You Knew it was Coming: “Experts” Say Pedophilia is a Sexual Orientation – Hard-wired at Birth

Freedom Outpost ^ | December 27, 2013 | Tim Brown

First, let me say that I don’t want to hear anything from the homosexuals, their supporters, supporters of polygamy or any other perversion of God ordained sexuality. We told you this was coming and it has arrived. Researchers with Canada’s Centre for Addiction and Mental Health have concluded, after a decade of research, that pedophilia is a deep-rooted, unchangeable predisposition.

The Toronto Star reports:

Pedophilia has been widely viewed as a psychological disorder triggered by early childhood trauma.

Now, many experts see it as a biologically rooted condition that does not change — like a sexual orientation — thanks largely to a decade of research by Dr. James Cantor at the Centre for Addiction and Mental Health.

Cantor’s team has found that pedophiles share a number of physical characteristics, including differences in brain wiring. It’s now thought that about 1 to 5 per cent of men are pedophiles, meaning they are primarily attracted to children.

These findings have been widely accepted among scientists, but have had little impact on social attitudes or law. However, we are left with the alarming question: if some men are born pedophiles, what should society do with them?

Well, what do you suppose those who have kept their pedophilia under control to some extent, at least keeping it only in their thoughts? They are doing the same thing the homosexuals are doing: calling for societal acceptance, and a cry for special rights will soon be accompanying this demand.

Let me say that I realize all of us face different temptations. Some are weaker in areas that others are not. For those that fight against their temptations, whether homosexuality, pedophilia, fornication, pornography, adultery or a myriad of other sins, let me say “thank you.” Thank you for not justifying your lusts and thank you for seeking to keep them under control. The Bible commands us to repent of these lusts, as well as any action based on them, and Jesus Christ is a Savior of sinners from sin.

However, to accept that this is biological in nature is to miss the aspect of sin. After all, even these that are claiming this is from birth cannot prove it. As my friend Shea Bernard wrote, concerning homosexuality, “Dr. Francis S. Collins, head of the Human Genome Project, along with his team of over 150 of the top geneticists in the world, who sequenced and decoded the human genome, three years ahead of schedule, have emphatically said, ad nauseam, that there is NO gay gene.” To that I would add that there was no discovery of a “pedophilia” gene either. It may come as a surprise, but there are no “thieve” genes, “murderer” genes, or “liar” genes. This is a spiritual issue and deals with the mind.

However, Cantor wants us to believe it is biological. Cantor says of pedophilia: ”It’s either purely biological or a mix of biological and experiential.”

Cantor and his former colleague, Michael Seto, are careful to differentiate between pedophiles and sex offenders. The first, obviously has to do with the mental part and the second is the criminal action part.

So, how are they seeking to help those in the first category? A website, of course. Enter Virtuous Pedophiles. It’s a website for pedophiles who have never molested children, but do have an attraction for them.

One individual that was pointed to in the article in the Star was a man by the name of Ethan Edwards, who at the age of 50 found he could no longer suppress his desires and simply look at young girls in a protective manner. Edwards is the co-founder of Virtuous Pedophiles.

“I realized that young girls certainly took my breath away, more than grown-ups are usually charmed by kids,” Edwards said.

Edwards claims that his site desires to prevent child abuse, by reducing the stigma against non-offending pedophiles. “We do not choose to be attracted to children, and we cannot make that attraction go away. But we can resist the temptation to abuse children sexually, and many of us present no danger to children whatsoever. Yet we are despised for having a sexual attraction that we did not choose, cannot change, and successfully resist.”

While I’m happy to hear that Edwards and others acknowledge their problem, see it as a problem and seek to keep it from being a problem for young children, it is those like Cantor and Seto that seek to justify the mental state and actions by claiming people are just “born this way” that concern me even more. This is the same argument being used by the militant homosexuals to advance their agenda in this country.

It’s usually the case with those who believe in God to NOT refrain from abhorring the homosexual and their satan-given desire to be pedestalized by idiot politicians.

“All who practice homosexuality and lesbianism are potential pedophiles “

That is irrelevant to my question.
At what age is sex between an older male and younger female considered to be pedophilia?

[IbJensen]

Why not let YOUR conscience be your guide, Alex?

[Gaffer]

While I believe this isn’t true (I believe that it is a perversion that has escalated from an unnatural disposition through constant progression of worse and worse acts), if it is truly genetic, then we should isolate it and develop a test for it and abort them before they even reach society.

How’s that for ‘genetics’, GLAAD?

[BCW]

2nd that! ...it’s a condition to preserve one’s family and protect one’s children....it can’t be changed and the need to own multiple firearms comes with it...so society and the other freaks of nature need to accept that and make damn sure to stay away!

