I was thinking of starting a little company, I hope nobody takes offense to this.
The Catholic church seems to have a problem with promoting condoms in specially Africa, which is one of the reasons the Aids rates are still going up there.
So, I thought about a good way to spread the message of the Church, combined with spreading the message of safe-sex. Condoms with Bible verses printed on them.
Any ideas for good verses to put on the condoms?

"Be fruitful and multiply, and fill the earth." -- Genesis 9:1
Oh, I guess if your using a condom, you probably aren't going to be multiplying.

Aids rates are going up in Africa because the men blame the women for the problem and they believe that having sex with virgins will take their aids away.
That's why they rape babies in Africa.
They refuse testing because there's such a stigma. There are a whole lot of things that need to change in Africa (starting with their own beliefs) before they will be ready for condoms. It isn't Catholicism or any form of Christianity that is preventing their use of condoms. It is the lack of responsibility the men feel for the spread of the disease and the lack of value they place on women and children.

Damn it! I thought of that idea like 5 yrs. ago.
I was going to put the verse in Genesis where it says "The Lord blessed them and said be fruitful, and multiply." on the condoms, and maybe on like 1 in 1,000 print a verse that says something about condemning fornicators, just for shits and giggles.

They could only be clearly read once in full extention ....isn't that a bit too late?
If not, try Colossians 3:5
"Deaden, therefore, YOUR body members as respects fornication, uncleanness, sexual appetite."
The same verse is even better in the Contemporary English Version.
"Don't be controlled by your body. Kill every desire for the wrong kind of sex....."

Oh sure, the Pope is responsible for Aids in Africa. Duh?
I think it has a little to do with ignorance and sexual behavior but I'm probably wrong and you are right.
"The root of all evil", would work well though.

Not Biblical. But how about musical condoms during the festive season?
