    A central claim of the gay rights movement—a claim that won the movement acceptance with the majority of Americans—was that being gay is part of who a person is, and not a choice. “Born this way,” declared the title of a popular song. Another song insisted, “I can’t change even if I tried.”

    This idea of immutable sexual identity was further extended to other orientations and self-expressions. So, trying to suppress or change orientation or even behavior was labeled “conversion therapy.” And, now that sexual orientation is considered identity, anything labeled “conversion therapy” is increasingly being outlawed. Recently, A new law just passed in Canada bans conversion therapy and defines it as any “practice, treatment or service designed to change a person’s sexual orientation” or “repress or reduce non-heterosexual attraction or sexual behavior.”

    Completing this rapid worldview revolution, all kinds of identities, also based on desires and feelings, are being treated as if they are unchangeable. And, if a desire is unchangeable, the reasoning goes, a person has a right to act on it. This logic has been applied to most desires imaginable—until now.

    In January, USA Today ran an article by Alia Dastagir titled, “The Complicated Research Behind Pedophilia.” The article summarizes a growing consensus among psychologists that pedophiles, too, are “born this way,” and that attraction to children is unchangeable….

    I
    t is indeed a choice. We are all born into sin. We are all sinners. We can have victory over any sin. It is a lie to say one is born a certain way and cannot change. Maybe not willing to change, to find excuses for behavior. No one has a right to act even when they know that what they do is wrong. Especially if it affects others.

    We are human beings, we are moral responsible for controlling our actions and our appetites.

    This slope mentioned in the article is quite slippery. I’m glad that there are still those in our culture here willing to distinguish between our desires and our behavior.
    If the sexual revolution doesn’t stop here and now, the consequences for our nation and society are quite awful.

    There is no actual scientific research showing being gay has anything to do with being a pedo, and anyone blathering it should feel ashamed for being so easily duped.
    Science always wins.

    It seems that no manner of perversions are a bridge too far in this world.... How long until bestiality is excused as....." Love is love " ?

    That isn't what this thread is about really. It's about the concept that a person is born a pedophile. Just like some one might be born heterosexual. It's addressing a slippery slope.

    The "sexual revolution" runs so much higher and deeper than you can possibly imagine. I know because before I became disabled (and hopefully one day again before I kick) I lived things that would make your toes curl. As long as everyone involved is a consenting adult, it's all good. I'd even argue quite vociferously that it is so much better than what you think is proper.

    One other thing, while I was in the process of becoming disabled, I died. Saw the other side and everything. Your religion is wrong. So much so it's kind of like a broken clock, it's right twice a day through dumb, blind luck.

    Sorry.

    Looks a lot like it is. His hilarious assertion is about being born gay being similar to being born a pedo. His xtian pretend-science link is right as expected; bereft of any science.

    definitions change with the activists....just like new words are made up with the activists. Homosexuality used to be seen as mentally ill right? Until the activists started their thing.

    The concept discussed is "being born that way". If gays are born that way then heterosexuals are born that way and the research is discussing pedophiles being born that way if using the same criteria.

    yes. I’m well aware. There’s a little bitty super important bit that the idiots at the xtian website are missing out on, called consent. They’re trying to blur the lines, and it’s not surprising.

    No. That isn't the point of the thread. I'm really amazed you can't "get" this....I will chalk it up to hyper emotion over hearing the word gay and pedo in the same thread.

    Most Gay people make the argument that they are born as gay. That is why the word gay is in the thread.

    Why are you so obsessed with homosexuals? I can honestly say I did not choose to be straight, - I was born this way. If you had to choose to be straight, then it can only mean you were born something else.

    Sure.

    It started out as the "classic" tunnel of light (well, "classic" if you've ever done any research at all into NDEs), and when that finished, I found myself (though I use the term loosely, it wasn't physical, and I don't think I has anything remotely resembling a body) on a sandy beach somewhere. I was shown something that at the "time" (however that may have been measured) I didn't understand, but later I realized it strongly resembled the life review that is somewhat common in NDE research.

    Only it wasn't my life, at least not this one. My impression is that the beach was actually my home, and it was a significant amount of earth time in the past, where I was some sort of tribal elder or chief. I KNOW there was more to it than that, but that's basically the only details I remember.

    While there was nobody (figuratively) on this beach with me, I remember getting instructions about reincarnation, the fact that it exists, and I think at least part of the purpose, but like the "life review" the details are hazy there, too.

    The biggest thing I can say, though, is that it was a "no judgement zone", and the very idea that a consciousness would be tortured for all of eternity for "believing the wrong thing" during but a single human lifetime (which is nothing compared to the near infinity that our larger consciousness is aware of) is laughable.

    The meaning of consent, what communicates consent and the age of consent changeable along with everything else in society. The concept of "I was born this way" stands alone.

    I too shared a similar experience, not the specific details but pretty much the same progression of events.

    Fixing to take my before work nap so I don't really have time to go into it but I really should post a thread on it someday

    It's interesting you brought that up. We had a poster here years ago that had a "relationship" with his dog. Said the dog demonstrated clear consent, was happy and healthy. Also said that there is in the shadows a community of people who are attracted to and love their animals.

    All they need is an onslaught of activists and any type of consent can be legal.

    Yes, the age of consent has changed over time.

    Decades and decades and decades ago, it was ok for teens under 18 to have sex and even marry.
    Maybe not ok for sex as the time frame I refer to sex outside of marriage was never talked about. It was near forbidden, but happened anyway.

    But as psychologists have done studies on human brains, they realized it isn't fully developed until about the age of 25 and have been upping the age of consent for at least 50 yrs now.
    Because they realize they don't younger people don't have the full capacity to understand all the issues revolving having sex at early age incorporates.
    It won't ever stop teens in early puberty from engaging in sex, but it does make it illegal for someone over the legal adult age to have sex with a minor.

    So if you're worried about the age of consent going down, I don't see that happening in any of our lifetimes.
