Lies about STDs

I recently watched an episode of Sexplanations on youtube. I generally like that channel but it seems that the host is spreading a lie about herpes. Not a huge one about the facts of the disease but more so about the "stigma" of STD's. She claims that herpes is stigmatized by the fact that it is sexually transmitted. I whole heartedly disagree! I wouldn't care if herpes could be caught by playing tennis, I'd still want to avoid it as much as possible. I wouldn't care if herpes affected the feet rather than the mouth and genitals. I'd STILL want to avoid it as much as possible. I feel like she's saying that not wanting herpes makes a person "sex negative" even if she doesn't outright say it.

Child Suicides

I just watched a youtube video by JaclynGlenn about a girl who hung herself at age 12 in order to "be with her father in heaven". This is an absolutely horrible story and even sadder it reminds me of my ex's daughter. The kid wanted to die when she was 5 or 6 years old because she wanted to go to Heaven. That is so fucked up. Then I think about how her mother is being a religious fanatic now. She's genuinely putting this child's life at risk for some stupid belief system from thousands of years ago. It just pisses me off that she would go along with something so dumb and who's to blame but her super paranoid husband. They've been watching too many youtube videos about conspiracy theory shit. Not only do they believe in the bible now but they also believe there are aliens in the US government. I literally can not think of anything more insane than Christianity but to add aliens into the mix is just so crazy I can't even express it. At this point I wouldn't even be surprised if they threw Elvis and Bigfoot into the mix. I don't want to be a back stabber but I feel like their daughter shouldn't be with them. The sad thing is that if she were adopted by another family there's a high likelihood of it being into another bunch of religious loons. She already had one set of foster parents that told her that Satan's angels would carry her away if she didn't listen to adults. This whole thing is such bullshit and it's child abuse. Unfortunately the society we live in says that it's reasonable to lie to children about such absurd things.
