Let God watch you treat those people like dirt, naturally in the name of "Christian Love", because after all, God's watching? Threaten to leave, taking your wings and white flowing robe with you? Where are you gonna go? Speaking as a victim of child abuse, I have chosen a different path. I understand, it's right for me and not everybody, but I decided a long time ago I could choose to continue to be a victim forever, and let that man control my happiness for the rest of my life. I could also choose to believe in my God and what my faith teaches, which is that no matter how bad it gets three things are true: I am loved by God. I am to love others as I am loved. And God makes the decisions, not me. Now THAT was an enlightened, cogent, articulate response... Well said!!!

What would i do if i looked around as i am in heaven and i see a child molester.I dont think i will ever have to worry about that because god will not allow EVIL to enter our beautiful heavens.

"They also have to change there ways!" Right. And that's what treatment/rehabilitation (not prison, not execution) does. Thank you for making my point.

Did you even read my post above? And does your Bible form some kind of subcommittee that advises God on what decisions to make? Because that's what I hear from judgemental people. Suddenly, everybody has an opinion on who does and does not get into Heaven, like it's some kind of fraternity. And, in my experience, those who are the most intense about who should and shouldn't get in are the same people who like to think they're the "best" Christians. Somehow, I just don't think they're gettin it. Aren't we supposed to want to help others get there? Even if they've done wrong? I think Earl would call that rehabilitation. You can call it "saved" if you want, but I've seen people who claim to be "Good Christians" throw away people who have sinned faster than they throw spoiled leftovers out of the fridge. Judge not...

No I also am not God. I do not have the power to look into someones heart to see if they have changed or if they are pretending to change.I am not perfect,Only God is.All I can say is if I knew someone to be a pedophile .I will not trust them with a child!!You said you also was abused as a child and was able to forgive.But really have you also forgot .Does it not bother you to Know they are still out there and could hurt someone else? I also forgive I have to ,but forgetting is the hard part.I would love to never ever think about it again. Its really hard to forget ,when I look in the mirror.

Give your memories to God. He'll take them and you won't have to hold them anymore. They're not doing you any good. Bless you and I hope you find peace.

Mr Earl,you have talked about treatment and rehabilitation so much .Do you know for a fact that this works,how many preditors do you know that has had treatment and has never had the thought of molesting a child in his mind again.

Yes, it does work. Couldn't give you an answer on the 'never having a thought again' question.

I realize that this question was not directed towards me, but pixie have you ever even read anything on this topic? Rehabilitation does work, the threat of execution does not. I would like you to tell me what your solution to this problem is, why it would work, and give me some scholarly evidence to support it... On a side note, GentleBeth it is nice to have another person (besides Earl) who realizes what is right in regards to this topic. Also, I believe you are right in your interpretation of God's word and the bible. Well said and it's nice to have another educated person in here.

"Mr. Earl". Your the one who needs the treatment. I just hope the cops find out where your at before you ruin some kids life. The thing is......Treatment won't help you and your friends! Please stop crying for help on topix and turn yourself in! P.S. Hope you get ass raped. Then we'll see how great your life is afterwards assuming your male.

You say that TREATMENT works but for some reason you don't believe the rehabilitated should be around children. Where do these evil scum go then? Children are everywhere dumbass! You must work for the state and need some job security. If so, your just as sick as they are. Treatment won't help you either!

Treatment just assures the molesters that they will be free to harm children once they're done. All they have to do is lie their way through! The Death Penalty assures us all that person will never touch another kid EVER AGAIN! Now how does that NOT work? That just means you won't have a job supporting them anymore.

If the death penalty worked as a deterrent you would never have to use it. And, even if it assured the offender 'never touched a kid again', there are too many cases of wrongful accusations... especially when you're dealing with kids.

Don't you find it funny that both Earl and PLAY it smart ,keep bringing up there education?They are also talking down to us as if we have no clue . I for one do understand and have not turned to name calling or talking down to anyone.I do not agree with either one of you! I think play it smart will agree with anything that My name is Earl says for the simple fact Earl complemented him in the beginning of his post.It made play it smart fell as he was smart. There is a difference between being book smart and common sense,I think you two have neither.You fight so hard for the pedophile and have no compassion for the victum!I sure hope you aren't the judge or a police officer.You would be the one to let the criminal loose and arrest and down grade the victum
