I always expect this to be controversial, but I think I've said previously that I sometimes feel bad for non-offending pedophiles (I refuse to use their 'virtuous pedophile' terminology) under the assumption that they've got a mental illness they may not want, and attempting to get help potentially puts them in a lot of reputational (or even physical) danger. Having such a secret, and being so loathed, must be stressful. It's probably difficult even to admit it to yourself, let alone a stranger.
Unfortunately, I am certain this push from within the left is not about treating mental illness. Like with everything else, it's about enabling it. It's about being "tolerant" and "inclusive" and "decent", and cracking the door open just a bit and then - whoops! You're a bigot if you object to your kids being leered at, exposed to some sick fuck's genitals, or even groped! Golly gee, how did THAT happen?
Society must not tolerate pedophilia. Whatever the leftist proposes in this regard MUST be viciously rejected. They have no sense of proportionality, decency or even sanity. They WILL sacrifice your children en masse to protect some freak's feelings and win good boy points.
I just don't want bad things to happen to pedos who want to get better, or else keep their sickness 100% to themselves. I may or may not be in the minority in that regard.
I agree with you. As someone who finds the idea of telling a therapist about legal but weird fetishes to be an idea that makes me feel nauseous, I can't imagine there's many people in the world brave enough to tell a therapist that they have pedophillic inclinations and they don't want to have that and they want help.
If there was a path and a program set up for these people, a lot of good could come from it. Sin festers and grows in darkness and isolation, and essentially because the options for someone who has those feelings is threats of getting killed or keep it a secret and let it fester, that is a reason many of them have it fester to the point that they do something heinous, whereas if they felt they could get help earlier on, things could have gone a very different way for them.
Again, I've thought this through in the same way you have. I know, just as you do that the left wants a very different outcome and wants normalization and would use any inch given as a wedge to unspeakable atrocities, whereas someone like me or you wants pedophiles who haven't offended to come forward and get treatment so that there's less pedophiles. Both the new conservative and the leftist approach to pedophiles creates more offending pedophiles.
The leftist approach intentionally and by design, and the modern right approach by making pedophiles isolate, and grow in darkness out of fear.
First of all, because it's a sin problem, it should be dealt with through the grace of Jesus with programs in churches. Just like a person who struggles with homosexuality, but wants to not to, and to follow Jesus can tell people at their church and in 99% of cases the churches are happy to help them and get them to come out of the darkness and into the light through programs and through them being sanctified by God's word and help from fellow believers.
I feel that churches should offer this for people who have pedophilic desires so that it can be said of them "as WERE some of you" but no longer because you've been washed, cleaned, sanctified in Jesus. Just like there are former practicing homosexuals, if programs like that were in place in churches for people with those desires, then I believe there would be many people who could testify that Jesus changed their heart and desires and they are grateful that they got help before they did something horrific.
