Religious child abuse against pedophilic children: Why we should care

Religious child abuse is the perception of religious entitlement as an offense. Pedophilia is the sexual attraction to children under age 14, and is a mental health disorder classified under DSM-5 classifications. Children are the most oppressed class of people on planet earth - and the most oppressed among them are pedophiles.

Pedophile hysteria does not stem from children's rights communities, but the epidemic of religious child abuse in the United States. The bulk of child abusers are motivated by religious teaching or doctrine of some sort, and these are the people that hate pedophiles. The most impacted of pedophiles in this regard are children under age 18. Sexual shaming abuse is the first abuse many pedophiles endure in life, from their own parents, and usually in the form of removal of magazines, lurching, and even sexual abuse. Many alleged "Christian" parents have punished their pedophilic children for masturbation, including with sexually violent "purification" rituals. The well-adjusted pedophiles out there, who deal with the hysteria calmly and coolly, had attached, gentle parents who didn't abuse them for being a pedophile. These parents usually know, but wait for a disclosure from the child in order to affirm that they knew already and simply were concerned. Usually, good parents show concern, but in a listening manner.

The core of pedophile hysteria is the misunderstanding of what "inordinate passions" in Colossians 3:5-7 KJV:

Mortify your members which are upon the earth; fornication, uncleanness, inordinate affection, evil concupiscence, and covetousness, which is idolatry: For which things' sake the wrath of God cometh on the children of disobedience: In which ye also walked some time, and lived some.

The Greek root word translated "inordinate affection" is επιθυμέω (Latin: epithumeo) and refers not merely to abnormal sexual desire, but to a certain level of sexual desire - sexual desire at the level of seeking to taking the first steps to sexually abuse a child in the case of a pedophile. Being a pedophile isn't a sin, but rationalizing sexual behavior with children to the point of convincing yourself that it is okay to do is adult sexual entitlement, and sexual entitlement in any adult is sin. The Early Church affirmed pedophiles, as long as they stayed abstinent, and the parenting was so egalitarian in nature that most men were pedophiles, at least to their children, in an abstinent way due to purity norms and laws. The misuse of this passage, however, is what has led to hatred of pedophiles worldwide.

What is the solution? A solution that benefits non-pedophilic children as well - allow children to identify as pedophiles into adulthood. Then, we know who the abusers are by who is not identifying, or else how they identify. In such an affirming society towards pedophiles, most pedophiles will be aware of their attraction to children, and will be working on curbing it through re-channeling it into fantasy. Anyone who admits to being a pedophile, by default, will be believed, unless they are clearly using it as a medical excuse, in which case we believe the pedophiles who don't commit crimes or offenses against children. When the non-offending pedophiles of the world identify by their desires, the abusers have one less identity on their side. Usually, abusers hide. It may be perfectly safe to "come out", but they hide anyway, and if they show, their usage of the word "pedophile" will determine whether they are a threat or not. It would bring the sexual self-interest towards children onto the surface for all to see, so we can judge like a landscape and not a tunnel underground. 

I myself am a pedophile on the surface, of the non-offending, anti-contact variety, and I find it easier to manage that way, meaning it can be moved around and centered in a way that keeps children safe from my own self-interest. It isn't even at the entitlement level, but the self-interest level, meaning sex with children is my self-interest. I simply settle for being around children, and I'm happy and grateful. They can be in the restaurant or the store, and I am happy for them even being there. I myself do not have trauma related to being a pedophile, as my parents accepted me despite my disorder, in a listening fashion. Most understanding people know fully the disorder only when it is brought up, and otherwise, they move onto other things. A surface level pedophile can be worked into ordinary conversation. I am entitled to nothing from children, and am grateful for all the joy they bring me, just seeing them out and about.

Let the depraved and defiled adult fornicators of children BURN for their desecration of children and defamation of the true pedophiles who do not abuse children! Repent!
