Back in my days it was called sales pitch, or an ad. Granted, I didn't read very deep into it because I'm allergic to ads and the language like that makes me irrationally angry, but after my very brief glance and short clicking through links, I didn't find any links to anything but another ads, endless paragraphs of ads no doubt generated by the same program they're trying to sell.

it should be a mandatory reporting

This is the only point of this conversation, you agree with it, and yet you continue arguing with the point that you agree on.

Priests don't do mental health counseling, even if they try, and when they try they bring harm where help should be, but even if they did help, this law, that we all arguing for, would've not impede with this, it only required mandatory reporting of instances of child abuse.

Calling whatever people do with their flags "dumb" is bad, uncalled for, and in bad taste. Calling motherfucher who dun it "motherfucher" is ok, citizenry, and possibly even praxis

Sorry, wasn't my intention

not punishing the guy who self reported and tried to get help.

It's not. What. The. Law. Is. About.

And you're missing the point of what we're talking about. Right now, the law allows active child molesters to execute well known religious loophole, where they "confess" their crimes to an unaccounted guy from religious organisation, and this act makes the crime nonexistent according to their proposed worldview. What it actually does, is that it clears the guilt from the perpetrator, allowing him to continue his acts. Knowing history of Catholic church, if it does anything is that it allows child molesters to exchange experiences and tips for future crimes.
Removing all oversight from this process increases the amount of crime going on, and that's what you're advocating for.
The point of letting people who didn't act on their urges to get psychological help they need to continue not act on it, is obviously correct opinion you have. It's just it doesn't apply here.

I want to remind you once again, that you are defending actual child abusers. Not just people who have some fucked up desires and not act on them, but actual childfuckers. You are saying that people who already fucked kids should be shielded from law by religion because some other people also want to fuck kids but don't do that.

I don't think it's strictly speaking better, (but I'm biased because I love Strugatsky), it's such a separated thing, it's completely different from the Roadside Picnic, the book it's supposedly based on

The way he starts with something, then goes on a tangent, and then pulls it all tightly together in the end is just master craft all around. The guy is absolutely amazing

Always bring a cart full of bones with you everywhere you go. You will certainly not regret having a cart full of bones.

The law suppose to make them report child abuse, real one, that happened already. You can talk with your magic provider about how much you want to diddle kids, and he still can do 3% of what real therapist should be doing, if you want. The law was supposed to catch those who already diddle kids. Which nobody should be doing, no matter how much they want to.
