I scratch my head in bewilderment every time I hear a Christian
or the Christian community ask this question. Yes, of course we should support
AIDS research! I think one reason this question comes up so often is that some
Christians only see AIDS as a badge of improper sexual conduct. Even if that
were true, I see no reason it should preclude Christian involvement. Likewise,
it offers no compelling reason to act as God’s policemen or His executioners.
One thing that drew me to Christianity many years ago was the generosity and commitment of Christians to minister to the sick and to alleviate their suffering. I think the AIDS situation is a great opportunity for Christians to dedicate themselves to human service.
