No one was born to sin. That’s like saying you were born to kite checks or be a murderer, etc. God didn’t make us that way.

The short answer which we discovered from more studies, exams and interviews with psychiatrists when I was a Prosecutor than I care to count is ... yes.

Here we go down the road to normalization of pedophilia.

The normalization of homosexuality assures us that we will have more pedophiles abusing more children, causing us to have more homosexuals and pedophiles in the future. Convoluted genetic explanations aren’t necessary.

So, what is it? Is it genetic?

If so, have they identified the gene?

The whole idea that one is “born that way” which confers the idea that one has no choice or freewill in how they behave sexually ultimately leads to pedophiles, rapists, and all forms of sexual deviants and bad behavior being encompassed under the umbrella of an immutable trait that can not be helped. I’ve been warning that this is where this stupidity was leading. It is an attack on the basic concept on which all notions of liberty are founded which is self determination and freewill.

What we are seeing is an erosion of the foundation of a free society in the name of misguided equality. No longer are individuals assumed to be responsible for their behavior but instead a circus of excuses are presented many which are laughable. Human beings are not little dogs that can not pass fire hydrants without marking territory. That some think that civil society should set such a low bar for sexual behavior is like declaring open season for sexual criminals. They no longer evil or deviant but instead just following their God given nature.

The defect at the core of this is that human beings have proven with the advent of civilization that they can learn to control their behavior and modify their response through self reflection and consideration of right and wrong behavior. Human beings are born with the natural urge to defecate but they learn to control where and when they defecate. Human beings are born to desire to eat but they learn not to eat poison or inedible things. Human beings are born with natural tendency to get angry, to be scared but they learn to control reactions to these emotions.

The idea that sex is some how different is just ridiculous and is an expression of a desire for license to carry on sexually with disregard to any moral code or limit. Even primitive tribes don’t behave this way and for good reason because civilization becomes impossible without men and women who see self control and responsibility as cornerstones as a component of their lives. Learning to defer reactive desire or forgo it entirely is how one chooses not to murder, not to rape, not to steal, not to cheat, not to do all those things that abridge the rights of others.

One may be born with the ability to desire to sniff or eat glue but a person with free will can choose not to do those things. A person is born with the capacity for sexual desire but they can choose when and where and who and under what circumstances they will indulge that desire. Those who promote Pedophilia, Homosexuality, and Transexuality are like someone choosing to eat the glue proudly or crap their pants proudly. They know that sticking forks in electric sockets isn’t wise but they do it anyway and demand everyone clap for them approvingly. The worst part is they have built up this superiority complex as if this is “evolved” behavior as if mutilating ones sexual equipment is “evolved” when the evolved thing would be to change the way they think about their irrational desire to be something they were not born to be. The evolved behavior is to see you are male or female and make the best of it and stop trying to be what you weren’t born to be. As for those who have pedophile desires they should know that it is wrong and just not hurt children. A society that lessens the stigma for such behavior is not being enlightened but instead regressing to a level of the savage and setting the stage for even greater victimization of the innocent.

RE: The “little ones” Jesus is referring to are not children, but believers. It’s a common diminutive, a term of endearment.

______________________________

That might be the case in Luke 17, but in Matthew 18, it is written:

At that time the disciples came to Jesus, saying, “Who is the greatest in the kingdom of heaven?” 2 And calling to him a child, he put him in the midst of them 3 and said, “Truly, I say to you, unless you turn and become like children, you will never enter the kingdom of heaven. 4 Whoever humbles himself like this child is the greatest in the kingdom of heaven.

5 “Whoever receives one such child in my name receives me,

6 but whoever causes one of these little ones who believe in me to sin, it would be better for him to have a great millstone fastened around his neck and to be drowned in the depth of the sea.

The “little ones” there surely would include the child in verse 2.

I've wondered that myself.If one can be *born* wanting bodily appendages placed where they don't belong why can't people be *born* wanting relations with five year olds...or animals?

The answer is simple....it's a choice.Same sex...kids...animals...it's a choice.

That's a gem.

Betcha the second one thinks twice, if applied correctly. They still won’t suffer as long as their victims, though.

The road to acceptance of homosexuality was its removal from the psychiatric diagnostic manual. When it no longer meant you were crazy, we could look for biological and not mental illness causes.
Once they could say you were born that way, it becomes an inherent trait and the demands for tolerance and civil rights in the racial minority tradition began.
To make pedophilia acceptable, first they have to remove it as a mental disorder. Finding a biological cause, AKA born that way, is a first step to normalizing and tolerating it.

Here it comes folks. They are almost there.

Give it a year or two and you'll be a "bigot" for opposing pedophilia.
