Re: "Pedophilia is a sexual orientation, not a disease." - quotes
And I don't want to change the definition of orientation, the opposite, I want people to appreciate what it has classically meant. It's not a legal term*, it's a descriptive and academic term, where it has a fair amount of use.
I suppose in a very strict technical sense you;re right that the only way to 100% stop any children from being molested is to keep them away from paedophiles (and people who aren't peadophiles, but who rape children for other reasons - power etc), but that's an impossible task.
So what we as a society are doing right now is ensuring that they will never seek help, because they know what will result if they do. Which means you have almost the entire peadophile population uniknown and untreated to you. The worst of all possible worlds really. The 'pursue' side can only do so much, and the number of people we swift who have been consuming child porn for decades and decades or worse, impresses upon me just how many we're amost certainly missing.
You're right, there is nothing to stop those people making that argument. Just like there's nothing to stop people arguing 'well you can gay marry, why can't I marry dogs - maek u think', it would just be a particullarly bad argument from someone who isn't going to support our cause in the first place.

I honestly hope that changes in the future, but given your inability to listen to any constructive reason I find that quite unlikely.
