"I think that being a BL certainly hardens one's heart towards God, both out of anger in being who they are and in frustration at not being able to be what they think they should be." I'm sure this happens in many cases, but not all. Personally, it had the opposite effect on me. I don't know why, but I never blamed God for what I was. When I realized I was a pedophile, it actually brought me a lot closer to Him because of one important factor......I had nowhere else to turn. Since I had only heard and read about pedophiles from the media, I thought I was lower than a snake's belly. And I marveled at how God still loved me and accepted me. One good thing that has come out of me being a pedophile is that it has kept me humble. If God can use me and accept me as I am, He can use and accept anyone. Dakota |
