UK doctors advised gonorrhoea has turned drug resistant

QuoteUK doctors are being told the antibiotic normally used to treat gonorrhoea is no longer effective because the sexually transmitted disease is now largely resistant to it.

The Health Protection Agency says we may be heading to a point when the disease is incurable unless new treatments can be found.

For now, doctors must stop using the usual treatment cefixime and instead use two more powerful antibiotics.

One is a pill and the other a jab.

The HPA say the change is necessary because of increasing resistance...

So is this evolution in action or God re-designing an STD to punish sinners?

Obviously, it's to punish sinners.
(Nevermind the fact that if a pregnant woman has it and gives birth, it can cause her baby to go blind! That baby should have thought about that before it decided to be born to such a sinful mother!)
"We've thought of life by analogy with a journey, with pilgrimage which had a serious purpose at the end, and the THING was to get to that end; success, or whatever it is, or maybe heaven after you're dead. But, we missed the point the whole way along; It was a musical thing and you were supposed to sing, or dance, while the music was being played.
