Europe has a lower STD rate and most places in Europe doesn't have the same scrupulous moral codes we have but yet god didn't punish them with high AIDS rates and pregnancies? why does god only punish America and not the "morally loose" Dutch. :)

Because while you and your superior morals are busy trying to tell kids to abstain, the Dutch hand out condoms.

It isn't that God is punishing Americans, people are simply "reaping the rewards of their actions". Americans may have "scrupulous moral codes" that doesn't mean Americans are following those codes. The high incidence of Aids and other STD's shows this.

I don't assume God punishes entire nations.
And I don't think it is immoral if people express their sexuality.
And what is with the idea of 'moral codes' around sex? Meanwhile, the gov't and big business fleece people out of their money, and there is no outrage?
We have to accept the fact that we have choices. There would be a lot fewer STD's etc. if people were given training in safe sex at a young age. If people were given the information and access to the technology.

Because the dutch are smart enough to use condoms?
Do you really think that Americans have scrupulous moral codes?

God does not punish people.
People punish themselves by not listening to the commandments. It is a very well knowen thing that there are like 30 stds known to man.
America is very blessed because we have freedom of religion, education and agency were other countries really dont.
AIDS very well might be one of the plagues let out as spoken of in Revelations. Who knows. But everyone who gets it dies right? Hepititis B they usually die too.
I think americans are more accountable then oother countrys period.

No. God isn't punishing American for unlawful immigration. we are punishing ourselves fairly precise thanks. unlawful immigration is only a reaction to human beings way of life. no one needs to get their palms dirty or artwork the hours that illegals ARE prepared to artwork. Do you want your weekends and damage day? i am going to guess you do. notwithstanding the artwork that desires to be finished, nonetheless desires to be finished. And someone's' going to might want to do it. certain that artwork would nicely be ugly and could no longer pay o.k. yet though that's what makes present day society tick. We used to have a waiting and prepared provide of workers in this united states of america that does no longer imagine two times about operating, for say, a farmer. yet those days having a teenager get a job and not using a school preparation or a minimum of a nicely rounded pastime recurring, (activities), or social agenda, ( putting round or knocking up the girlfriend), is turning out to be unthinkable. Get off your *** American, or your going to pay dearly for it. and do not ignore to contemplate that the conventional age of the yankee farmer is interior the mid to overdue 50's. and they opt to take damage day too.

God warned us about having sex before we are married, sex with multiple partners, eating certain foods, speaking badly against brothers and sisters (in Christ), killing others, wanting other people's stuff...I could go on and on with this. God did punish the morally loose with Rita and Katrina. (Or so I think).
He also is punishing us for not listening to Him; that why we have all of these STD's and obesity and diabetes, and other diseases. He is trying to teach us to stop doing our wicked ways and follow Him, most people who get STD's don't even understand that...

...There are consequences for anyone who disobeys God's Word. If people would think about their actions (like fornication and adultery), they would soon come to realize that you are opening yourself up to syphilis, gonorrhea, other STD's, and AIDS. Quite often there are consequences to sin, and these can make you sterile or kill you early.

...Think! God's word is not only the right thing to do, it's the smart thing to do.
**
...I urge you to believe on the Lord Jesus Christ and be saved. (Acts 16:31)
...Whosoever will, may come.
*****Additional******So abstinence doesn't work? Those who practice it are not getting the diseases and unwanted pregnancies. Why won't people exercise self-control?

There's much you don't know and aren't able to perceive. This isn't real punishment. To whom much is given, much is expected. Governments keep a surface appearance and they're not about to tell you what their ailing house is suffering from. The Dutch have considerable problems directly linked to their doings. Be assured.

God didn't punish us! All of these things are the results of our sinful actions. People around the world know us very well for our ungodly society. It explained why!
