First, specific acts which are not inherently wrong may be wrong for YOU. For example, the Bible implies (or states, I forget) that while eating meat is OK, it is wrong for people to eat meat (or eat it in a particular circumstance) if that will cause either you or your brother to stumble. If you are feeling guilty about something, that should be a clue that, at the very least, it is wrong for you (or wrong for you in the circumstances you are doing it). >Furthermore, thousands of the pics I and my friends have taken are >being circulated throughout the net and this has been >a guilt-pain for me since I feel that I am contributing to the kids >being treated as sex objects. In addition to the "is it right" aspects you may have legal aspects (you did not and should not say if these pictures are illegal - this is a public forum, after all). Also, even if legal, you have the issue of distributing pictures without the permission of the parents - this is a matter of morality and civil law, not criminal law. God told us to respect our civilian governments. You should know, I am not a pedophile. My opinions of pornography, sexual acts with children, etc. are in line with most non-pedophiles (for the sake of being civil and out of respect for the nature of this forum, I will not go into them here - email me or catch me in IRC if you want to discuss this further). I have met (online) pedophiles that I consider friends who agree with me and those who do not. -d (david_tx on IRC [EFNET usually]) |
