I think that it is useful to separate people who harm children from people who do not. If being overly broad is your thing, you could just call everyone sinners, then you would be in the same category as the pedos. Once someone's sexual nature has been imprinted, there is no changing it. It was not innate from birth, but for all intents and purposes, it is innate as an adult. If you want to reduce harm to children, we need to focus our efforts on exactly the people who are harming them. Burning bridges like you seem to want to do is not going to help the most children.
In the last sentence of your first paragraph, you say that it is not innate, however, your last paragraph seems to be supporting a conclusion around innateness. Do you care to elaborate or make up your mind?
Only bisexuals choose who to enjoy sex with. If you think otherwise, then you are either bisexual or when you try choosing to willfully change your orientation, you will find that it cannot be done. Some people theorize that most people who identify as straight have some degree of attraction to the same sex, but usually not enough to be of consequence. For those, sexual orientation may feel like a choice, but it is not. You just have to be near 100% attracted to 1 sex or the other to intuitively understand this.
Most people understand that an alcoholic who chooses not to drink is still an alcoholic. To use your word, it is practically innate. If you think that someone can change that, then you do not understand addiction, and then I understand that you did not contradict yourself, you were simply wrong about 2 things.
Repenting and giving yourself to God does not change your nature. This dedication suppresses base instincts. If a person's faith/dedication wavers, then their nature reasserts itself.
This may be one thing that we can agree on, to some degree. In defensive driving, if you do not want to run into something, then do not look at it. But lying about human nature begets more lies. The correct thing to do is to understand it correctly, and not use imperfect shortcuts to understanding which are true in some cases and false in other cases. This situation is why Christianity lost to LGBT activists, and Christianity is not going to come back to any significant degree if this persists.
God changes your drive/motivation, the base human instincts are suppressed, and it might seem like they are gone. After the so called transformation, they are just hidden. Hidden does not mean gone. This is why sinners are always sinners.

Too many in America think freedom is from God's law unfortunately
