    Hmm... Judah. Not a muslim name. Could there be a personal agenda here ? I have just been looking at the recent pictures of him on news sits and you are quite wrong. The major symptom of AIDS is extreme weight loss. I know this because I watched it kill a friend over five years. Arafat showed no weight loss whatsoever. Now go away and hang your head in shame at such tactics. Elaine :rose: The tigress is here :-D

Then you should read what I wrote again: I don't think you have much evidence Judah Himango wrote: Regardless of whether anyone believes he died of AIDS, I think the truth is always a good thing. I can't think of a single case when the knowing a lie or nothing at all is inarguably better than knowing the truth, can you? Yes. Although I can understand your confusion given your background as an engineer. As an engineer and in the world of science, we look at ways to understand the world and solve problems. Any untruth is potential for disaster. But, once you step over into the social world - the world of psychology, myth, and heros - you understand that what is untrue can, in fact, play a positive role. Consider these situations: If Martin Luther King and Gandhi were rabid hedonists and hypocrites, would it be better for the world to know them as they are, or does their mythological character inspire people towards nonviolence in a way that would make the truth harmful? What if you discovered evidence that humankind had no free will and there was no afterlife? Further, what if you knew that this information would cause humanity to slump into a depression and lead towards humankind's extinction? Would it be better to inform people, or is there some benefit to allowing humankind to remain blissfully ignorant of their own position? (Personally, I don't believe in God or an afterlife, and I will argue for that point, but in my articles on the subject, I warn people. I know that there are people who would be happier in ignorance. Myself, I reach for truth, but don't inflict it on other people.) What if the love of your life cheated on you. Would it be better to know it or would it be better that you remained in ignorance. Now, of course, there are questions of "will it happen again?" which argue for truth. But, what if it won't happen again, and what if you are insecure and you would have a tendency to obsess about it to the point that you would become miserable and would no longer look at her again, ultimately leading to a life of solitude and loneliness? There are even more mundane situations where a girl asks you if she is fat. I have a friend who has problems with an eating disorder. When she asks me i

      Excellent post. I used to believe that knowing the truth was always better, that knowledge was always better than ignorance. I still have a very strong bias toward truth, but it is a kind of fundamentalism to believe that people are always better off to know the truth. Social experience strongly suggests otherwise. I also agree with you that it is human flaws and weakness that sometimes make ignorance better. Becoming better able to accept the truth is an important part of personal development. John Carson

            It's been known for some time now among parts of the Israeli public that Arafat was bisexual, and now rumors are spreading over the net and on some newspapers that Arafat may have died of the AIDS virus. The French Government will not release the reasons for his death or condition. It is to be kept a family secret. It does not take an expert to figure out what killed this man. The indications over the weeks were that his immune system was defective and that he suffered from some kind of virus. All the symptoms pointed to Aids (HIV). This is the only disease that disgraces and humiliates a person, and the only one that someone would want kept secret. Now stories are[^] appearing[^] that suggest his illness is being kept under wraps to preserve his apparent good standing in the world community. One Whitehouse rep is quoted as saying, "We know he has a blood disease that is depressing his immune system. We know that he has suddenly dropped considerable weight -- possibly as much as one-third of all his body weight. We know that he is suffering intermittent mental dysfunction. What does this sound like?" It'll be interesting to see if the French government will continue to supress the truth and keep it a secret.

              I agree, it is no sin to die of AIDS. I would argue, it is a sin to commit acts of homosexuality. Regardless though, I'm just curious about the cause of death, to think the purpose was to spread intolerance (of AIDS victims??) is foolish.

It is all too convenient that you place bisexual and AIDS in the same sentence and then go on to show your homophobia. Anyway. I am also curious about what he died from.

                  The man is dead. What difference could the cause of his death possibly make in the grand scheme of things? Would it not be better to let his family preserve whatever dignity they can, and simply move on. Is there any benefit to using his death to sow more seeds of hatred? Weren't enough sown during his life? Why would anyone waste time arguing with an accountant about anything?

