To be honest I don't believe pedophilia is a sickness at all. It is all in the mind. Pedophilia isn't a disease or mental disorder. Just another preference. I think society does what the popular opinion wants. I think you're more mentally sane than most people.

Who said you didn't need God because you're a pedophile? I never said that nor meant it. God doesn't belong to anyone. If you want God you will eventually find him or he'll find you. I don't know how God works. I blame the churches.

They are the opposite of love. Or maybe the Pastors know nothing about Jesus or have him in themselves. Find yourself a good church. I have a pastor that has a gay sister and makes no effort to change her. He just lets her be herself.

I'm sorry for your friends though. What their feeling isn't and never their fault. God loves you and your friends. I'm sorry. You're strong. I don't think I could ever deal the way you do.
