Re: Social Acceptance vs. Self Acceptance

Okay. I see why you would ask for references now.

I did understand you the first time however. That's why I mentioned the seeds of shame. Any speck of self-loathing has the likelihood of doing damage to health sooner or later.

But I think I understand your objection on the 'unrealistic slogan' level. You mean we can't all eliminate every seed of shame? Nope, but that doesn't mean it is not affecting our health.

I feel fine about being a pedophile. I don't think the fact it is always wrong to do anything sexual with a little girl matters.

Cool. If you feel fine about it, I don't have any interest in making you feel not fine.

I would feel just as good but no better if I thought it was occasionally OK to act sexually, if a person won the "available little girl sweepstakes".

Again, fine with me. That's you. Not me. And I don't play the lottery but I would sure as heck fire like to invest in a ticket for that sweepstakes.
