Ultimately I see this as a matter for Evangelism, and treat it as such.

Would you please explain that to me? You can send me a private note if you wish.

I've already discussed the relationship between belief in God and being able to say "because it's wrong."

Cases like this, however, are political. As we've seen, the existence and effectiveness of laws against pedophilia (or whatever) hinge on beliefs.

To maintain laws against pedophilia requires us to ensure not only that the preponderance of people believe as we do, but also that they have some firm foundation to stand on when challenged by the psychologists, etc.

My contention is that the only firm foundation is a belief in God -- hence the call for Evangelism.
