Greece answer me this, you're a philosopher aren't you? You come from a long line of philosophers.. Do we have free will? If we don't, and we're just bots in an advanced simulation, why are you worried about this?

There's nothing you can do but trust in 'God', I know it's difficult, I'm coming to terms with it too but what else can you do. Atheists will just say there's nothing you can do, doesn't feel so nice doesn't it.

>>25626400 I used to think I was like an animal driven by impulse, so I didn't even try to control myself. Now I don't know, maybe God is real and I do have free will, which is why I feel all the guilt from the bad things I did in the past suddenly weighing down on me. >>25626420 It's hard to trust in God. Maybe he doesn't care, maybe he does, I'm still not sure.

God doesnt necessarily disapprove of heterosexual pedos.

>>25626479 I thought so too, but it's not natural. And I should avoid lust either way.

>>25626462 It will forgive for even this, apparently, but you have to believe in It otherwise everything else is fruitless. It is putting me through a hard time right now, I sort of understand this, so that I can have a relationship with It because I have been neglecting It and not bothering with It for many years despite crying for help. So perhaps It is manifesting itself through the legal system. No I'm not in trouble for the usual things they put me in jail because I had an autistic meltdown that I had no control over and that they wouldn't forgive me for. Then in the jail, they told me God was in charge of this whole thing and I shouldn't be fretting as much. I still don't know what to do, as in your case too, but if its any consolation there must be a God because, because, wisdom of the majority.

>>25626462 https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wisdom_of_the_crowd And even reasoning this to a definition makes no sense, since a pastor told me, "I think therefore I am" doesn't make any sense either because it only goes so far. This whole thing doesn't make sense to the human mind insofar as the complexity is involved.

>>25626499 >if its any consolation there must be a God because, because, wisdom of the majority. Never thought of it that way. Hope it's true. Good luck with your legal problems, try to stay out of trouble in the future.

>>25626514 The complex things are better left for God, this would explain why atheistic types are unhinged about various issues. It can be simple but they don't seem to allow it. I'm not a theist myself, I am still agnostic, but given the circumstances of my life I don't know what else to say.

>>25626514 Just don't think about it, do other things, don't think about it.

>>25626514 The complex things are better left for God.

>>25626549 God aside, I still need a way to stop my pedophilia.

Can I "brainwash" myself to be attracted to old women? Would that work?

>>25626558 Don't think about it.

>>25626560 If we have free will we can manipulate ourselves to think about other things and change.

>>25626560 I think the key thing here is that you have to believe.

>>25626565 I will try forcing myself to fap to 20 year olds. This is a grave sin in itself, but it might be acceptable for the sake of the greater good, if it means I lose interest in children.

>>25626577 If the mind is pliable as it is, it can be changed

>>25626577 It's a muscle in itself, therefore, it can be changed and manipulated. Everything changes.

>>25626577 But it's more or less the same thing, don't think about it that though. Just don't think about it.

>>25626596 I tried, but my penis has a mind of its own. Maybe if I direct my sexual energy to normal women, I can eventually start dating and get married, at least.

Jesus tells u to gouge out ur eyes in such cases

>>25626602 This world is insane don't think about it.

>>25626602 God made it this way for Himself.

>>25626607 its a test from god he needs to gouge out his eyes or go to hell

>>25626611 Don't think about it, don't think about schizoes, don't think about what they say, just don't think about it.

>>25626613 jesus literally tells u to gouge otu ur eyes if they cause u to sin so op should listen to jesus if hes religous

>>25626617 Nobody knows what He meant by that.

>>25626618 cope enjoy hell (with eyes)

>>25626617 There might be an easier way...

>>25626620 He even says do not judge

are greek children cute?

>>25626621 maybe try chemical castration?

>>25626629 That's not going to help him and you know it

OP don't think about it, focus on other things, that's all I can say I don't know what else to say

There is nothing wrong with being a pedo. This is so sad. Death to the people who made you think this way. God made little girls so otherworldly (compared to older women) beautiful for a reason.

