@BoyChibi - You are correct, a blood transfusion is when blood is transferred from one human to another. These days, donated blood is tested for HIV. But before a lot was known about HIV and AIDS, they didn't test blood, and as a result a lot of people were infected from blood transfusions.

@GodVlogger just remember, your limited opinion of God does not make God. peace

@PInk77W1 From your comments it seems that you are a lost cause, so I will spare you further replies. I wish you well. Peace.

@GodVlogger God gives u a brain, and u use it to attack God! Really? ... Really?

[PInk77W1]

@GodVlogger suffering here is nothing compared to eternity with God. With all due respect, u dont seem to understand. As St Francis said "better to suffer necessity, than make the first compromise." You seem to b siding with the compromisers. The catholic church says it is better than we all starve to death than one of us commit the least sin. You on the other hand dont seem to b concerned at all with sin. U keep bringing up childbirth pain. Many women have had 20plus kids willingly. try again

@PInk77W1 So for all the human women who have suffered and even died giving birth, with these terrible results directly being caused as a vengeance of your god (per you and your bible), you think that is good? A nice reminder of eternity? (where your bible tells us that for the vast majority of humans they will continue to be tortured forever, via the system your god set up) And you call this god of yours "ALL GOOD"? Really?... Really?

[PInk77W1]

@GodVlogger first of all Adam and Eve were warned not to sin. Second of all Adam and Eve were warned by a God who is ALL good. Every sin ever committed against an all good God has 2 effects. Eternal and temporal. You seem to be dwelling on the pain and catholics dwell on the ALL good God. That is y we call the original sin. oh happy fault. God continues to inflict pain to remind us of eternity.. The best thing that ever happened to Magic Johnson was to get AIDS.. a reminder to him..

@PInk77W1 OK, then. If you think that I am only giving ONE side of the story, please give yours... Why does your god (according to your bible) continue to inflict painful labor/delivery/childbirth on women for thousands of years as a punishment for a sin of one woman (Eve), and impose that suffering on our modern day mothers/sisters/daughters/etc?­?? I would be VERY interested to hear your "side" of that bible story/myth. Do you disagree with your bible, and if not can you justify such vengeance?

[PInk77W1]

@GodVlogger your very funny... and u only tell one side of the story... surprise surprise. Wacko thinking

[GodVlogger]

@PInk77W1 You say that The catholic church believes suffering is good. and re: "having a baby, suffering involved"... I would point out that according to your church/god/bible, the suffering that women have during labor/delivery/childbirth is INTENTIONAL TORTURE invented and imposed by your god, as a result of a temper tantrum he had upon Eve for eating a fruit, and he IMPOSES that suffering ON PURPOSE for thousands of years on ALL WOMEN even those not guilty of that sin. Wacko ideas.

@GodVlogger ji never said let the poor starve. Catholics do more for the poor than anybody. Its called a "paradox" its called a "mystery" what i said was The catholic church believes suffering is good. Like getting a degree from Harvard, there is suffering involved, winning an olympic gold medal, suffering involved, having a baby, suffering involved, going to work to get a pay check, suffering involved, Joining the MARINES suffering involved. Running for President of the United States. suffering
