'Paedophilia is natural and normal for males'[W:264]

Re: 'Paedophilia is natural and normal for males'

Reading the story helps.

  1. And it came to pass at that time, that Judah went down from his brethren, and turned in to a certain Adullamite, whose name was Hirah.
    [*]And Judah saw there a daughter of a certain Canaanite, whose name was Shuah; and he took her, and went in unto her.
    [*]And she conceived, and bare a son; and he called his name Er.
    [*]And she conceived again, and bare a son; and she called his name Onan.
    [*]And she yet again conceived, and bare a son; and called his name Shelah: and he was at Chezib, when she bare him.
  2. And Judah took a wife for Er his firstborn, whose name was Tamar.
  3. And Er, Judah’s firstborn, was wicked in the sight of the Lord; and the Lord slew him.
  4. And Judah said unto Onan, Go in unto thy brother’s wife, and marry her, and raise up seed to thy brother.
  5. And Onan knew that the seed should not be his; and it came to pass, when he went in unto his brother’s wife, that he spilled it on the ground, lest that he should give seed to his brother.
  6. And the thing which he did displeased the Lord: wherefore he slew him also.

Actually reading the bible would help in cases like this. Thank you.
 
Re: 'Paedophilia is natural and normal for males'

It is contrary to the nature of human sexuality.

No it isn't. To steal a phrase, it's having sex with someone you love.
 
Re: 'Paedophilia is natural and normal for males'

It separates sexual pleasure from the primary purpose of sex.



Children should not be created out of wedlock.



When I refer to the nature of human sexuality, I refer to the end which it naturally pursues, not to the common upstage, if that is contrary to the designed end.



He was killed for contraception. The penalty for failing in the duty of a brother, was public humiliation, not death.

He wasn't really killed. He didn't exist. It's just another story in that book of old stories.
 
Re: 'Paedophilia is natural and normal for males'

This makes one wonder.

So far as I know, the most generous estimates suggest that as much as 10% of the population may have homosexual inclinations. More realistically, it's probably closer to 1% or 2% or so.

This article claims that “At least a sizeable minority of normal males would like to have sex with children”. “A sizeable minority” is a rather vague estimate; less than half, but certainly more than the 1% or 2% or even 10% that are homosexual.

So,if this article is to be believed, an inclination toward pedophilia is more prevalent than an inclination toward homosexuality.





Well, it's the result of the general decay of sexual morality in a society. Homosexuality is one form of immorality that is coming to be accepted, after premarital sex; as a stepping stone toward increasing tolerance of other forms of immorality yet to come. It appears that pedophilia may be one of the next such steps. Really, none of this is about any individual form of immorality, but the bigger picture of overall moral decay.

Who are you and where are your reading glasses? Pedophilia is very commonly found among the most morally certain religious communities, just as it is found beyond such dogma. Moral decay is a lazy explanation for anything in our world and is hopelessly ignorant of history. What has changed is not human sexuality, what has changed is that we actually give a damn about children now.

It's only been within the last hundred years or so that children have been viewed as other than little adults. Not too long ago, an American or British family with too many mouths to feed would commonly allow their children to be boarded in the homes of the wealthy where young girls cleaned for a living but were also "available" for the will of the master without ANYONE calling it moral decay or pedophilia, rather it was the prerogative of the wealthy. There were other jobs for children too, in factories and such, and at every turn, they were not safe from predators. It was the paradigm of poverty and plays out very much the same in other parts of the world today. Why do you think Thailand is such a common place for pedophiles to go for victims? Poverty and ignorance is the answer and religion doesn't make either better.

Those who attempt to link our society's acceptance of homosexuality to a tolerance of pedophilia are crazy. There is nothing immoral about two same-sex adults doing whatever they want, provided there is no power differential or threats involved. Children also deserve to be allowed to express their sexuality but not to have another's thrust upon them by force.

When the issue gets confused by ignorant, moralizing, pious homophobes, it puts children in MORE danger. I would trust my daughter with my gay friends before I would trust her around the closeted sexuality of Christians. When the religious make normal expressions of sexuality "perverse" then their own perverse sexuality gets normalized. In that way, the hysterically pro-child religious community actually create the conditions for what they claim to despise. Hmmmm.....how convenient.
