Why did God create pedophiles?
.
As a Christian, I am often asked about the intersectionality between my faith and my orientation. I’ve researched and written extensively about it on my blog. https://amapin.love/?s=christianity To answer the initial question, why did God create pedophiles? Simple. God needs people to love, advocate, and care for children. The meaning of pedophilia has been stretched…

You can change the world; Make friends
.
Build an army of friends. To change society, you have to play a social role in it. Your friends become your allies. First I want to clarify the kind of friendship I mean. I mean the sort of friendship where one can offer support, while also being able to disagree with someone and criticize them.…

No one can tell you how you feel.
.
Excerpt from a conversation I had with another MAP Just know that having an orientation doesn’t make you a monster. It doesn’t mean you are destined to act unethically. You explained your feelings for children in your previous email. Don’t let anyone tell you that those are not your feelings, or that your feelings are…

Is minor attraction a sin in the Christian faith?
.
This piece was originally published on Aug 7, 2023. Just wanna address a post directed at me about Christianity and minor attraction. Dear Bowsac Noodle, First: Let he who is without sin cast the first stone. Jesus hung out with the sinners: the prostitutes, the drunks, the corrupt tax collectors, etc. He didn’t hang out…

The Keys to Self-Acceptance
.
This piece was originally published Mar 24, 2023. I was recently asked how I was able to accept myself as a minor-attracted person. It was only after I realized: I didn’t choose this orientation. An unchosen orientation doesn’t make one evil. I’m comfortable with my feelings. I know that I have no bad intentions and…

Who Does This Help?

This piece was originally written on Jan 29, 2023. One of the philosophies I try to adhere to is asking: Who does this help? In the midst of conflict, ask yourself who is this helping? What good can come out of what I’m saying or doing right now? If you can’t give an honest answer…

Letting Ourselves Be Vulnerable
.
This piece was originally written on Jan 5, 2023. I had the pleasure of meeting a fellow MAP through video chat yesterday. This person is someone I’ve talked with for a few years online. I’ve always gotten good vibes from them, and we’ve become rather close recently. It was a fun chat and it was…

This is My Ministry
.
This piece was originally written on Jan 2, 2023. I joined the MAP community as a young, naive, teen. I was hopelessly in love with little girls and the prospect of a lifetime of loneliness seemed inevitable and devastating. I had radical ideas of legalizing relationships between adults and tween girls and looked for ways…

Ethos
.
This piece was originally written on Dec 21, 2021. Sometimes that’s all we can do. Love them and leave a good impression on them, so when they grow up and look back, they hold no contempt for us. If I’ve done that, then I’m successful, as bittersweet as it may be.

Coming to terms
.
This piece was originally written on Oct 22, 2021, in reply to a MAP who was just coming to terms with their orientation. A lot of MAPs were in denial about their orientation, and some were antis. Before I accepted myself, I thought all pedophiles were bad. I said all sorts of anti-pedophile stuff, almost…
