Reply #13: God needs many means at his disposal to punish the Heathen.

[Kailassa]

It is obvious to any committed Christian, (or Republican,) that anyone who contracts such a repulsive disease must be a thoroughly evil person, and actually deserve far worse than they are getting. Therefore, by helping such people, we are defying the will of God. This is proved by the fact that, in His great wisdom, He made so many diseases contagious, ensuring that those who cared for such sinners would end up sharing their afflictions.

Or, from a Buddhist viewpoint, it's just the karma they have earned, and if you alleviate it, you will prevent them learning necessary lessons.

Do I need sarcasm tags here?