                    Ah I understand your thinking now -- mention bisexual and AIDS in the same sentence, and that makes one a homophobe. I believe homosexuality is morally wrong. Call me names if that makes you feel better, but I believe it's wrong. I don't know if Arafat died of AIDS, but I'm curious to know if the rumors are true. As the Apostle Paul said in Romans 1:27: Likewise also the men, leaving the natural use of the woman, burned in their lust for one another, men with men committing what is shameful, and receiving in themselves the penalty of their error which was due.

Argh! Lies, lies, damned lies, and religious propaganda! Non-heterosexual people doesn't get HIV/AIDS any easier than heterosexual. It's when people don't practice safe sex when it venereal diseases are transmitted. It doesn't matter if where you put your wiener, what you put on it before sex is what matters. If Arafat was straight, curved or gay, I have no clue. Frankly, I don't care nor is it any of my business. -- Weiter, weiter, ins verderben. Wir müssen leben bis wir sterben. I blog too now[^]

                      It's a well known fact that AIDS is the largest disease among homosexuals. As Paul, an early apostle of Jesus said, "Likewise also the men, leaving the natural use of the woman, burned in their lust for one another, men with men committing what is shameful, and receiving in themselves the penalty of their error which was due."

                        It is also a well known fact that homosexual people tend to be more of the "swinger" type than heterosexual people. If you compare a heterosexual and a homosexual group, which are both as sexually active, you'll see that there's little or no difference. If HIV was more contageous for homosexual people, then I really want you to explain the situation in Africa for me. Gayness != HIV magnet.

                          No, but in the large majority of cases someone who got AIDS got it while sinning. If you maintain the standard christian life, of only sleeping with your husband/wife, no affairs, no pre-martial sex, and no divorce/remarriage; your risk of getting AIDS is almost non-existance. (There should also be a part about needle sharing in there) Note that few who call them themselves christians live up to that standard. I don't know exactly what muslims believe, but as I understand it, their teachings would also prevent AIDS.

                                God is the only defense I need, thanks though. Your belief, while ignorant and incorrect, is odd -- you believe that Bible believers are ignorant to begin with, and only use the Bible as a backup for that belief. I can tell you that the truth isn't as you see it -- we believe these things are wrong because they are written in Scripture, that is why we stand up for them and speak out against those that say otherwise. I promise you that I, personally, base my beliefs and moral foundation 100% on Scripture. My belief that homosexuality is wrong is based totally on Scripture, not on any personal ignorance or vendetta against gays as you'd like to believe. It is only when based on Scripture that we have an absolute moral standard -- otherwise it is natural for people to take the slippery slope of moral relativism that is rampant today. Ah yes, the idea that "everything is ok" and nothing is immoral, and anyone who speaks out against immoral things will be labeled a bigot, a homophobe, a heretic of secularism. Reminds me of the Dark Ages, only this time the tables are turned.

                                  God is the only defense I need, thanks though. Your belief, while ignorant and incorrect, is odd -- you believe that Bible believers are ignorant to begin with, and only use the Bible as a backup for that belief. I can tell you that the truth isn't as you see it -- we believe these things are wrong because they are written in Scripture, that is why we stand up for them and speak out against those that say otherwise. I promise you that I, personally, base my beliefs and moral foundation 100% on Scripture. My belief that homosexuality is wrong is based totally on Scripture, not on any personal ignorance or vendetta against gays as you'd like to believe. It is only when based on Scripture that we have an absolute moral standard -- otherwise it is natural for people to take the slippery slope of moral relativism that is rampant today. Ah yes, the idea that "everything is ok" and nothing is immoral, and anyone who speaks out against immoral things will be labeled a bigot, a homophobe, a heretic of secularism. Reminds me of the Dark Ages, only this time the tables are turned.

The difference between now and then is that we now possess knowledge and facts. Homosexual people are not more susceptible to HIV than heterosexual people because of their sexuality. How hard is that to understand? Does it have to be written in the bible before you can accept that as truth? Or is earth still flat in your eyes? -- Weiter, weiter, ins verderben.
