Jude 2

Some are for castrating pedophiles and some sex offenders to prevent them from committing such crimes again. I learned this week that at least in the case of some animals castration prevents reproduction but not intercourse or obviously the desire to breed.

Is it the same for humans?

Not always, but pretty much. What it won't stop is the lust for power, control and meanness at the expense of another, which is far and away the greater factor in sex crimes than is libido.

Castration won't stop them, but decapitation will.

Actually, a simple prostatectomy would do the job. But, the decapitation would keep their pathological deviancy from manifesting itself a different way.

dofan has spoken well. Most sex crimes are not "sexual" in nature. The predators generally have other psychological issues that manifest themselves in that way.

The issues of power and control are almost always at the forefront of these problems.

Castration has not proven to be a detriment. Nor has any drug we have seen to date. This is an issue of the heart and mind.

And then there are some people who are just mean and need to be shot!

Or they just need Jesus to perform a miracle in their life.

The problem I find with that answer Ryan is that the church has seemed to be very unwilling to go into the hospitals, prisons, and wards to work with these folks. Instead they have left the job of evangelization, deliverance, and counseling up to secular psychologists and pharmaceutical companies. I agree that Jesus is the answer but why are we not giving them the answer?

do you volunteer at those places, or do they not let you in with your knife and Gomco clamp? hehehehehhee (just kiddin ya, man)

Funny Rambo. I know you were kidding but I would like to clarify that I have never been for castration. I don't know enough about the subject to be for it. I just found the horse/gelding thing interesting.

I am in school presently and being equipped with tools that I believe would be very beneficial to people with these problems. Of course I am but a novice and such psychological and sinful difficulties are beyond my present scope and ability. In the near future I hope to be ready to go to these and offer them Jesus.

Well, I would hang them upside down first, then pull their toenails out...







J/K, I don't get why this is always such a recurring thread..!
