Being an Englishman, Richard Dawkins sees no harm in ‘mild pedophila’

September 11, 2013 By Kathy Shaidle

Not even a tiny bit shocking.

What did I just tell you two weeks ago?

Then there’s Mark Shea, who has been saying for years:

The day is coming when our Ruling Class will curse the Church, not for covering up pedophilia, but for opposing it.

One of my readers — echoing Shea — wrote me yesterday:

The hilarious thing is that atheists like Dawkins consider themselves “Brights” (…)

I guess pedophilia is bad in Dawkins’ view only if Catholic priests do it. 

Judging from this remark he made in 2006, I think that is really his view:

“Being fondled by the Latin master in the Squash Court was a disagreeable sensation for a nine-year-old, a mixture of embarrassment and skin-crawling revulsion, but it was certainly not in the same league as being led to believe that I, or someone I knew, might go to everlasting fire,” wrote Dawkins.  ”I do not believe that I, or they, suffered lasting, or even temporary damage from this disagreeable physical abuse of power. Given the Latin Master’s eventual suicide, maybe the damage was all on his side.”
