Your entire "theory" has zero (zip, nada, none, 0) statistics in it. You might try researching things using both statistics from the homosexual advocate and non-advocate groups. Yes, the APA, et. al., have become pro-homosexual advocacy groups (remember the pedophilia is just fine, and not harmful to the children victims, report that the APA published a few years ago). You might just find that what you say is not true. That people who have changed their way of homosexual thinking through God's strength are tuly active heterosexuals (or are the all telling fibs?).

And of course we are to love all men (and women, which was implied). We are not to love and endorse sin.

Actually, I examined the NARTH site for statistics. They speak a great deal of “overcoming homosexuality” and “decreasing same sex attractions”. But they never mention an increase in opposite sex attraction. Sexual attraction, as I have mentioned is both measurable and consistent over time.

Here is a typical passage from an article on the NARTH website:

In contrast, the married man with a homosexual background may find conjugal relations to be less intense, but he is left with a sense of rightness, contentment and well-being. Rather than feeling depleted, he is renewed, feels satisfied and good about himself, and experiences himself as an integral part of the heterosexual world.

This seems to back up my idea that ex-gays trade sexual fulfillment for social acceptance. Another article on the site heralded this trade off by upholding ex-gays as less likely to cheat on their wives with other women. That article has since been pulled.

I agree that this subject warrants further investigation. But wouldn’t it be better to find unbiased research?

If you have evidence to this I’d be very interested in seeing it. From what I’ve seen and read, ex-gay men do not experience an increase in attraction to women.

And of course we are to love all men (and women, which was implied). We are not to love and endorse sin.

No one’s saying you should. Nonetheless the evidence seems to suggest that while it is possible for homosexuals to change behavior, there is no know way to change sexual attraction. It would appear that homosexually orientated individuals have to walk a very hard path to gain the acceptance of their religious brethren.

Why do people continue to repeat this lie? The APA never published any studies stating that adult-child sex was not "harmful" (and in fact they released a press release affirming that their position is that it is harmful).

One study appears that suggests (not concludes -- it wasn't a complete enough study for conclusions) that child sexual abuse might not be as harmful for some victims as previously thought (though it is still harmful period) and NARTH twists it into an advocation of pedophilia.
