If your opinions are rational, rationally argue for them. Why is paedophilia detestable (i.e., "deserving abhorrence or scorn") or horrific? Why is our legal indulgence in it immoral? If these conclusions rest on your belief that "the natural order of things involves men's attraction to women and women's attraction to men," you need to demonstrate that a nature-based moral system is useful and consistent. Indoor plumbing probably wouldn't fall under your definition of "natural;" what's in your bathroom?

Remember that appeals to the majority are always fallacious.
