The statement "Adultery is wrong" is subjective opinion, agreed to by some and not others, as is "Homosexuality is wrong." On the other hand, homosexuality is legal and adultery is not illegal.

All true. And...?

I see the stench of insults against gay people, even though largely unspoken, are hanging around this thread about paedophilia.

It's like watching the Jeremy Kyle show - you never, ever feel totally clean again once you've been subjected to the nastiness.

I think the thread just shows how confused people are about legality, morality, sexuality, objectivity etc. Including religious viewpoints.

You don't look at that vile rubbish, do you?

It is WRONG that paedophilia and homosexuality are often lumped together by very sick bigots. >:( Many paedophiles are heterosexual!

I see Ted Heath was suspected of child sexual abuse when an allegation was made about him in the 90s, but it wasn't acted upon! :o

That one wqas bandied about a lot back then.

It was one of the things that left-wingers and old-school Tories used because they didn't like the idea of an unmarried Prime Minister.

But it doesn't mean the claims lack validity. My brother-in-law's late father shared a billet with Heath when in the army during WW2. I know he didn't care for Heath much as he was very abrupt and could be unpleasant.

And, equally, being abrupt and unpleasant isn't an indicator of a paedophile, it's an indication of an arsehole.

As with all of these accusations, in the absence of any actual facts or even the breadth of testimony, it's best not to speculate and to trust that the people who do have access to the information will compile it accurately.

I don't know that it was intentional, but when I saw it it seemed like an implication - apologies if that wasn't the case.

Sorry it was certainly not intended, just an aside.
