"We are not responsible for our feelings" is the cry of the new Pedophilia rights proponents.
It is also the justifiable child of "We're all sinners!" and "If it feels good, Do it!" Or to put it in Adventese "No one can stop sinning. Are YOU perfect?"
During a TEDx Talk, Mirjam Heine from University of Würzburg claimed “pedophilia is a natural sexual orientation, just like heterosexuality.”
"We should differentiate between child sexual abuse and pedophilia. According to current research, pedophilia is an unchangeable sexual orientation,” Heine argued. “Just like, for example, heterosexuality. No one chooses to be a pedophile. No one can cease being one.”
“The difference between pedophilia and other sexual orientations is that, living out this sexual orientation will end in a disaster… It is our responsibility to over come our negative feelings about pedophiles. And to treat them with the same respect we treat other people with.”
“We should accept that pedophiles are people who have not chosen their sexuality… We should accept that pedophilia is a sexual preference, a thought, a feeling, and not an act. We should differentiate between child sexual abuse and pedophilia. We shouldn’t increase the suffering of pedophiles by excluding them, by blaming and mocking them.”
Do you see where this is going? I'll admit, it's difficult, because liberalism has no bottom. But hey, LGBTQi still has room for more alphabet, so let's add a P and feel good about all of our deviations. It's not child abuse. Love is love! We're all sinners, right?
It is true that we have all sinned, and we need our Lord for this life and the one to come. But we are not all given over to vile affections (Romans 1:26). Not yet anyway...

"Professing themselves to be wise, they became fools, and changed the glory of the incorruptible God into an image made like to corruptible man, and to birds, and four-footed beasts, and creeping things. Wherefore God also gave them up to uncleanness through the lusts of their own hearts, to dishonour their own bodies between themselves: Who changed the truth of God into a lie, and worshiped and served the creature more than the Creator, who is blessed for ever...For this cause God gave them up unto vile affections.." (Romans 1:22-26a)
