Jesus would be spinning in his empty grave!!

Very true, however children don't have the ability to consent to those kinds of relationships. A responsible person with those inclinations will choose not to act on them, because they understand that it's not really possible for a child to enjoy or accept their advances rationally like an adult would. It becomes criminal when they just start touching whoever they please, with or without their consent, thinking only of their own pleasure, rather than that person/child's well-being.

No one ever thinks of the other person's well-being. :( We're all self-centered, violent, aggressive, and emotional-people.

We often contradict our

beliefs, almost like religion.

We are sinful, and always think of

pleasure.

As people, you, i, my friend, his friend, billions, on and on.

We are just lustful, and are not-truly concerned of whom we hurt, young or old, baby or preteen.

=(

By why can't children adopt, as we?

Adults often are ready, and say: "Yeah! let's go", but what says children don't think that way also.

I think pedophilia is just like being gay, it's normal, but we've never lived in the land of the free, we live in the land of the fee.

We enslave ourselves to not be free.

I think the pastor should have his free-rights, and that he should be permitted by state and law, to do as he will.

Exactly what straight, gay, or anyone would do, black, white, etc.

That church probably did those kids a favor in the long run. They don't need to be near that pedophile or brainwashed by that church's bullshit religion.

*cave :D

[supurdude11]

So u should ban the sex offender not the kids

[supurdude11]

Thats the most irresponsible and stupid decision. Fucking crazy

[jrjr18181]

Its a win win situation lol

yuk

[Mike Edgerton]

Doesn't look like a tough choice to me, it looks like a wrong choice.

I managed to escape the indoctrination after 18 years. One of the hardest things is dealing with the damage of building a new identity. When you are indoctrinated, your entire identity is based off what the church tells you to do. When you leave the church, your entire world view crumbles and you have to start from scratch because it is something you weren't able to do growing up. I am happy for those kids.
