What a very Christian attitude.

 Neither the death penalty nor castration are on the table. Perhaps in Saudi Arabia and other bastions of  justice----After all, Sharia law is based on Mosaic law.

--I am so glad Christians are no longer allowed to burn people alive or kill them in other colourful ways..

I see you live by a double standard how atheist of you, without absolute standards you can pick and choose as you have in this thread. Little lunch said shoot him in the head and you gave no response to that statement, yet let a Christian propose something you believe you can pick at and you will without regard, how atheist of you. The man has ruined lives, surely you do not believe a pedophile stops with one child do you, nor has it been demonstrated they can be cured, so what use are they to society. You may enjoy having a double standard but in reality it shows your lack of concern on many levels.

Actually, there are paedophiles who are none practicing, so to speak.
They feel an attraction to children but they also understand the damage they'd do if they act upon those feelings.
The problem is that there is no help for these people, no therapy or group sessions, almost uncharted territory.
I believe paedophiles are born this way. 
We have a part of us that loves others in a romantic way and a part that is maternal and protective towards children.
Paedophiles have no boundary between these feelings and they can't help it.
But some paedophiles are also rapists and manipulators that understand the pain they cause but do it anyway, and that, in my opinion, is unforgivable.
I suppose a bullet to the head is a little strong.
I have an 8 yr old daughter and I spoke rashly whilst considering her, but hey, murder is a far worse crime when you think about it and we don't all wish them dead.
So far treatments have failed to curb the desire of paedophiles, but I think it's in society's best interests to keep trying, considering how hard it is to detect them.
