It has always been a mental illness and treated as such by rule (like schizophrenia or bi-polar). You don't "treat it" by allowing it to continue, but by confronting it.
It is the result of sin and the fall. Or perhaps demonic. But in no way condoned or accepted. We must unite to stand against such evil.
I agree, and take no pleasure in saying this, but confronting such evil biblically results in a conviction of lifetime imprisonment. Certain sins or evils are judicially to be dealt w/ by death, now-a-days without death peoples are threatened with "potential" blood guilt for confronting such sins (bullying) in the public arena, for example, what if the person in question results to suicide? Without attempting to sound overly extremist, there are sins which are not only devastating to an individual, family, but community and nation. We as a nation really are not far off now from the days of Nero. Since the Noahide covenant government was ordained to slow or be an obstacle to evil, a stumbling block, but today our government in a lot of ways can be considered morally tyrannical. Such words as illness often convey the necessity of care and treatment, compassion, and empathy. If so, I do not agree w/ the treatment the World prescribes. Oftentimes man knows better in the mind of mankind and oftentimes the remedy is actually moral regression.
The indoctrination of acceptable behavior has been near a decade or more in America. While an obvious change of policy and law has taken place against child mutilation there remains an obvious problem. The people associated w/ such remain, and I'm referring directly against the "professional or essential health care workers" throughout the socialized system of medicine. What will be the next step?
I do not think we can change or better the World but only make the World better by its definition, a system apart from G-d or a system that opposes G-d. If the World was moral, then the World would cease to exist by its very definition.
