re: Post #90 in the Christian Pederasts thread on freaksafari:

If you're from the other board and you're reading this, I do have a question. I might take this to their board if they don't answer here.
I'm not registered at Freaksafari, so we can discuss it here. As Godspell said below, civil discussion is welcome here. Games-playing like John A Doe appears to have done is not.

Isn't Christianity about helping other people, doing no harm, becoming a better person through god, ect...?
Being a Christian is about forming a closer relationship with God and attempting to live a Godly life. Those things you mention are ways of doing this. It's not relevant to pedophilia, but there are times when God does call you to do things that will harm one person for the greater good. The Allies dropping bombs on Germany and Japan to prevent the greater evil that an Axis-dominated world is one such time. As I said, irrelevant to this discussion.

If that's the case how can you deny the emotional and physical effects these children will have through your munipulation [sic] of their delicate minds?
By and large, and perhaps 100%, posters on this forum do not have sex with children. Pedophilia is more than lust, it is also love and conquering lust. Love means putting your beloved before yourself.

And one more questions: How many of you had relationships, such as the one you're condoning, when you were a child?
I did not, but I wonder how my life would have been different if I had hopped in bed with adults I had crushes on and nobody condemned me or the adult for it. Absent such condemnation, I expect it would have been little different than having sex with someone my own age.

Granted, having sex with anyone before marriage interferes with the marriage relationship. There is something missing when two people marry and one or both of them isn't a virgin.
