fears that spread death

in the november 27th to december 3rd, 2004 edition of the economist, an article entitled, "the fear that spreads death" proclaims that aids/hiv is rampant in jamaica because of fear of prejudice rather than fear of the disease itself:

and fear there is aplenty. powerful evangelical churches spread an unforgiving gospel; and while they promise sinners suffering in the afterlife, others are more than ready to offer it in the hear and now...(p 42)

in this article, this is the only time that evangelical churches are mentioned. not one church is identified, and not one example is provided of the church's offering of suffering in the here and now... instead the article delineates police examples, healthcare examples, reggae dance hall examples and even labor party examples of hatred, violence, and prejudicial behaviors against those with aids, whether homosexual or heterosexual victims...

once again, a reporter has failed to be objective about christians...
