    fundie pentacostal lunatics have practically taken over society and govt in some african countries

    is this whole circumcision prevents aids thing just a scam to try to transform the culture into a more prudish "godly" one by making sex less appealing (since the price of admission is getting part of your dick cut off, or be labeled as unclean) not to mention the reduction in sensation. I smell a fundie "abortion causes breast cancer" style scam. Think maybe "some people" are a little less sceptical of this situation than would normally be the case because it involves males.
