So, I Got The P*dophelia Book, How’s Your Day Going?

HELLO NEW VISITORS. Please be warned, I am quoting portions of the book in the comments. THIS MAY BE TRIGGERING for abuse survivors.

Note: I do not condone, agree with, or endorse p*dophilia in any way or form and I find this book reprehensible.

You following the news? A pro-p*edophilia manual/manifesto book is being sold on Amazon, and the internet is, justifiably, shitting itself. There was a review on Amazon that got me thinking:

All of you people chastising Amazon for selling this book….did ANY of you ACTUALLY READ THIS BOOK? Or are you ONLY READING THE TITLE and then jumping the gun because of the title and NOT the CONTENT of the book?

I have seen this kind of argument all over the place today, so I decided to put my money where my mouth was: I paid for it and downloaded it.

There is discussion of “appropriate” sexual activities between minors and adults, including discussion of contraceptives. There are pornographic accounts of sex between minors and adults. The plight of p*dophiles is compared to the plight of the Jews during World War II. There are made up words. It IS a how to, and a how-to-not-get-caught. It is Not Nice at All. I felt queasy after skimming it.

A selection of quotes:

As long as both partners have passed the age or majority, there is no question of p*dophilia. So, a ninety-year-old is not a pedophile if its partner is thirteen and they both live in New Mexico.

Do not imagine that you have been given a mere code of ethics. Instead consider that the nectar of love has been given from the hand of compassion and grace. To this the eye of truth and fairness doth witness. Ponder upon this, O people of vision.

Now you have a brief summary of the crazy. Flame/link away. I will answer questions if you like.
