Silliness blaming this stuff on God. Atheists mostly have this covered -- we sleep around but have the money to buy condoms and the sense to use them. So God doesn't punish people for having sex. It's just a fact that having unprotected sex with strangers is risky. And guess who is at the greatest risk in the US? Ignorant teenagers who went through "abnistence-only sex non-education" ? You know, the ones who live in the most religious parts of the country? In places where they teach the truth about prophylaxis and contraception teenage pregnancies and STD infection rates are much lower.

What's the point to answering this if you're already bigoted and just give the MHO to the person that most directly portrays your point of view?
What do you want us to say? Yes, God's punishing us?
No - std's are just bacteria that spread in a certain particular way. They're just another form of life and their existence has no greater meaning.
No. That's what protection is for. A lot of the pictures in the above post seem to be shaming women for being promiscuous, not about STD's. If you're gonna shame for having lots of sex- shame both sexes. Or neither- that's just way easier.
You can have sex once and get an STI. you can have sex everyday day and never contract anything.
No, it is not a punishment from a higher power.
No because you can sleep with someone just that one decide to do it with a condom and not know that they had been around the block Avenue and blouvard many times and then ur at the clinic wondering why and how. Sometimes you don't have to bed hop it can be brought home
No, it's natures way of trying to neuter the stupid.

No, not really, considering married couples can get STD's, all it takes is for one partner to be born with something (like HIV) or to have had an experience where they contracted something and was unaware.
C) Nope, that's the consequences you face for making wrong choices. You can stop at any moment before hopping into bed with someone else.
A mistake is forgetting your keys. Getting naked with randoms is not a mistake.You can catch an STD even if you are not promiscuous. So no I do not think so, though what frightens me is just how ignorant people are to infections like herpes and chlamydia (two common forms of STD's).
People really need to think about the effects that STD's can have on their health. Is having a brief period of sexual pleasure really worth a life time of dealing with outbreaks of herpes?Well christians seem to believe just about any desease is a punishment from god, so why make an exception here?
But what are diseases really? It's bacteria and other organisms messing with your well working cells. But eventully their host will die and so will they so they need to find a way to jump to a new host, and well the bacteria responsible for stds found a good one.
It's always an arms race. With widely available condom now, maybe they'll be extinct in a few decadesYes, God looked down and saw that people were enjoying sex and having a good time, "well" he thought "I'll need to put an end to that"...
Lesbians have lower STD transmission rates that hetero couples and gays have the highest rates of transmission - is God a closet Misandrist?Well it's not really fair to lump everyone into the same category. What if you are in a monogamous relationship, but your partner cheats? Then you find out they slept with someone who could potentially be carrying something? That's a scary thought, and I realize that's not the case for the majority. But some people did nothing to deserve getting the std. Just saying.
STD's were made due to poor human choices with productive organs, its been around centuries. Its not a punishment, many people can get them in marriage as well. Some were even born with them, its human
If STIs are a punishment for being sexually promiscuous, then what is the crime of childhood cancer patients?
I am Christian and I believe in God with all my heart. But I know He will never punish a man or a woman in such a way. Contrary, He gives them a chance, heals them in every way, and forgives them. People get such diseases because of consequences from their actions. Get check someone if you're going to have sex with them.
Is swine flu the punishment for touching too many door handles?
Viruses and bacteria are living organisms - they adapt to survive and grow like everything else. Human contact = possibility of disease.I don't believe God punishes people like that
God is kind, God is forgiving and he has more work to do than to annoy some people that are sexually too active.God doesn't exist it's the price you pay for sleeping around AND being stupid enough to not wear a condom
nope it's gods punishment for us not only eating animals but fucking them too
They are nature's punishment. We are a supposed to be monogamous. Because our offspring takes so long to develop and so stability in the parents is necessary
No if that was the case, virginal Rape victims wouldn’t be capable of getting an std.
Their inability to make better decisions is the cause of it.

No, Jesus died for your sins so now you can do whatever you want.
You're kind of putting the cart before the horse. Promiscuity is bad because of STDs, not vice versa.