>>25626638 Naturally, it is this way, but society wants to impose force on this issue

>>25626638 Still if we do have free will, supposedly, and OP wants to change, then he can change

>>25626629 If it gets too bad I will. >>25626637 Believe me I tried not thinking of it, it helps temporarily but eventually I get tempted and lose control. >>25626638 Why is it only very few people think this way? It makes more sense for the majority to be right, especially because sex is for reproduction, and children cannot reproduce.

>>25626654 The majority is right, as much as I hate the average person, they are correct. I think we do have the ability to control ourselves to some extent. But I don't believe this.

>>25626654 But logic tells me they are correct.

>>25626233 Children are meant to be looked at. Nothing wrong with looking. Stop beating yourself up.

>>25626676 Meant to be looked at if you're a parent of that child, not anyone else.

I just remind myself that Polish king Władysław Jagiełło was 35 when he married 12 years old Jadwiga Andegaweńska. So this is all normal because I also like 12 year old girls

Thank you all for your help. I will go ahead with "Operation: Self-Brainwashing". Will report back in two weeks with progress.

>>25626709 There's no such thing as "exclusive" pedophilia, just un-brainwash yourself.

You are as god made you. Learn to love yourself instead.

Love yourself but don't excess, OP, always in moderation

Leave the complex things to God

>>25626560 You are likely implying that you was brainwashed (probably at KC) to like children, but that's false. KC just make like children a "normal" thing to you. You face a bunch of pedos together, some of them even posting cute children and you change your perspective about it to another more permissive related to what the whole society believes. Moreover, Pedophilia is a sexual orientation and it's resistant to cure. Conversion therapy was applied to pedos and the results are same as with gay people https://link.springer.com/article/10.1007/s10508-011-9882-6 Treatment for MAPs involve self-acceptance https://www.tandfonline.com/doi/full/10.1080/0092623X.2022.2149437

>>25626839 I already know it can't be cured. But like >>25626755 said, I can focus my attention to mature women.

>>25626839 Sexual orientation may only be having to do with the mind, if he can change his mind, he doesn't have to be a pedophile

>>25626839 The extent of these people going through "therapy" may not have been enough or, it may have been the wrong way of dealing with this issue People can change, this much is true, how much more true is it for their sexuality?

Killing yourself is the least you can do, you are lucky decent people can't get their hands on and punch you to death nonce.

>>25626891 Suicide is a sin.

>>25626874 >how much more true is it for their sexuality? I don't think it's possible. The most you can do is stop acting on it.

dedicate yourself to a life of virtue there is pleasure in renunciation

>>25626233 once Pedo, forever Pedo

>>25626867 A.K.A: Ego-Dystonic Pedophilia >>25626944 This is shoped. That's an adult ass.

Unironically pray to God

You can literally hack your brain to expand your aoa. My feed is a potpourri of beautiful girls and teens, some boys and even a few hot roasties.

OP, if we're in the image of God, supposedly, we're capable of anything.. especially because of our pliable Minds. If this is really what you want then you will act on it and it manifest as Reality. If this is not what you want, you won't act on it, and it won't manifest as Reality or, if you beg God enough, He might choose a Reality for you suitable for your disposition.

But the divine substance, I believe, is your Mind. Which can be changed at will.

It depends on how much you want to give into that specific will, how much you want to believe in it, etc.

They told me they can guide me but they can't 'show me the way'.

If it's really up to you, it's really up to you, it's not up to anyone else. That you have free will. They fought and died for these beliefs. And why would they lie about that for centuries?

Killing each other because of what Christ said or did, or because of Christ Himself, completely sefless in these actions for God and glory. They did this willfully, with mitigation of their own desires.

It was for God's sake that they killed, for Truth's sake, they needed to know OP. They needed to know.

And it's this very same Spirit which continues to this day in the act of discovery and innovation, for God's sake. It's what Isaac Newton did, for God's sake.

So know this, it's not just your will, but a greater Will.

>>25626233 s i n

>>25627091 I have to leave friend. I will read your posts when I get back.

>>25627096 Challenge what I say, read up on it, don't be in ignorance. If God is truly what He says He is it will have manifested in history.

>>25627096 We are the neurons and He is the Greatest Mind.

>>25627096 I'm NOT trying to be crazy either I'm trying to establish the great Truth here for all of our sakes, it's not good to be going through this world without a hint of anything.

>>25627096 So think about It (God) and come back, bye.
