When I hear pedophile, I automatically assume they've been caught and charged. I've never really given much thought to how many known pedophiles there are who haven't committed the crime of pedophilia. I guess there must be support groups?
Jeez, man, that's really a tough nut to crack. I don't want to have sympathy for them, but that puts me in the same boat as theists condemning homosexuality. It's genetic, but they don't have the right to pursue their happiness the way heterosexuals and the LGBT community do; I guess you don't get much worse hands delt to you, but damn it's hard to feel bad. And something scares me about letting known pedophiles who haven't committed the crime be free; you see how well abstinence works for priests.
I don't see attitudes changing on pedophilia any time soon, but who knows? Maybe this will be the frontier that defeats me in my old age that'll have the young ones calling me a grumpy conservative nutcase.
Will it be dropped from the psychiatric disorder list the same way homosexuality has?

I can't remember where this verse is from, I think it got removed from canon:
"I don't hang around with mostly men because I'm gay. It's because men are better than women. Better trained, better equipped...better. Just better! I'm not gay."
For context, this is the previous verse:
"Hi Jesus" -robvalue
