You missed the point that if people reject God's law on sexuality with a sinful perversion of homosexuality, they will then be more likely to accept other perversions. It matters not what the perversion is, it is the underlying principle that matters. Homosexuals are far more likely to be pedophiles than normal people. The vast majority of victims of sexual abuse by Catholic priests were young boys.
This is completely absurd. The difference between a same-sex relationship between adults and a “relationship” between an adult and a minor is consent. A child lacks the understanding, experience, and societal standing to meaningfully agree to relations with an adult; ergo, such relations constitute rape. Two adults have a relatively equal capacity to agree to relations with each other. Because of the parties’ ability to consent, homosexuality is ethically and legally distinct from pedophilia.
The point to me is that once we break the underlying principle of God's law on sexuality, there is no way to hold other sexual abominations like homosexuality in check. Brad's point is not absurd. It is correct.
My point is that pedophilia is not “like” homosexuality. As delineated in my previous post, there is a crucial distinction— consent. It’s easy for society to draw a line based on that alone. Your post and this article exemplify the “slippery slope” logical fallacy— that is, eliding meaningful distinctions to create the impression that acceptance of homosexuality will naturally lead to acceptance of pedophilia. If you want to object to homosexuality based on your religious belief that it’s wrong, that’s your prerogative, but the argument you both are making here is illogical. These two things simply are not the same.

Please try to distinguish between “pedophilia” and “child abuse.” One is a thought, the other is an action.
