Religious child abuse of pedophilic children: Why we should care

Many people, in recent years, have come forward and supported pedophiles, usually as a side cause. However, many people do not understand which pedophiles to support, and support the rights of sex offenders. I support abuse registries, period - register them all! I do not think this will negatively impact pedophiles at all, as pedophilia is associated with autism, not narcissism.

What is pedophilia? Pedophilia is a mental health disorder involving the preferential sexual attraction to children younger than age 14. 1-2% of men and an untold number of women suffer from the disorder, with 3 out of 4 pedophiles not sexually abusing children. Pedophilia is basically arrested sexual development associated with a developmental disorder that is primary to the pedophilia diagnosis or self-diagnosis. The developmental level of a pedophile largely correlates with the ages of the children they are attracted to. It is a form of autism that is child-centered, in a way that is on the level of children. What happens in most cases of pedophilia is that pubertal hormones that govern sex drive are arrested in time, in a way that affects the age-oriented sexual development of the child with the disorder. In some cases, namely with girls, sexual abuse is so forceful that it arrests the hormonal development of the child, leading to pedophilia. Child sexual abuse actually has little to do with pedophilia, and more to do with an individual adult's will and choice to sexually violate a child. All adults are capable of sexually abusing a child under the right/wrong conditions, and the idea is to identify what conditions you would abuse a child under, and avoid them.

What is pedophile hysteria? Where does the hysteria start? Spiritually abusive parents and pastors who punish children and sexually abuse them in order to "correct" the pedophilia. Most pedophiles had abusive religious parents, and thus the majority of pedophiles - as polled at the Virtuous Pedophiles forum - are atheist, oftentimes conflated with very bitter, angry trauma from their abusive religious parents who spiritually abused them and punished them otherwise. This form of religious abuse occurs even in Christian denominations that are more moderate. Usually, this abuse had to do with sexual shaming abuse. 

The main verse that is misused to abuse pedophilic children with is Matthew 5:27-28 KJV:

Ye have heard it was said of old time, Thou shalt not commit adultery. But I say unto you, That whosoever looketh upon a woman to lust after her hath already committed adultery with her already in his heart.

The Greek root word translated "lust" and denoting here adult sexual entitlement is επιθυμέω (Latin: epithumeo) and refers not simply to desire, but desire to the point of taking the first steps to approach a child for sexual purposes. Merely having sexual desires, or even fantasies, toward children, is not a sin. Planning to sexually assault or rape a child, or approaching a child for those purposes, is sexual entitlement, and is sin. But, nonetheless, parents preach this teaching to their pedophilic children, and punish them for not following it, and then they become atheists because nobody accepts them.

I support strong laws prohibiting all forms of child abuse, as perceived by the child. Whatever the child victim perceives as abuse should be seen as such. I support a pedophilic child being able to dial 9-1-1 on his/her own, and be able to report abuse from his/her parents, and the police would protect the child and call in Children and Youth Services BECAUSE the child was at-risk of abuse BECAUSE of his/her pedophilia. Pedophilia is not at all a major risk factor for a child growing up to being an abuser, and proper supports for the child from family members and mental health professionals can stop all possibility of the pedophile growing up to being an abuser. Pedophiles are the most vulnerable of children to abuse and childhood trauma, as pedophiles generally identify by trauma and don't repress it, usually in an angry way. The first thing we need to do is ban all punishment and controlling demeanor towards children, meaning as the child perceives it. Pedophiles like me can express anti-spanking trauma in very strong terms. The very word "spank" to me is the most repulsive word in the dictionary - say "pedophile" and I don't care, but don't say "spank" unless you are opposing it when speaking to me. 

I myself am a fortunate pedophile in that I have the support system necessary to keep me from offending against a child. My mother worries a lot about it, like any mother would worry about their mentally ill son. I have a therapist who I can turn to if I am having a crisis regarding my pedophilic disorder. I was simply given a listening environment, and from there I figured the rest out myself. I want ALL pedophiles to have what I have.

What we need are more laws on the books protecting children. The pedophile should be the posterchild of the harm of child abuse, since us pedophiles experience trauma on the surface, in a way we can't deny. If any child is in need of more legal protections, it is a child who is attracted to much younger children. That stated setup - attracted to much younger children - is exactly how to understand pedophilia. It is simply an attraction, usually of the affinity type, associated with arrested sexual development connected to a case of autism.

Let the depraved and decadent, defiled parent fornicators, and the depraved and entitled parents who provoke their children to anger BURN in everlasting Hell-fire! Repent!
