves - no one else can either.

One of the chief reasons why aids is so rampant in Africa is the mistaken idea that aids can be cured by sleeping with a virgin. EDUCATE people - and you will automatically have a drop in aids.

I have no idea what you're talking about :p

Regardless of the little statistics that wilbur loves to throw out, he has yet to show me a single person who, while remaining in abstinent, ever produced an unwanted child or contracted an STD that didn't involve forced intercourse or a medical mishap. The motivation behind the sexual education adherents is a desire for sex on demand with no responsibility for the consequences of choices made. I am pro-choice, but the choice I support is the one made a little sooner in the process so that later on a choice doesn't have to be made to kill a child. Likewise many who support abortion with no limitations tends to be a group of self aborbed individuals whose interest in their own hedonism trumps the life of the offspring they create and the health of those they exchange bodily fluids with.
