The problem of Paedophilia
#28
RE: The problem of Paedophilia
I think its pretty obvious that you don't get to choose your attractions. Whether it's a product of genetics or environment, if a person is attracted to children, I don't think that automatically makes that person a monster or immoral. Acting on those attractions, however, is a problem.

I think that having things like stories and cartoons is a slippery slope. Like an alcoholic hanging out at a bar. It would be like a normal person relying solely on pornography for sexual gratification. It's not enough, and soon enough, I think that constantly fantasizing about having sex with children turns to planning, which turns to acting out. Maybe not by rule, but I think it might put more children at risk.
"There remain four irreducible objections to religious faith: that it wholly misrepresents the origins of man and the cosmos, that because of this original error it manages to combine the maximum servility with the maximum of solipsism, that it is both the result and the cause of dangerous sexual repression, and that it is ultimately grounded on wish-thinking." ~Christopher Hitchens, god is not Great