[IbJensen]

Since visiting there a few times, I find that the Singaporean method of handling crime should be a template for the West.

There are a myriad of crimes that are remedied by the death penalty and pedophilia is one of them. Justice works swiftly after a prompt judicial review of the cases.

I also like the way Singapore has eliminated any drug problem.

[BuffaloJack]

Culling the herd of perverts is also hard-wired from birth.
It’s part of the instinct to protect your family unit.

From 2009...

Obama's (former) "Safe School Czar" Kevin
"use a condom" Jennings

From the Washington Times...

EDITORIAL: At the president's pleasure
'Safe school czar' encouraged child sex with an older man
September 28, 2009

A teacher was told by a 15-year-old high school sophomore that he was having homosexual sex with an "older man." At the very least, statutory rape occurred. Fox News reported that the teacher violated a state law requiring that he report the abuse. That former teacher, Kevin Jennings, is President Obama's "safe school czar".

According to Mr. Jennings' own description in a new audiotape discovered by Fox News, the 15-year-old boy met the "older man" in a "bus station bathroom" and was taken to the older man's home that night. ..."

On the tape, Mr. Jennings recollected that he told the student to make sure "to use a condom" when he was with the older man. That he actively encouraged the relationship is reinforced by Mr. Jennings' own description in his 1994 book, "One Teacher in 10." In that account, the teacher boasts how he allayed the student's concerns about the relationship to such a degree that the 15-year-old "left my office with a smile on his face that I would see every time I saw him on the campus for the next two years, until he graduated." ..."

Those who believe this trash pseudo-science are just sinners who want to justify their immoral behavior like homosexuals and the bad thing is, they will get by with it because we have voted into power those who are fundamentally immoral and Politically Correct. The current occupant of the White Hut comes to mind.

Well, we are all sinners here on this mortal coil. Nobody has reason to dispute that. And people who believe the "trash pseudo science" certainly are responsible to be aware of its implications. Some are probably narrow minded eggheads who really are not aware of having a dog in that fight. They're deluded, but down a different avenue. Many may not have given a thought to carrying out actual pedophilia or whatever. They are simply tied to materialism. I simply suggest Christians to be careful whom they accuse of what or they can be, at best, unhelpful. Now once you HAVE identified where they are, feel free to go to town. (I suggest going after the materialism.) But do not "box as beating the air."

Look..I am NOT in the market. I am just asking a legal question. Again, what ages constitute “pedophilia”?

[sinsofsolarempirefan]

Maybe it is, just like psychopathy is hardwired in those with a dysfunctional frontal lobe. Doesn’t mean it should be embraced or accepted as normal and good.

[castlegreyskull]

Remember that show “To Catch a Predator”? They just looked like lonely and disgusting men, preying on very susceptible children. There was nothing “hard-wire” looking about it.

[IbJensen]

I would say then, Alex that under age 18 would be an appropriate age for the victim; however, as you know the perp doesn’t carry a guide. Many victims are as young as one-year old!

[KarlInOhio]

I had a disagreement in college with my psychology professor. He said pedophilia was an irresistible sexual urge, while I said that there were many pedophiles who only looked but because pedophilia was considered such a vile perversion that the only ones who sought psychiatric treatment were those who had been caught abusing children. Thus psych doctors believed that it was irresistible because they never saw the ones who had successfully resisted their urges and I believed that blame could be assigned to those who yielded to their urges.

Fortunately, my grade wasn't affected by my talking back on this issue.

[HiTech RedNeck]

In Christian parlance this would be termed a means of temptation. I don’t know if there is even such a thing as a brain condition (which is materialistic) that can lend itself ONLY to immorality.

This does not mean for one millisecond that we should be unmerciful to those in temptation. We should by all means share every grace with those people which will nourish them spiritually to beat the demons behind the temptation (by overwhelming them with God’s goodness). Too often we say “let someone else do it.” It’s high time we stop being a country of lone rangers. It takes a toll.

[ETL]

There was nothing “hard-wired” looking about it.

A lot of them probably act out what was done to them as children, too dumb and/or screwed up in the head to figure out some other way to deal with the issue.

[X-spurt]

In progressive world, can’t be trying to use common sense and decency.

If and when real anarchy occurs, perverts will be one of the first eliminated right behind freeloaders.

[MaxMax]

Death penalty is the best way to keep perverts in check. Kill them all..

[Right Wing Assault]

What you are referring to as racism has absolutely nothing to do with pedophilia.

No kidding! Who said it did? I am mocking these psychs who want to claim that more and more things are "hard-wired" so why not throw racism in there, too? Or maybe school-shooters are hard-wired, so we can't really blame them for doing what they were born to do.
