re: Why do folks try so hard to distinguish between homosexuality and pedophilia?

Both make me want to throw up in my mouth

quote:

---

Because they're two different things. Idiot.

Not necessarily, in fact there's some crossover.

Because there's a difference between the two.

Is that line of reasoning wrong?

Yes.

quote:

You fricking liar.

You vote for people who openly support grooming, and chastise anyone who opposes your ideology on this board daily.

If I mixed you up with someone else that openly made the statement that "if you don't like groomers, it is because you don't like gays", then my apologies. I won't apologize for saying you vote for the policies that support grooming.

For the same reason they distinguish between Priests and Pedophiles.

Heterosexual Pedophiles outnumber Homosexual Pedophiles by about 10-to-1.

If 3% of the population is gay, the relative risk of pedophilia would be slightly higher amongst gays than among straights. If the percentage of gays in the population is >3%, that relative risk would decline. Either way, it would constitute exception rather than rule.

But this new public blending of grooming and gay would REALLY piss me off if I were a gay adult.

You can see those who rebel against God seeking to destroy what He has created good so that they can prop up their own autonomy. Marriage is being redefined and minimized. Sexual desires and actions of all stripes are legitimized and promoted. Even children are devalued.

God creates things/processes which are balanced and self-replicating.

Marriage between a male and female is the perfect example. It is a commitment between a man and woman that compliment, support, and love one another in an unselfish way. They then replicate and produce children who they also support and love and the process repeats itself naturally. When sin enters the equation and man tries to modify the process, all hell breaks loose (literally). Same-sex relationships do not equate to marriage, period. Forcing that idea down the throats of God-fearing people is just the beginning of an unnatural process which dooms us all.

Satan's way is to increment sin in small ways to bring about the erosion which leads to total destruction. We are well on our way. In fact, it is at our doorstep. I don't know what is holding God back, other than an incredible love for His creation.

I think homosexuality is a birth defect. A genetic error either masculinities a female brain or feminizes a male brain.

Transgender is a mental disorder like schizophrenia.

Messing with kids is probably some combination of both of the above mixed with evil!

Simple answer: Because you can't get people to swallow this crap in a single bite. It has to be cut up into more palatable pieces and then seasoned well in order to cover up the rotten taste.

Once you get them to swallow the first bite, it's easier to get them to swallow the second and to finish the meal.

The OP isn't saying that Homosexuality and Pedophilia are the same thing - but that they are both "abnormal" or disordered, thus are more related to each other BECAUSE they are disordered action - rather than heterosexuality which is ordered. To be fair - sleeping around before marriage, even heterosexually, is ALSO disordered. At least - that would be a clear Christian belief.

Or better said - God created an order to the world that we are supposed to align to - that's the point of literally everything. The more we align with God's will - the more we are ordered. The more we don't - the more we aren't. (There's a slippery slope conversation in here).

And you can go down this path - EVEN with a non-Christian view. Even that the human soul - if it isn't divine - might require some sense of order, etc. That's a longer thread.

This touches on something I posted yesterday. Homosexuality generally breaks down into two forms: those who were born attracted to their own sex and those who generally came to it secondarily (those in prison who are otherwise hetero having sexual relations with other inmates because they have no access to relations with the opposite sex, for example). By focusing on it as being nothing more than deviancy, those born gay end up hiding it by attempting to assimilate to heterosexuality which then brought many of them to the point of reproducing. That homosexuality can be seen in family lines makes me think there is a genetic component (although there may be an abuse component as well). If true, going at homosexuality as a reviled mental issue has the long-term impact of making the problem worse by increasing the homosexuality left alone is a genetic dead end.

This hits on two other problems though. 1) The assumption that we are born perfect (without disordered thoughts). The fact is, we aren't. Just because we have disordered thoughts - doesn't mean we can take action on them. We all have our proclivities, and we are supposed to work away from them. We aren't "created" straight and "created homosexual." We are all created to be ordered within the world and to have whatever "problems" or "disorders" (not mental disorders) that we have to fight, work against, come to understand.

Of course the compassionate view of homosexuality, even with large swaths of the church, is to let them be and let them act. But that's incorrect.

Second, because of the above - this goes right into the "do what feels good," type of thinking. If it feels good, we should allow it. And I hope most can see where that gets us....

quote:

The problem is that many of the homosexual groups have allowed themselves to be associated with trannies and pedos because they over-empathize with being ostracized by society due to their divergence from the social and/or sexual norm. Many non-gays associate gays with trannies and pedos because so many gays and gay groups have accepted those groups (LGBTQANUSblahblahblah), thus the blame for confusion largely falls on the homosexual community itself. There are those who abhor those behaviors and associations, but they are too few and/or too silent about it.

Great point, but why do you think that's the case? Because disorder finds itself in other disorders? Because "victimhood," which is NOT understanding what suffering actually, perpetuates itself, thereby perpetuates disorder? Or because the power of those things being related, driven by whatever forces are out there, creates the slippery slope in and of itself?

Regarding the slippery slope, I hope at least Christians see what that really is.... it's an easing of order itself. It is precisely the descent into chaos. More Christian-as-therapy types may not want to admit that, but it is true.
