1 "At that time the disciples came to Jesus, saying, Who is the greatest in the kingdom of heaven? 2 And calling to him a child, he put him in the midst of them 3 and said, Truly, I say to you, unless you turn and become like children, you will never enter the kingdom of heaven. 4 Whoever humbles himself like this child is the greatest in the kingdom of heaven. 5 Whoever receives one such child in my name receives me, 6 but whoever causes one of these little ones who believe in me to sin, it would be better for him to have a great millstone fastened around his neck and to be drowned in the depth of the sea.
Pedophiles are NOT born that way, they are created by other pedophiles abusing them as children.
Fortunately not all child sexual victims become pedophiles, but virtually all pedophiles were abused sexually or otherwise as a child.
Apparently pedophilia is ok if it’s your religion such as the so called muslim religion.
Whether or not the behavior is “Natural” it is also “damaging” to the victim, whose unalienable rights apparently don’t matter to the LA Times when it comes to pedophiles getting their jollies.
Not in a million years. They sure do spend an awful lot of time recruiting and indoctrinating. They push it in schools, tv, movies or government policy. People should laugh in their faces when they say they are born that way.
It's pure law-firm doublespeak, it's a legal argument intended to catch the imagination of a Supreme Court that once accepted essence as a dispositive legal quality in civil-rights cases dating back to the 1940's.
It's about a workaround to defeat democracy and the majority, and cosset perverts beloved of the upper class at the expense of said majority, who are cramped and disfigured by their antique, pre-modern, un-cosmopolitan moral codes not shared by the PTB who would very much like such codes to "go away".
I remember in the pre-feminist, pre-birth control days when the experts were positive that men had a stronger sex drive than women and women were just naturally purer the "fair sex". Now, the media are saturated with female raunch and even sex crimes against children originating from women. The experts were wrong; permission to act out, once granted, has become a tidal wave of female exhibitionism and one-up-womanship.
Mass hysteria is the closest I can come to describing the pernicious influence of the media and porn on today's society, and no one can fully shelter from it. Now "experts" are trying to weaponize pedophilia. It's a disgrace. Such thoughts might never cross the minds of at least 50%, if not 99%, of offenders if not for the unabating flood of porn, including the deliberate sexualization of children disguised as "education."
I remember our society before quite so many "first amendment rights" were articulated to include all kinds of filth. It was a better, safer and more humane place. Did I ever hear of sex crimes? Yes, in our rather large suburb abutting on of the nation's largest cities, there were three that I knew of up until I left home at 18. These days, that's a Sunday afternoon in any neighborhood, anywhere in the US, thanks to the smut on cyberspace and the airwaves.
It is ridiculous and dangerous to accept any aberrant behavior that one displays, solely on the basis of, “I was born that way.”
Where does it stop? “I was born to steal, to rob, to rape, to kill.”
This evil anti-social excuse for perverted behavior that, “I was born that way” should be confronted and dispatched with a recommendation that the person admit they are a sinner, as we all are, and ask for forgiveness from Jesus Christ.
