Let me quote Sparko again:

Pathology:
Medical health professionals use the term pathology to describe the study of disease and other abnormal conditions to include the causes, progression, and consequences. ... In this usage, the term pathological refers to abnormal or not typical, behavior or thinking that is caused by a mental or physical disease.

So again Tass, do you agree that sexual attraction to children is not a disorder? Yes or no?

[Sparko]

act

Fantasies are not the same as an attraction or sexual orientation Tassy. wow. But even having fantasies about sex with children would be a sign of a disorder.

Have you ever had any fantasies about or sexual attraction regarding children, Tassy? Go ahead you can admit it, it won't mean you are deviant at all, will it?

Your question betrays your ignorance. 'Mental disorders' are inextricably tied to behavior. A 'mental disorder' is a major disturbance or distress in thinking, feelings and behavior resulting in unacceptable behavior or disability or harm being caused in social situations or in the workplace. If they do not cause personal distress or disability and are not acted upon, they cannot be appropriately referred to as a mental disorder.

So speaks Dr. Sparko.

That definition can't be right.

OK, so sexual attraction to children is not a disorder, it is perfectly normal.

Something can be wrong without being a mental disorder. People can chose to do wrong while being perfectly sane. In fact, one of the more perverse modern myths is the overuse of mental illness as a means of relieving persons of responsibility for perverse actions. In fact the nutcase at infowars is trying to claim his perverse accusations around Sandy Hook can be blamed on a 'sort of psychosis'.

People are often quite sane and quite aware that what they are saying or doing is wrong as they do it.

Jim, as a Christian, wouldn't you agree that any sinful desire (whether acted on or not) is a psychological disorder? Degrees of insanity?

There's something very wrong with a person who assumes the right to make others miserable.

By which, I intended to signify that your question whether all sin would point to a psychological disorder can be answered "yes."

As a Christian is Donald Trump "psychologically disordered". Not only does harbor sinful desires toward women (some underage as alleged re the Jeffrey Epstein parties) but he famously "acts" on them...as per his Access Hollywood boasting.

Regardless, Christians do not determine what is or is not a psychological disorder, that's the role of psychologists.

Of course Tass, we all have the psychological disorder called sin. And who cares what psychologists say? Its not like it is science. After all sexual attraction to children was once considered a disorder by them, then just like that it wasn't. Gender dysphoria too was once consider a disorder, then it wasn't, same with homosexuality. They seem to change with the political winds.
