Author William Federer was asked by a college student: "What's wrong with adult-child sex? We read in an American Pediatric Association report that it could be beneficial for children." Say what? What's wrong with adult-child sex? Federer was asked that during the Q&A session of his talk "Preserving the Traditional Marriage" at Indiana University. Why is that question even on the table?
Here is Webster's definition of the word "pedophilia": abnormal sexual desire in an adult for children.
Now, perhaps I'm intolerant when I say that adult-child sex is absolutely morally wrong. Perhaps I'm not compassionate when I'm against what many call "children's liberation" (which is actually a lame code phrase for adults wanting sex with kids). But what are college students thinking today? What was unthinkable years ago is now thought of as "beneficial"? No wonder the North American Man-Boy Love Association (NAMBLA), which is openly advocating the abolishment of all age of sexual consent laws, is emboldened.
Federer says in his WorldNetDaily.com article Same-Sex Marriage Damaging to Children, "For 5,000 years, the overwhelming majority of the civilized world had defined marriage as one man and one woman."
The reason why African Americans as a whole are opposed to gay marriage is not only because of spiritual beliefs, but because in all of African history, there is no instance of same-sex marriage. There was polygamy in Africa, yes. There were Egyptian Ptolemic brother-sister marriages, such as that which produced the famous Cleopatra VII (there were seven Cleopatras), yes. But never did an African man marry another African man or an African woman marry another African woman.
He also asked that student:
"if he thought individuals exist who desire to sexually abuse children and wouldn't they be tempted to adopt."
No answer was indicated. He also said,
"I asked him who was going to police to make sure pedophiles don't adopt. He said that would be impossible. Exactly my point, I answered, it would be impossible. There would be no way to protect children from sexual predators if homosexuals were allowed to marry and adopt."
So could it be plausible that two members of NAMBLA who would cohabit and claim to be married may want to adopt a boy or boys? Or even gays who have a sexual orientation called pederasty.
Ed Hougen, editor of the gay publication The Guide, said in the Lambda Report, "I believe they (NAMBLA) are generally interested in the right of young people to be sexual...I am glad there is a group like NAMBLA that is willing to be courageous."
Is the right of young people to be sexual a part of gay rights? The 1972 Gay Rights Platform demanded "Repeal of all laws governing the age of sexual consent." Is this a good thing? As always, the African American community will not stand for that either.
The Holy Spirit is God Himself.
The Holy Spirit didn't have sexual intercourse with Mary.
Pedophilia is a sexual perversion.
God isn't a sexual pervert.
What a stupid question.
No but 13 years old was the age at which most Jewish females of the times got married. If the Holy Spirit was not a pedophile, many, many Jewish men must have been.
EXTENSION OF REMARKS OF HON. A. S. HERLONG, JR. OF FLORIDA IN THE HOUSE OF REPRESENTATIVES
Thursday, January 10, 1963
17. Get control of the schools. Use them as transmission belts for socialism and current Communist propaganda. Soften the curriculum. Get control of teachers' associations. Put the party line in textbooks.
25. Break down cultural standards of morality by promoting pornography and obscenity in books, magazines, motion pictures, radio, and TV.
26. Present homosexuality, degeneracy and promiscuity as "normal, natural, healthy."
40. Discredit the family as an institution. Encourage promiscuity and easy divorce.
41. Emphasize the need to raise children away from the negative influence of parents. Attribute prejudices, mental blocks and retarding of children to suppressive influence of parents.
I am just trying to sort through the cognitive dissonances here.
AKA 'stir the pot'
Your cognitive dissonances are the purest evidence of your idiocy.
A collection of links on: homosexuality and pedophilia
This question was probably formulated after the viewing of the Fountains of Wayne video of "Stacy's Mom," featuring Rachel Hunter in a bikini and a bespectacled kid treating his body like an amusement park a la Judge Reinhold in Fast Times at Ridgemont High.
Yeah, I had fantasies like that when I was a teen. Then I grew up.
A) There was not sexual intercourse or activity conducted with lewd intent.
B) Pedophilia refers to attraction to prepubescent children.
C) A 14 year old impregnated by an adult male (as opposed to by God) has experienced statutory rape.
You did not sort anything out. You offered a faulty premise that I was happy to correct for you. See post #35.
Yeah, and life expectancy was about 40. It was an entirely different world.
But of course you knew that before you decided to agitate the good people on this thread and divert them from the issue at hand.
Oh, but I have. I have, indeed. :-)
Is this what they call moral relativism?
