Pedophilia Officially Classified as Sexual Orientation by American Psychology Association

A shocking announcement made by the American Psychological Association (APA) in its latest edition of the Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of Mental Disorders caused an uproar among pro-family organizations and many others, as the APA states it now classifies pedophilia as a sexual orientation or preference instead of a disorder.
Sandy Rios, cultural expert and talk show host on the American Family Radio network, has issued a statement on behalf of the American Family Association in response to the APA’s position on pedophilia:
"Just as the APA declared homosexuality an ‘orientation’ under tremendous pressure from homosexual activists in the mid-'70s, now, under pressure from pedophile activists, they have declared the desire for sex with children an ‘orientation,’ too. It's not hard to see where this will lead. More children will become sexual prey.
"Sanity will never return to this culture until truth is reclaimed. It is not now, nor has it ever been acceptable for men or women to desire sex with children. Any who struggle with this must at least know that it is wrong before they can combat it and seek change."
 
I know there was too much red-tape surrounding some of the child-safe standards (eg. teachers can't hug or help injured/sad students etc. eg. all men are pedophiles) but this is swinging far too much in the wrong direction. It make me sick, angry and disturbed. We have to make a stand for God's Truth! :(
 
What is next? Beastiality as a sexual orientation? Sex and marriage with your cat or dog? this is disgusting
 
I feel like necrophilia is gonna be next. Before long it will be socially acceptable to have coitus with a cheese wheel. :(

Unfortunately, it already is in one or two European countries. Sick freaks! Yuck!
 
Maybe it's just me but I'd prefer to think there are people sexually attracted to horses than sexually attracted to children.

"Our initiative wants to promote that an open zoophile-lifestyle is possible without incurring negative social backlash."

"This association sees itself as a mediator between the zoophile and the non-zoophile community. We’d like to promote the open and honest exchange of ideas and positions to find answers on open questions together.

I'm glad they asked the animals first. No. Sick!
 
Ok. We now return to our regularly scheduled sanity.

ADJUSTMENT OF WORDING OF THE CLINICAL SIGNIFICANCE CRITERION FOR THE PARAPHILIAS

In the Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of Mental Disorders, Third Edition, Revised (DSM-III-R), the criteria sets for the Paraphilias included a clinical significance criterion (i.e., "the person has acted on these urges, or is markedly distressed by them") in recognition of the fact that the mere presence of paraphilic sexual urges or fantasies do not necessarily warrant a diagnosis of a paraphilia in an individual. During the preparation of Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of Mental Disorders, Fourth Edition (DSM-IV), the wording of this criterion was adjusted (i.e.,”the fantasies, sexual urges, or behaviors cause clinically significant distress or impairment in social, occupational, or other important areas of functioning") as part of the effort to adopt uniform wording for the clinical significance criterion across the disorders.
An unforeseen side effect of this rewording was that it led to confusion regarding the DSM-IV definition of Pedophilia. Specifically, the replacement of the DSM-III-R phrase “acts on these urges” with the phrase “causes clinically significant…impairment” was misconstrued to represent a fundamental change in the definition of Pedophilia. Some readers misunderstood this new wording as greatly restricting the number of individuals who would be diagnosed with Pedophilia by requiring that they be distressed by their behavior in order to qualify for the diagnosis. This was clearly never intended, since it is well recognized that many (if not most) individuals with Pedophilia are not distressed by their pedophilic urges, fantasies, and behaviors. In fact, rather than restricting the diagnosis of Pedophilia to fewer individuals, the original purpose of the change was to potentially broaden the diagnosis to include individuals whose pedophilic urges interfered with functioning in a variety of ways (e.g., causing impairment in occupational functioning because of a preoccupation with pedophilic thoughts and images at work). There was never any intention to no longer include individuals who acted on their urges.
To remove any possible ambiguity regarding whether acting out pedophilic urges with others is sufficient for a diagnosis of Pedophilia, the original DSM-III-R wording has been reinstated. Furthermore, the original DSM-III-R wording has been reinstated for other paraphilias that inevitably harm their victims (i.e., voyeurism, exhibitionism, and frotteurism). Because some cases of Sexual Sadism may not involve harm to a victim (e.g., inflicting humiliation on a consenting partner), the wording for sexual sadism involves a hybrid of the DSM-III-R and DSM-IV wording (i.e., “the person has acted on these urges with a non-consenting person, or the urges, sexual fantasies, or behaviors cause marked distress or interpersonal difficulty”).

What gets me is the lack of research by christians who just want to be I TOLD YOU SO WE ARE BEING PRESECUTED THE WORLD IS ENDING NOW CHICKEN LITTLE MARTYRS

This is why Christians look like idiots to the rest of the world. Because we regurgitate information with no actual basis or fact. Please do us ALL a favor as the body of christ and do a little research before you make us all look like fools.
