Religion

In the article "Pope Benedict XVI says condoms will not solve Africa's AIDS problem, could make it worse", the issue of AIDS epidemic and the Pope’s strong opinion about how to prevent it can be controversial to the opinion of some morals, and not to mention cultures. Seeing as the article states that the catholic religion frowns upon premarital sex, it puts forth the selfish bias that abstinence is the only conclusion to the AIDS epidemic. This shows how religion can get in the way or blind side the obvious truth. The opinions of the Pope are one sided and are stubborn to some, because it’s not possible to stop people from having sex, especially if its native to their culture. The opinion of the Pope is supporting evidence of the fact that Religion can be a factor that contributes to what happens in everyday life. Religion often interferes with daily lives and the structure of what we think is “morally right or wrong” can be obscured by opinions such as these.
