It's ridiculous to give 'religious groups' taxpayer's money. If churches want to do work like this let their damn parishioners pay for it and not my tax dollars. Teaching abstinence to AIDS patients is not only asinine but a huge waste of money.
If the faith-based community doesn't like it, tough! They want tax dollars then the sons-of-bitches ought to start paying taxes!
Religious Groups Get Nearly a Quarter of Bush Administration AIDS Money, According to State Dept. President Bush's $15 billion effort to fight AIDS has handed out nearly one-quarter of its grants to religious groups, and officials are aggressively pursuing new church partners that often emphasize disease prevention through abstinence and fidelity over condom use. Award recipients include a Christian relief organization famous for its televised appeals to feed hungry children, a well-known Catholic charity and a group run by the son of evangelist Billy Graham, according to the State Department.
