Every time I see a post about killing pedophiles, I always think of St Moses the Black, who refused to judge the sins of a fellow monk because he saw his own were so great.

If pedophiles automatically must die, then we must kill all sinners.

I honestly find it deeply upsetting. Abusing children is horrifying but to suddenly no longer treat death like an enemy but with zeal is also horrifying.

It& #39;s also completely ignorant of the most basic psychology and understanding of pedophilia.

I am NOT accusing pedophilia and we should take it incredibly seriously. But I don& #39;t think that justifies throeing out the baby with the bath water.

There& #39;s active communities of people who struggle with pedophilic desires and yet have never acted on them, like any other wise. But they& #39;re often on the brink of suicide due to the inability to share their struggle even with spouses and best friends. This stuff pushes em over.

I happened upon their forums as i was studying gender, adictions, and philias. The stories will tear you to shreds.

I just can& #39;t see a love of judgement and a rejection of mercy as anyrhing Godly... It is a truly evil act, but since when are the rest of us "good?"
