Why did god create homosexuality?

It has always brought about great confusion as to why Yahweh/Allah created homosexuality. He permitted all of the world to exist and designed each aspect about it but why would he create a sin which cannot be avoided even on the biological level.
This is easily equated to god punishing people for being of a certain ethnicity. It seems illogical that a god would punish his own creation for his own design

1. I don't believe that God "created" homosexuality anymore than he created attraction to blondes over brunettes, or preference of chocolate over vanilla. He created people who are physically different from each other, have different interests and personalities, and different preferences. If everyone was the same in every aspect of life, we wouldn't have much variety in ANYTHING in this world.

2. I don't believe that homosexuality is a sin. Homosexuality is a sexual orientation, which is as you said something that people don't "choose". People don't choose who they are attracted too anymore than they choose what their favorite flavor of ice cream is. You like what you like! Outside of "original sin", any personal sin necessitates a "choice of action".

WRONG! Asexuals do not what to worry about AIDS, HIV, gonococcus, romantic affairs, sexual frustration, genitalia inadequacy, sexual distractions, passionate murders, spousicide, spousal nagging, spousal stupidity, infidelity, adultery, wedlock children, premarital union, extramarital socializing, jealousy, spousal aging, sexual attraction, mammary unit appeal, sexual performance nor giving a damn about how fat a woman looks in a shirt to small for her.

Asexuals also have more free time, better attentiveness, less social issues, improved health and future health, better social skills and more fun plus we eat cake.

Hi sojourner, isn't sin the transgression of the Law? Or do you have a different standard for sin? Oh, and by the way, would the DSM-IV classify murder as a sin? KB

No. Xtians aren't subject to Mosaic Law. The only law we're subject to is love. In what way does homosexuality "transgress" love?

The DSM IV classifies homosexuality as normal. The sociopathy that leads to murder is not normal. How can "normal" be sin?

Hi sojourner, the Mosaic Law requires one to not murder. Are you not subject to that command? KB

Yeah but most homosexuals want a spouse. I know the idea of being alone when I'm older isn't pleasant. Is there anything wrong with this and can homosexuals with a spouse not be close to god?

I believe everything needs to be done within laws and regulations.

Eating is natural, but the amount of eating, when to eat, what to eat is important for health. If we just eat whatever, whenever, too much or too less, it is unhealthy.

same goes with everything else. Like driving must be done withing certain limitation and laws. Going too fast, too slow, not stopping when need to stop can all be harmful.

What I am getting at is that, everything in life requires regulations, limits and laws, so it may be practiced safely and properly, otherwise it can be harmful.

Now, sex is not a dirty thing by itself. But just like everything else must be under certain laws, limits and regulation, otherwise, it can be harmful both to physical health and spirit. So, I believe the Law of Marriage between a man and a woman for the purpose of having a family is that limit and law that can make sex safe and meaningful. Anything outside of this law in my opinion is not proper. just my belief..

I say to hell with all sex. It is all dirty and has been used to make young Jihadists martyr themselves and maintains Western societies in a state of degradation by having plastering eroticism across every billboard, television show and media entertainment.
If people treat sex like ketchup and spread it over everything then it becomes a medallion which has lost its luster by being exposed to much.
Sex belongs in the bedroom and not one very TV ad. I have seen so many ads use sex to market things and having it be used excessively in every piece of cinematic entertainment.

My greatest desire is to see mankind loose the ability of sex for just a few weeks to see how they respond. Acting like children with a new toy they have to tell everybody about how important sex is. Modesty is a dying belief these days
