If there is anything in the universe that your god is not responsible for then he can't be god. End of story.

I am going to be v. nice about this, and in no way am I going to insult you. However, I would like to point some things out and ask you some questions.
Question 1: Can you read Aramaic, Greek or Hebrew?
Question 2: Have you read your Bible in those languages?
Obviously not. I'm not sure what version your using, but it doesn't really matter. I'll guess at KJV or NIV.
There is no word for "homosexual" in any of the Biblical languages.
The Old Testament verses used to condemn hoosexuality merely condemn the Jews use of the temple prostitutes of the Canaanite religions that were in practise at the time.
The New testament verses in the Pauline Epistles use the Greek word "arseketinos" which translates to "defilement of the marriage bed" these prohibitions are not on homosexual activities in general, but adultery, which everyone would agree is wrong.
these verses were not translated as they are now until centuries after being written. It's the same matter with the Edwardians being sqeamish about writing "do not marry foreign whores" in their sacred book and instead used the nice euphamism "do not breed with dogs" in instead.
I might advise that before you try to condemn people or accuse them of being demonically corrupted you try reading the earliest Greek, hebrew and Aramaic copies possible, which were still copied years after every Apostles' death.

Hmm so what is your view on a majority of the priests out there being gay? He may even be preaching at the church you go to.
In the New Testament Jesus says nothing about homosexuals. Paul condemns them, not because he wants to increase the population, but because he opposes all sexual activities, even within marriage (1 Corinthians 7:1, 5, 8-9, 29).
According to the Bible, if you are a Jew, you must not be gay; if you are a Christian, you must not just refrain from homosexual activities, you should not have sex at all - unless you are a weak-willed wimp who cannot practice self-control.
Unless you are a Jew or a Christian virgin, the Bible give you no right to bash gays. And if you want to be like Jesus, you won't condemn them at all.

I'll tell you this fact. If it were true that my being gay was going to cause me to go to hell, then God would surely not have blessed me by its presence which I have experienced several times. I am not kidding. I di d not even have to read the Bible nor did I have to be chosy who to love for God to always love and bless me. I've had many prayers answered instantly.
So what you are speaking is just blatant ignorance. Since when do you dictate who goes to hell and who does not. The world is not limited to the Bible, open your eyes and realize that. There are billions of people in China and they are not Christians and have never read the Bible, does that mean they go to hell? I mean come on, surely God is not going to abandon all its children on this planet.
Obviously this troubles you so much, it is like you are so afraid of people going to hell, maybe you are so afraid of realizing that it is okay for people to make the choices they want and still receive God's love.
What I can tell you that will help you truly understand, really dig deeper and first understand who you truly are as part of God's plan because when you finally understand who you truly are then things become much more clearer in this world. That is where you should begin. Do not worry about how others live, that is not your concern. It creates this bitterness and ignorance that you are expressing right here.
If you truly love God with all your life then you would truly love ALL OF GOD'S CHILDREN with all of your life. No one is blaming God for their sexuality. Everyone only has themselves to blame for their own personal choices. Let people have the free will to make their own choices, that is their right. It is through our own choices, that we grow and learn who we are. Sometimes people need to experience complete darkness in order to recognize the light, have you not realized that? Have you not realized that everyone has their own unique path that shapes who they are? Don't be judgmental of the choices that people make because you honestly cannot see the bigger picture. You're only limited to seeing what is in front of you. You do not know the Soul's plan, the Soul's destiny, the Soul's future and past, and so on.
Be at peace with it. Take the love that you have for God and really give it to people that need it. Learn how to give Love rather than this bitterness and ignorance.

It's not their fault they're gay. It's not God's fault either. Still, you're descriminating and you can't love God with all your life in that manner. You're in no position to judge who's going to hell or who isn't. You're not God. What if a person was gay, married another gay and then, gave up everything he had for the poor. Do you think he would still go to hell? Geez, gay is just a gender just a saying. He is still a person and someone who can live out his life the way he wants to. You don't know all gays. So how can you say they'll go to hell?
If you really do love God with all your life, you should stop judging others and start to "love God with all your life"
I'm not gay nor a lesbian. I just respect them and accept them and I try not to judge them.

