But I have this strange feeling that 50 years from now, "Child Molestation" will suddenly turn into "Child Love" and anyone who doesn't "love" their child is going to be considered "old fashioned", a God-hater (assuming atheists haven't stamped all religionists out of the world by then) since God is "love", and just not a progressive or forward thinker. The first countries to legally recognize "child loving" will be Mexico and Canada (considered on the forefront of progress) while the US waddles behind locked in a quagmire of differing opinions. (Of course, America will be bashed as once more for clinging to traditional (ie: primitive and base) concepts). Those that long for the time before "Child Loving" will be bashed for longing for a time when racism was rampant, women's rights were trampled in the 53rd state of Iraq, and when everyone was butt ugly.

Now, I view child molestation as abhorrent and rightly so. But I have this strange feeling that 50 years from now, "Child Molestation" will suddenly turn into "Child Love" and anyone who doesn't "love" their child is going to be considered "old fashioned", a God-hater (assuming atheists haven't stamped all religionists out of the world by then) since God is "love", and just not a progressive or forward thinker.

Those that long for the time before "Child Loving" will be bashed for longing for a time when racism was rampant, women's rights were trampled in the 53rd state of Iraq, and when everyone was butt ugly. Michael Jackson will be Governor of California - 3rd term and its new state bird will be rechristened as Peter Pan.
Actually, my rugby coach a few years back (hes an anglican priest) told me that story, vaguely, and used as a counterpoint homosexuality.
Sex related crimes and morality all travel down the same road to legality, eventually.

The important difference between child molestation and homosexuality that those metaphors ignore is that child molestation is an act that causes harm to members of society. Homosexuality involves consentual acts between adultsm, causes harm to no one, and is disliked primarily for religious reasons.
