Your comment...

Of course atheists consider the sexual abuse of children to be wrong because it is injurious to the children and they are not of an age to consent.

...begs the question: are there NO atheist pedophiles?

I can't tale credit for 9yearlurkers comment - with which I agree, though - despite your rather odd take on it. I read the comment a bit simpler - atheists are like the 99.9% when it comes to abhorring sexual child abuse - as the act cannot by definition be consensual.

I don’t get the point to there having to be NO atheist child sexual abusers, either.

I don't disagree with you.

The problem is that there are many who DO disagree with you. They would not call it abuse - if the child is willing.

So, why are they wrong? Or to ask it another way, what makes you right?
