From Homosexuality to Pedophile

Before the acceptance of pedophilia could take place, there must be legal right for the underage to live apart from their parents or any form of guardianship.

Of course, some think they are smart by arguing for gay marriage on the basis of political benefits. The government should never have gotten involved in charity for marriage, homo or hetero, in the first place. Now, these smarty pants have a problem, they are trapped in their own disgust when pedophiles are claiming that they are a "sexual orientation".

There is another group that would like to argue homosexuality as a natural cause: sexual orientation. Nature, not nurture. Some of these suggest a sort of responsible will power as a cure. True, it is always an act of will that challenges our lustful desire, but to claim this desire "natural", is giving oneself too much credit. One could argue for a pedophile's nature just as those who use "homosexual behavior" in certain animals (ie. Bonobo, etc.) for natural homosexuality. To say that one is born without arms is not the same as to say that one is made naturally to be jealous of those who have arms.

To be disgusted by obscenity or sinful desires is not righteous enough, in fact, it may not be righteous at all. One must be disgusted by the contamination of one's own relationship with God.