Hey Dude. I'm a Christian. I think that if you're going to talk like that about other people, you're better off being silent. You do more harm to reach people with the love of God with rhetoric like that. Besides, you have no idea what it's like to be gay. I'm not. But, I've talked with many and their feelings are very real. It's not simply a matter of choice. It's much more complicated than that. I had one gay friend tell me that if he could take a pill today and wake up straight tomorrow, he would do it in an instant. Passing a sentence of judgment is not your job dear friend. Jesus came to save the world not to condemn it (John 3:17-19). How did He go about saving it- by loving it, ministering to it and laying down His life for it. And the only people you find Him condemning in the Scriptures are legalistic religious right of his day. He deals graciously with the woman living in sin in John 4 and compassionately forgives the woman caught in adultery (John 8). And the most radical picture of all is Jesus touching a leper. One of the strongest taboos of his day was to touch someone with leprosy. Jesus compassionately touches the leper in order to heal him. Your conviction and my conviction are hetero-sexual. But, that's not how everyone else sees it. And passing judgment on them will not bring them any closer to what we believe to be the truth. Think about it.

ok the bible was written by man... so show me a transcript written by the hand of god with a signature to match and maybe you'll get some people in your corner
other than that go on believing that man doesn't embellish the truth
and that the bible was written by a group perfect saints over a thousand years who told no lies
after that it will be easier to believe that they heard a voice from the sky and copied word for word what that voice said
hahahahaha
your concern for other peoples "fate" is other wise touching

Again... where in your "bibble" does it use the phrase "gay marriage"?
But as to your question "why would god make someone a certain way that is aginst his on will." How much will did you have when he made you?

hey Ned Flanders! Guess what!
"For ALL have sinned and fall short of the glory of God, but the GIFT of God is ETERNAL LIFE THROUGH JESUS CHRIST OUR LORD."
"For God loved the world so much, that He gave His one and only Son, the uniquely born One, that WHOSOEVER believes on Him WILL NOT perish, but have ETERNAL LIFE."
"For by GRACE you are saved through FAITH, and that NOT OF YOURSELVES; it is a GIFT of God, NOT of works, so that NO MAN can boast."
"For He is not willing that ANY should perish, but that ALL should come to a saving knowledge of Jesus Christ our Lord."
"I just want yall to know that yall are going to hell,because if your gay your going to hell."--oh yeah? Prove that with the Bible.
"The devil did that to you,the bibble saids it all"--Where? My Bible (not my bibble) says that man possesses a carnal, sinful nature, inherited from Adam, which TEMPTS us to sin, but only we can choose to give into temptation.
"You think im makeing this up,im not blameing the devil im going by what god's word was"--You are making this up. None of your statements can be backed up scripturally. You are preaching false doctrines-an act which the Bible says carries a harsh punishment in eternity.
"im just explaining why your like the way you are"--Because we're too stupid to understand? Thank you, O Benevolent One!
"Because beileve me I LOVE GOD WITH ALL MY LIFE!"--funny, one would think that you'd know a little more about His Word.
Your statements are contradictory, not only to other statement you made in this post, but to the Bible, which I have quoted for you. You address us as if we were children who do not understand the real world, and need it explained to us by you. Your assumption is incorrect.
Love your punctuation, by the way. It really shows your intelligence and mastery of the English language.

Go f*** yourself. :D
Besides being an ignorant idiot who can't spell due to a lack of education, you are also forgetting that we live in the 21st century not Roman Times--when your arachaic and obsolete Bible was written. The Bible was written to serve as anecdotes to be interpreted loosely. But people like you who are too dumb to interpret or think for yourself have to take it word for word.
Just do everyone a favor and sacrifice yourself :D
