I honestly can't believe what I'm reading here. No child can consent to sexuality with an adult. Period, end of story. They are intellectually, emotionally, psychologically, and sexually incapable of it.
If you knew anything about child psychology, or psychology in general, or everything that's been learned about human sexuality, you'd know that.
I hope for your sake that you are unaware that the rhetoric you are repeating is pedophile rhetoric, the pathetic attempt of immature, damaged men to justify their evil, and I said evil, behavior. It's all over their publications, their websites, and their filthy videos. If things go as they should, people who espouse these kinds of ideas in short order appear on some law enforcement department's "radar", because eventually they'll put their theories into practice. At that point, at least once it's clear they are repeat offenders, we can lock them away for good or chemically castrate them, which is too good for them, but by then they've caused incalculable harm. Believe me, if we let the parents at these people they'd tear them apart with their bare hands if that's all that they had.
I find it astonishing, frankly, that you have in the past posted in support of religion and religious organizations, but then in this thread you actually asked why something that harms other people is necessarily "bad" or "wrong". What brand of Christianity, exactly, says that it is acceptable to commit actions that are known to harm other people? I find no consistency or logic in your posts.
Perhaps you don't care, since someone being harmed doesn't matter to you, but there is tremendous harm done psychologically as well as sometimes physically to young children through these sexual encounters. Do you really not know how many of them subsequently self-harm, become drug addicted, sexually promiscuous, turn to prostitution, even sometimes commit suicide? The least that happens is that it derails their lives, and they have great difficulty maintaining normal, adult sexual relationships, and yes, this applies to those who "agree" as well as those who are violently raped and assaulted.
Take the example of a work relationship, where a woman works for a man. That man has the power to fire, to promote, to demote, and on and on. That man makes unmistakable sexual overtures and makes it clear that if this woman wants a career at that company or in that department, or maybe anywhere within the reach of his influence, she had better "acquiesce". Now, some women will tell the guy to, well, I'll leave it to your imagination. Some women will go along. Is that really consent? It's consent under duress, but bear in mind that this is an adult woman who has options and some experience with life and sexuality.
Can you really compare that to a child, in an unequal relationship with an adult, seeking approval, affection, not totally aware of what is going on and what these feelings are and where they should be directed ? It's blasphemy, to use a religious term, to suggest any such thing.
And yes, consent and harm are extremely important considerations in a civil, democratic society. That's all part of the social compact, the determination, through the passage of laws by elected representatives, of what is acceptable in society. The definition as to what is or is not acceptable can and should change as our scientific knowledge increases.
All that you have proposed for your "beliefs" about homosexuality is that you "know" it's a perversion and it's wrong. Not good enough, not by a long shot, not with all the knowledge we now have about sexuality in general and homosexuality in particular. Plus, who made you the arbiter?
You also have no right to claim the authority of your religion since you have denied its primary tenet.
Now, I'm out. This is nausea inducing.
