I will assert my agreement though we have agreed on this point before. I am not in the business of thought crimes.
I believe in pushing people to get help, but also it needs to be made clear that anyone who is supposed to be providing that help cannot leak or will face the penalty of imprisonment.
People fear getting help that would help them sort themselves out because of crusaders disguised as therapists, psychologists or psychiatrists. They fear their lives will be ruined if they elect to seek help.
But for those who offend, without a shadow of a doubt? Cruel and unusual punishment to strike fear into those who would harm children.
If an appeal to a moral compass doesn't work, fear will.
Death is very effective at preventing repeat offenses.
Not opposed to people getting help, but allowing them to hide behind a diagnosis isn't going to help. You don't send an alcoholic into a bar with a wad of cash hoping they will come out sober - in the same way, hiding a pedo in a neighborhood full of kids isn't fair to the kids, the parents, or the rest of society.
You don't let them hide behind a diagnosis, you let them get the help they need without fear that getting help will cause them to spiral out of control.
The people who want to get help have the moral compass to resist or change, but if you remove hope from them then they are more likely to give in. We simply cannot go down the road of thought crimes, we have already started down that path thanks to the left and the end of that path is a worse dystopia than present day even.
A system that punishes the innocent is evil. Period. Unfortunately there are times when the religious institutions try justify thought crime and they need to be resisted too. "Sin" for example, is not a sword for any of us to use against others and yet we do every day. This is also because all sin is considered equal, even though reality says otherwise.
There is a clear difference between sin and evil. Sin is meant to teach. Meant to grow you as a person. Meant to help us experience good times and bad so we can appreciate the different feelings. Where it starts to become evil is when your actions begin to harm others. When you start violating the consent of others, that is when you are on the dark path. The slippery slope is NOT what we "allow" people to do or don't do. We don't have any authority to decide what's best for people in the privacy of their lives. That is the mindset of tyrants/insecure children. What the slippery slope actually is, is allowing others to harm others and doing nothing to stop it.
Consent is the moral absolute that transcends all ideology and is irrefutable as being the chief moral standard.
