Not true. I have offered facts. They are right in front of you, yet
here you are denying their existence.

Speaking of "wishful thinking", you must have been indulging in it
heavily when you posted _that_ quote.

>otherwise, where are the multitude of success stories from these
ministries?

What 'multitude'? Why do you believe a _multitude_ is necessary to
disprove what I set out to disprove?

It isn't necessary. All I need is one case, that is enough to disprove
the grossly irresponsible claim that ***ual orientation is
hard-wired. And I have that one case, as you yourself admit below:

>well....maybe THAT person wasn't hard-wired that way....just

So why don't you just admit that they are wrong who say that ***ual
orientation is hard-wired?

>besides this "i know someone who...." isn't anyway to prove a point.

Sure, it is.
