The notion that AIDS is a vindictive act of God or a fault in the design of man's body is misdirected. The only sure way to avoid AIDS and other STDs is to follow God's rules for sexual conduct. Prostate Cancer and the Papilloma Virus. Discussions of why God allows diseases like cancer always end up with the question of the source of the disease being a key issue. If man causes the disease or calamity, most people are rational enough to realize that God cannot be held accountable.
Most cancer is man-caused.
Between our irresponsible use of chemicals, nuclear energy, and poor diets, we are the cause of much of what happens. It has been known for a long time that women who contract the human papilloma virus have a high risk of cervical cancer. There is now considerable evidence that this same virus can cause prostate cancer in men. STDs are a major health problem in the world today, and all STDs can be controlled if people would simply follow God's directive for sexual relationships. The Old Testament ordinance of circumcision has been a target of atheists and skeptics for several centuries at least.
