A South African pastor has provoked outrage after beginning a recent sermon with the claim that Jesus Christ was HIV-positive.

Wow what a claim. It is all just publicity seeking. But I suppose Jesus was a fictional character so any scenario can be applied!

Nor do they understand the whole splinter in a neighbor's eye when you have a log in your own eye thing.

Nor do they understand the whole do unto others thing.

Nor .....do I have to continue?

Someone needs to send this to that guy

The researchers compared the viral sequence from 1959 (the oldest known HIV-1 specimen) to the newly discovered sequence from 1960
