“I don’t give a crap about the reason...deserve a bullet”
“I don’t give a crap about the reason...deserve a bullet”
New title.
Pedophiles should be sterilized and sent to an island to live among themselves.
For the freaks and perverts the sky is now the limit.
So are murderers.
What’s the problem?
Now comes the effort to normalize child molesters.
The can’t help it. They were born that way. /s
Typical “ it’s not my fault, it’s my gene” nonsense.
It is conceivable, I suppose, that people are born with the inclination to rape children. OK, we all have our burden to bear. And they deserve sympathy, if that is so, but only until they actually rape a child.
All of us have an inclination to one sin or the other, be it lust for women, men, or children, addiction to drugs or strong drink, love of money, etc. It’s not the inclination for which one is brought to justice and punished. It’s how they handled the inclination.
If your desire is for little children, maybe you’d better remain a virgin.
I agree with the author — One should feel very sympathetic to the lead ball that will be crushed as it enters their brain and ends their abhorrent existence.
Liberals never fail at giving sympathy for the evil.. and contempt for the good.
This will not stop.
“For this reason God allowed their shameful passions to control them.”
Romans 1:26
As their growing lusts continue to overpower and consume them they will decend deeper into depravity.
They have a "civil right" to molest other peoples children. (I think we all saw this coming.)
When homosexuals "marry", they get to adopt their very own sex toys.
Evil: “The New Normal.”
They do NOT deserve sympathy!
The “born that way” argument has always left me cold. As an Orthodox Christian I believe we are all born with disordered passions, which, if we attempt to gratify them, lead us to sin. That particular instances of the disordering of the passions may be particularly grievous (e.g. an inborn ill-temper so hot that unrestrained murder will be the outcome, or an inborn lack of empathy that leads one so afflicted to all manner of sin by regarding his fellow men as mere means, rather than ends, or, yes, some inborn trait which at puberty blossoms into a temptation toward sodomy or pedasty or raping little girls) does not make the actions committed by yielding to the temptations inflicted by these extreme examples of the disordering of our passions any less sinful, or in cases where they not only are sinful but harm other persons or the social order any less worthy of criminalization.
Those who accept the Augustinian understanding of the Fall are free to reword what I just wrote in terms of Original Sin instead of the disordering of the passions, but either way — as I wrote it or Westernized — that is the Christian counter-argument to the “born that way” argument, not “no they [or you] weren’t,” or “there’s no evidence,” which seems to be the way most folks here want to argue against it. Remember the study of the biological basis of behavior is in its infancy: Christian morality does not stand on so weak a foundation that the discovery of a “gay gene” and an epigenetic switch that turns it on (to account for the imperfect concordance between identical twins) should overthrow the Old Covenant declaration that male-on-male anal intercourse is an abomination, or the discovery of a genetic mechanism coding for extreme selfishness would make lack of charity any less blameworthy.
I actually do feel some sympathy for them, but they need to be kept away from children, by force if necessary. You can have sympathy, but still do what you have to do.
I love my dog. If she got rabies, I would feel sympathy for her, but I would not hesitate to take her out back and shoot her.
The primary difference between a pedophile and a rabid animal is that a pedophile has free will. If they are unable or unwilling to exercise their free will to do whatever is necessary not to act on their perverse impulses, then they should receive no more consideration than I would give my rabid dog.
It is worth studying them to see if we can find ways to prevent others from turning out the same way. At the same time, our primary concern has to be to protect any potential victims. That means either life time incarceration of convicted pedophiles without any possibility of parole or taking them out back and shooting them.
