Adult attraction to children: Individual responsibility for adults attracted to children

Many parents support preventing child sexual abuse. This is a normal attitude on the part of a parent. What parent does not want their child to be safe? Most adults go by the concept of collective responsibility, meaning the collective stops an adult "pedophile" from sexually abusing a child. Usually, it isn't found out anyways until someone blows the whistle. However, the Bible calls for individual responsibility in preventing child sexual abuse. 

Every single adult is individually collectively responsible for the sexual abuse of children, as any old adult can sexually abuse a child under the right/wrong conditions. Usually, child sexual abuse is a crime of opportunity, not a career crime. Most adults who sexually abuse children don't take care of their sexual needs, and then it spills out sideways onto the nearest child victim. 

The Bible teaches righteous avoidance in cases of fornication, with fornication being denoted in the Bible by the Greek root word πορνεία (Latin: porneia). Basically, righteous avoidance is mapping out when you would offend against a child, and then avoiding those conditions. Also, righteous avoidance refers to righteous masturbation, meaning an adult should masturbate to the first child that comes to mind. Usually, the child in his fantasy is his daughter. If it smells off, you need to do it again, until you come to a point where the attraction is in the background. It should usually take about one or two sessions to fully purge a child attraction. If it takes more, you are a pedophile, and you need to own up to it. Masturbation without pornography was seen in biblical times as a way out of trouble. Pornography of any kind was prohibited under Christian law. 

Most pedophiles do not sexually abuse children, and are the last of adults to do so. 3 out of 4 pedophiles have never sexually abused a child. Sometimes, a pedophile does sexually abuse a child, in which case they rarely mean harm by it. Most child rapists who are pedophiles have a low IQ which makes the case excusable by the police standard. In the case of pedophiles with a normal IQ, the offender usually is obvious about their crushes on children, with the crushes coming like train cars. 

I myself have sexually abused a child. My main modus operandi was street harassment, in the form of flirtation, namely the "hey baby" wave. However, I did sexually harass a cousin in the attic of my grandparents' house. I freshened up her sides as she was beginning to grow breasts. I now know the boundaries around children. I didn't until I shed my atheism, and became a Christian. I am an ex-atheist because I was clueless as to the boundaries in the past. I am deserving of nothing but prison just for crossing those boundaries, and so I am grateful for the grace coming from the police. I am a regret adult in that capacity, meaning I regret how I related to children in the past. I did much of it as an adult as a child, meaning I was an adult in the course of my sexual offenses against children. 

A pedophile is a natural parent towards children, but of the parallel sort. In the Early Church, pedophiles were among the clergypersons giving parenting advice. Some pedophiles in the Early Church were appointed to clergy, where they wrote whole sermons convicting parents on their parenting. Some pedophiles even took in children when nobody else would, including the Apostle Paul. Parenting manuals were often written by pedophiles, and were not written then in the supportive tense, but rather in the convicting tense, telling parents what to avoid and then expecting them to parent properly as comes naturally. Whenever you see parenting advice come in a spiritually convicting way, think pedophile, but the non-contact type. Even if the pedophile had a sin list in relation to children, all they had to do was convict themselves in that regard, and then they could convict other parents.

Most pedophiles in the Early Church did not become clergypersons. But, whenever they brought up the topic of pedophilia, it was assumed that they needed help to some degree. If they needed so, the parents stood in between the pedophile and the child they were sexually attracted to. However, all that was necessary in most cases was a person to talk out their desires with. Today, a therapist can easily fit this role for a pedophile. Thanks to my lobbying, most all trauma-informed mental health professionals are on board with treating pedophiles the right way, as most pedophiles come with special trauma needs of their own. It is an under-the-table type of understanding pedophiles, but most trauma-informed professionals are willing to keep the secret of the pedophile, now that they understand what pedophilia is. 

The hysteria about pedophiles is often attributed to us as trauma survivors. However, the mental health stigma for admitting to being a pedophile started not here, but from Pope Constantine. Pope Constantine wrote an ex-cathedra statement saying that when attraction to children is admitted by an adult, "all shall disperse", meaning you lose all your friends and family. Most Catholic priests who sexually abuse altarboys are not pedophiles, but instead are "ex-gay" men who repress homosexual desires. What doesn't help is that masturbation alone is a big sin in the Roman Catholic Church even today, due to the alleged causal link to pornography in men in particular. I oppose pornography entirely on Christian grounds, but support solo masturbation to sexual thoughts of children. It isn't the masturbation that is the problem, but the powerful images that often come with it. A pedophile should have no problem identifying by their mental health disorder to anyone that they need help from. Many times, when they feel completely listened to, they drop the topic on their own. 

The depraved and decadent, defiled adults who rape or sexually assault children will not inherit the Kingdom of God! Let them descend into torrents of ever-burning Hell-fire prepared for Satan and his accomplices! Repent!
