Matt explains why.
Update: Having concluded that we shouldn't be shocked that the Netherlands would produce a group of pedophiles openly striving to legitimize their lifestyle, I can hardly endorse this reaction. As Christians, our mission and hope is to call all people to repentance and new life through Jesus Christ in the hope that they won't meet the fate which this writer apparently wishes for some. See here, here, and here. Obviously, unrepentant pedophiles can't expect a share in God's kingdom. But one can hardly feel gleeful over the thought of people rejecting God's grace!

Mark: Thanks so much for the link. Link love is always good!
I, too, was troubled by LaShawn's post about this. I know that she's a committed Christian, but her sentiment isn't very Christlike. It seems that she's writing from a purely emotional level, and that is certainly understandable - it's a very human reaction. But I still don't believe that it is justifiable for a Christian to think that way. We are sinners and but for the grace of God, we could have the same desires that those men have.
