Normalizing Pedophilia Means Ignoring Free Will
If there is no God you are just a bag of chemicals, all bouncing off one another and interacting in weird ways and you are just that. You didn’t have a novel idea, it was just neurons firing. You didn’t go above and beyond with your effort you just did what your chemicals told you to. There is no will associated with a purely materialistic view of creation.
As we know, God grants us free will. the Bible story makes that plain but to the materialist there is no free will. In short, there is no you.
In short, there is no you. There is no right and wrong because there is no free will to choose the former or the latter.
That is why you see everyone making the case for LGBT agenda saying that they’re born that way. Nothing is a choice. That’s your factory settings and nothing can change that. You see where this is going.
Ah yes, the next frontier. We’ve burned through LGBT weddings. We’ve graduated to trans story hour for kindergarteners. What’s next?
Pedophilia or as some call them “Minor Attracted Persons.”
The Post Millennial reported recently that “a professional counselor who works with incarcerated sex offenders defended pedophiles as a ‘marginalized’ minority in a recent YouTube upload, sparking criticism as clips from the video went viral on social media.” Miranda Galbreath, who is a licensed sex therapist, posted a video which is, at least for now, unavailable. It was entitled “Let’s talk about minor-attracted persons.” In it, Galbreath advocates for the use of the term “minor attracted people” and claims that the term “pedophile” is a “judgmental, hurtful insult.” She says that pedophiles are “the most vilified population of folks.”
Amid all this rancid and dangerous propaganda, even “folks” is a charged word. While the Post Millennial transcribes the word as “folks,” it is likely that Galbreath said “folx,” which Merriam-Webster, a newly woke company like all the rest of them, explains is “used especially to explicitly signal the inclusion of groups commonly marginalized.” Galbreath is semaphoring to her Leftist audience that pedophiles are or should be considered to be among the Left’s protected victim groups, groups that are prized and privileged because they are supposedly “marginalized.” To redress the wrongs done by white, Christian, cisgendered, heteronormative bigots, these people deserve special consideration and accommodation.
Galbreath claims that the term minor-attracted person “simply means that the person has an enduring sexual or romantic attraction to minors. They have not chosen this attraction… you don’t get to choose to be heterosexual or gay, and you don’t get to choose to be a minor-attracted person.” It’s something the poor dears can’t help, you see. Galbreath doesn’t seem to have any interest, meanwhile, in the plight of people who don’t choose to become the victims of pedophiles. They don’t choose, either, but apparently they don’t deserve any consideration.
The Post Millennial notes that Galbreath is not just a talking head, but acts upon her ideas: “On her website, called Sexual Safe Space, Galbreath claims that she has been an active mental health counselor for over 20 years. According to the site, she provides ‘evaluation and treatment services in the community and within state prisons to folks who have committed sexual offenses.’ On her Linkedin profile, she displays experience working with the Pennsylvania Department of Corrections.” And one insane and immoral perspective leads to another: Galbreath “is also a registered member of the World Professional Association for Transgender Health (WPATH), which sets international guidelines and protocols for medically transitioning, including recommendations for minors as young as 14.”
Galbreath is not alone in trying to normalize pedophilia. She is just one part of a much larger push. As far back as October 2014, the New York Times published an op-ed entitled “Pedophilia: A Disorder, Not A Crime.” Those who would dismiss that on the basis of its having been an op-ed and not a news article, and thus not necessarily reflecting the position of the Times itself, should investigate when the Times last published an op-ed arguing that Islam was not a religion of peace, and that jihad terrorists were inspired by texts and teachings of the Qur’an itself. The Times has, of course, never published such an op-ed, and never would. But normalizing pedophilia? That fits in just fine with the Times’ agenda.
All of this work requires the eradication of God from people’s lives. Just a quick question – how do you think they’re doing? Yeah, I’d say they’re just about there.
The thing is, they know that the Catholic Church is the greatest obstacle to their plans. That is why they attack. I wish we understood that as well as them because then we’d defend the Church as vociferously as they attack.
Only a massive effort to re-evangelize the western world can save it. I actually think it’s gone too far to be saved by anything other than God opening up the heavens and raining down some biblical comeuppance. But we must act as if it’s on us. In short, we must exert our free will to remind others that God granted them such a gift.
