    Fetishes aren't equal to sexual orientation.

    Very good. And not one thing I said indicated that fetishes are equal to sexual orientation. And since pedophilia, ****philia and ephebophilia are not fetishes, but disorders, I am confused as to why you even made such a statement. Handedness (left or right) is not equal to sexual orientation either, but like sexual orientation and the three disorders, is something innate. And simply having the disorder is not an automatic indication of acting upon the urges it brings. Furthermore, child sexual assault can occur without attraction.

    So before we go any further, are you using "fetish" in a strictly clinical context, or in the common everyday layman context?

    The clinical term is paraphilia. That's a fetish.

    Not exactly. Kink, Fetish and Paraphilia are different levels of behaviors.

    In the case of pedophilia, since it is a disorder, it does not count as a fetish. It is elevated beyond that.

    No they vote against your interpretation.

    What you're doing is presenting a no true Scotsman fallacy. Or an appeal to purity.

    You set it up as saying no Christian believes x.

    When someone points out that some Christians do,

    You say no true Christian believes in x.

    That's not what I think. THat's from a professional in the field. He doesn't care what your non professional self thinks.

    we're the random people. He's the one with the training and education on the subject. You're not, and I've not claimed to be. If you are going to dismiss the experts, then you have already lost. Counter with another expert if you can.

    You made a claim and I doubt it.

    Also you make typing errors and I don't hold those against you.

    I will never have an issue if my typing errors cause confusion and I am asked to clarify. Some typo are obvious as to what was meant. Not all are.

    Don't give me this garbage you're just abandoning the argument.

    It always twists down into this kind of bickering with you. It's because your position is indefensible and you know it.

    I can't proceed any further. I have presented the evidence that supports my position. You have failed to bring any counters. Until you do, then it's just banter until you can manage such a thing.

    To you which is an exercise in self aggrandizement and nothing else.

    I don't have to counter your claims to doubt them. If you think my doubt is irrational I don't care.
    Than it'll be banter until time stops. I'll never accept your attempt to shift the burden of proof from yourself.

    You'll never get counters to your **** "evidence." I don't counter ****.

    The attempt is yours. I've provided the proof. You can doubt all you want. It's still there. If you can't counter it, that's fine. You concession by dodge is now on record via multiple posts.

    It may be proof on your opinion. I disagree
    I always doubt apologetics.

    And if it's proof in your opinion i won't tell you that your belief is wrong.

    I don't have to counter opinion with anything other than opinion.


    First I'm not a concession so don't call me one. Lol.

    Second tell yourself whatever you want to feel like you won. I don't care.

    Dodge again. It's expected of you by now. I provided the proper use of the terms from a professional, the one who knows. Thus not an opinion. Unless you can show how you know better and have the expertise to back that up, then you have done nothing.

    BTW, What is it that you think I am being an apologetic for?

    I disagree with the one cherry picked opinion you cited.

    One clown's opinion does not equate to proof or evidence.

    I am dodging nothing. You just suck at proving things.
    Pedophilia.
