Sargon of Akkad: that post went right over your head.

I wasn't making a direct comparison, I was simply pointing out that attitudes toward sexuality and morality can shift over time. Your grandfather or great-grandfather probably looked at homosexuals with the same disgust you look at pedophiles, and would never believe they could be celebrated as mainstream. It's very arrogant and silly to believe that we, today, have reached the ultimate end of all human understanding, and that those who come after us will necessarily think the exact same way that we do because we got everything so right.

The point is that if present trends continue, your grandson will have as different an opinion on sexual morality from you as you do from your grandfather. That's just how social attitudes work and shift over time, especially if a culture has become degenerate and decadent.

The point is irrelevant.

No one's making the claim that we have "reached the ultimate end of all human understanding". Will future generations have different senses of morality than we do? Cerntainly. That, however, doesn't change the fact that their is no logical reason to criminalise of stigmatize consentual adult homosexuality. Also, if your going to cite sources, cite something that isn't funded by right wing Christians with a religious agenda. Just a brief look at the website you linked raises red flags.

Even if we accept that there's a disproportionate number of homosexual pedophiles relative to the general population, in no way does it follow that "most gays molest little boys". The overwhelming majority of child molesters are men; should I conclude from this that men are by nature sexually deviant and predatory, as some feminazis like to claim?

Your entire posiition is based on bad logic.

Many members of Group A also belong to Group B
Therefore, most members of Group B belong to Group A.

"Most child molesters are men, even though men make up only about half of the Population."
"Therefore, most men are child molesters." I might as well say I shouldn't leave my kid alone with a man, because he's almost certain to rape her, based on your reasoning.

I admit it would be interesting to know why 1/3 of child molesters molest boys. One of many possible reasons I could imagine, for example, is that male child molesters may have much easier access to boys as opposed to girls (priests, boyscouts, coaches, etc.). You've done nothing to support your conclusion that these statistics are due to some kind of inherent "deviance" in gays.
