    I don't blame schools or churches, tho. I had ten years of collective punishment in the military and I know how it feels to be blamed for things other people did.

    These people are cop outs on parenting to send their kids away and let other people handle them. I don't approve of it at all.
    As a person of faith myself, destroying a person's faith is a terrible form of abuse. It makes recovery much more difficult.

    I'm not you or Cthulhu. I'm spiritual and believe in Jesus because of personal experience...I'm not churchy or religiousy. Never have been. If my pastor had come on to me I would have put sugar in his gas tank and went on believing whatever.

    There was a pedophile in our neighborhood that my dog hated. He would give me comic books but when I was little comic books were for nerds so I would just laugh and we'd piss on his fence at night. It was weird because we all knew he was creepy and a pedo but instead of being afraid we tormented him.

    As I tell this I wonder why I never told my parents.

    Wow, this is a story of gay kids experiencing extraordinary rendition to schools outside the US for forced anti-gay "therapy".

    The woman who directed the film, Kate Logan, says she lost her Christian faith over what she saw filming the documentary.

    You want me to believe a person that is the director of a film just because she says she is a Christian. Not going to happen.

    I read that as you saying you are closed minded about other points of view.

    If you are looking for feedback, you're getting it. I see no problem with you trying to explain to others why you think and feel the way you do. Whether you want to call it that or call it persuasion is up to you, but they are similar. In order for understand why you think and feel the way you do, they have to be open-minded. See the conflict here?

    I see. Well, if you think I'm close minded, then no point in any further discussion.

    I'm not asking you to believe anything. I posted the story. That's it. Take it or leave it.

    Good question. I also wonder why you never told your parents there was a pedophile in the neighborhood. Are you one of those folks who think gays are pedophiles?

    I hope not.

    Lol, nope. My theory is that there are straights, gays, and pedophiles. I think pedos like children the way a straight guy likes women or a gay dude likes dudes and that it won't change--which is why I think once caught they should go to jail for life because it won't change.

    I agree with you on your theory. I think it's possible for a pedophile to abstain from sexual activity with children, but most cannot. It's a wonder they didn't just send the pedo priests to a monastery for life long retreat.

    Well I don't listen to lies and homosexuals molest children at a rate vastly higher than heterosexuals, the mainstream homosexual culture even commonly promotes sex with children. The fact are three-fourths of the people who decide the content of the front page of the New York Times are homosexual. So they only put out their opinions for their agenda. I don't play this game and know they are full of it.
