If you don't know, then you are getting your news from the wrong sources. Turn off the TV!

Whilst, I do not agree with everything you say I do agree with your overall message and I think you are very brave to say such things. In my opinion you are the person that you are based on genetics and experience. Our history (dare I say evolution?) has taught us to be cautious of things we do not understand, to fear things that threaten our safety and to remove danger from our lives so I think this is why we perhaps naturally judge others and seek the death sentence for child molesters. I think it is entirely appropriate to consider punishing and killing those who hurt the people that we love and care about but this should always be balanced with care and understanding. With different genetics and experience who knows what person we may have become? Maybe we might have been a child molester, drug addict, prostitute, politician or suicide bomber? Unfortunately our "civilization" has developed out of balance and now I am concerned for my children that they will live in a world where violence and fear have taken over. What a refreshing read!

It is obvious that even your friends think you are a little strange when it comes to this category of child molestation. But the principle either works or it doesn't. If it works up to a point but then it doesn't, it doesn't work at all. Obviously if someone is out in society doing damage to children or adults they need to be removed from society, maybe for a short time, maybe forever. But they don't have to be hated. Part of the problem in my opinion is about definitions of God, love, forgiveness etc. Those words have become almost stereotyped and sometimes people can think they are talking about the same thing when they are not even close. (That's an entire other discussion.) I believe there is a mystery to this life that transcends anything we can come up with. God is love. God doesn't love. God is love. I believe we spring from this "sea" of love and that no matter what we do or how we behave, that somewhere in the essence of who we are, that love is part of us like the ocean is part of the wave as Eric Butterworth said. Who are we to judge even the worst criminals' essence? We have every right to remove them from society. But to judge them? I don't think so. Bravo to your spirit. You are a very brave person.
