talking about how the AIDS virus is a punishment on the gay community for their “reprobate” lifestyle. It is apparent that he wants to use god for his argument of this disease as the cause. An anecdotal example he uses is of how, “God destroyed Sodom and Gomorrah primarily because of the sin of homosexuality.” (Falwell prg.6) He also repeatedly appeals to the Logos of the surgeon general’s authority on the topic commenting on how it could be “the worst ever plague in human history” (Falwell…
