Personally, I think it is a hormonal anomaly. I took a class in college called "Anatomy of Psychology" and it opened my eyes. Hence, to me it is biological and unchangeable.

why would he create a sin which cannot be avoided even on the biological level.
He wanted to teach us how Love can overcome Evil, you can't very well do that if you don't have any knowledge or examples of what evil is can you?
Why do you think being a homosexual is sin? Who said this is a sin?
Yes, religions say that 'acting' is sin. It doesn't say 'being' is sin. It is said, there are people who naturally or for whatever reason they feel attracted to same Sex. No religion ever says this is Sin. What religions says is that, this feeling must not be expressed in a sexual way. Do people have will power?
For example I like to eat lots of sweet things and specially chocolate. My doctor says it is bad for me, my blood triglyceride goes too high. Now, do I have will-power to avoid what I want? Yes, we do!
But as to why He created different people even with homosexual feelings? My answer is, I believe the World is a place of all kinds of Tests. Only when a person overcomes his desires, and submits to the Will of God, passes the Tests of God and worthy of nearness to Him.
Yeah, god's TEST.Why do you think being a homosexual is sin? Who said this is a sin?

That's a pretty sadistic deity right there. Create people with homosexual desires, but test them by telling them not to love
Most animals to live another day, they need to kill and eat another animal. Who created this nature? Is this also sadistic?
We might just say, God does what He Wills. Does God have to make things the way we like? or we should abide by His Will?
Yet you agree he made homosexuality yet gay people should be celibate. We should never love or no the closeness and intimacy of another? We should be alone?
Yes that's sadistic. It means he made gay people to suffer and be alone.
That's cruel

No, I said, We ALL have to choose between God and worldly desires. Worldly things pass, but God does not pass. who do you choose to be near too? another human who dies or the everlasting God?
Moreover, many of heterosexuals never experience sex. many who get married end up divorce and heart broken. many loose their partners because either he dies or cheats. It is vain imagination to rely on things that don't last. Many like each other as long as their spouse is good-looking to them. Once they get old, they don't wanna see her.
I've always wondered why The creator of the Universe,countless planets, billions of galaxies, the solar system, the sun, the moon, and the Earth, would be so worried about someone's sexual orientation.
I am ashamed of your thinking, I thought we understood each other.
Do you seriously not see how homosexuality can ruin the universe? Did you know that if over 500 million people turn gay it can result in a total galactic collapse?
Personally, I would rather just be myself and nowhere near a God that says I cannot love whom I desire. I see it as a very cruel to make people fall in love with someone who they will be punished for all eternity for loving your hearts desire if that is how it really is.But as to why He created different people even with homosexual feelings?

We have an ability to chose right? That is the God created given ability.
Anything else is a matter of choice.
Let's say that we are weak in some points, based on that... and are persuaded that the abnormal seems normal, than what sin is there if we are not convicted otherwise?
Could we say the bible is correct in saying, Hos_4:6 My people are destroyed for lack of knowledge: because thou hast rejected knowledge, I will also reject thee, that thou shalt be no priest to me: seeing thou hast forgotten the law of thy God, I will also forget thy children.
Being destroyed, meaning, missing Gods blessings for there would be in harmony with his desires.
God knows the wicked potential of the flesh that He gave us guidelines, rules and commandments.
The ladder being the nail in the coffin of our fallen estate.

So you are saying that us asexuals are cheating god? Since we are born naturally celibate? Also I would love to hear the benefits of celibacy as well.
Those heterosexuals who never experience sex are the ones who are born in a culture where it is impossible to get sex.
Homosexuality should be abandoned on the fact that our spirit is eternal and the flesh is not? Is there not love amongst each other in the spirit world? Can 2 gays not love each other in such a state? Why wait until death to love the person you love, everyone has a right to feel miserable
I don't think homosextuality should be abandoned. People are free as long as they don't harm anyone.
I don't think there is necessarily any benefit in being asexual either.
What I was pointing out was for all people there are difficulties. It's not like not having a spouse means loosing the main purpose of life, if one believes the ultimate goal in life is nearness to God.
