[ in response to someone asking a self-proclaimed non-offending pedophile how he knows he wont abuse a child ]

I don't know, how do you know you won't go around raping and molesting everything you're attracted to?
The reason nonviolent "soft" pedo's like him can be so certain, is the same way you can be certain, or not, that you would not rape or molest a grown women in a vulnerable state. There was a post somewhere that I lost that was getting upvoted heaps that said "how can you be certain if you weren't put in just the right circumstances where odds were good nobody would know about it, that you wouldn't slip and ruin a persons life". Well imagine that scenario with an adult women. Maybe she drank too much at a party, passed out, and nobody else is around. Although a small margin of ethically devoid human beings would take advantage of a women in that scenario, the majority would not. The point is you can have ethics, and still be attracted to young girls. It's the same for pedo's. Although you're attracted to young girls, you can still have a moral and ethical objection to molesting and raping children or ANYONE else.
As to the point about "well what happens when you have kids?" it's the SAME THING. I'll assume you're attracted to adult women. Does that mean you should avoid adult women because you might molest or rape them? When you go to work, or school, or church, or reddit meet-ups, whatever, just because you're attracted to someone or some thing does not mean you're just going to start raping it no matter HOW attractive it is.
In all of the drama of this thread I haven't seen 1 link or suggestion of someplace someone can go talk to somebody if they want to change or feel guilty about their proclivities.
I am glad, SO glad this post came up because it's the only rational discussion of the issue I've seen ever. But also because I feel hugely relieved to know I'm not alone.
