but many people are afflicted with pedophile thoughts that they cannot control. Usually brought on through their upbringing

The perfect explaination of why it is wrong.

When a child is involved with sex with a parent - it forever changes their views of what sex is. The same is true of adult/child sex - it forever changes the meaning of sex from a heterosexual experience for marriage and raising a family to the search for more young people that they can abuse for their pleasure.

Any people seeking deviancy will find it. In addition, they will bring about the ruin of society as has been displayed in other civilizations that became involved in deviancy, orgies, etc.

Studies have shown that many children that were molested have gone on to live normal hetero sexual lives. Now there is no way to really know the effects, but groups like NAMBLA have adults speaking out that claim they were sexually active with an adult as children and that they function normally today. Are they just being paid to say that, who knows, but my point is, even if studies prove that children can be sexually active with adults and still suffer no ill effects (according to society) that does not change the position of my religious beliefs. I will always know it is wrong because God told us it is. I don't need to rely on stupid studies and statistics.

The problem is that our society has turned sex into a recreational activity, to be shared with whoever. It is no longer a sacred act between a husband and wife. So if our society continues to treat sex as a simply recreational activity then it is only a matter of time that people start to say, "Why must we deprive children of this fun?", which they are saying. And, if you take the religious aspects out of it then you could actually have an argument that it doesn't harm kids. As you said, it changes their view on sex, well if sex is just a recreational activity, same as riding bikes, then they will just hold that same view their whole life. And according to liberals, there is nothing wrong with that.
