*controversial question* If god hates gay people, why did he create them?

*(mildly) controversial answer*

He didn't. Men created God(s). 

Professor cat, you don't want to ask that on this site. Take it over to answermug. They like controversy stuff and arguing....

Not here. We are all very respectful of each other and we like it that way.

Little kitty... God doesn't hate anyone.

Why does God let children starve to death?
Why are some born with malformations or disease?
Why does God allow racism?
Why disasters?
Why war?
Why murder?

The list goes on and on with one thing in common....all caused by humans. Man spews hatred at anything he doesn't agree with OR is against his religious beliefs.

I don't agree with the premise that "God hates homosexuals"; that's something anti-gay activists love to yell, but it's not supported by any holy texts I know that claim to speak for God. 

That said, there are some religious people who must believe that being gay is a choice because they believe God doesn't make mistakes. But that's already a fairly flawed idea, since there all kinds of potential "mistakes" that people don't choose.

In your response to Ying and Yang above, you say, "I just wanted your guys' opinions on this."

So let me respond---there is no proof that the premise assumed in your "if-then" question is true.  Thus, the conclusion reached does not follow automatically.

So what is the point of manufacturing explanations for a situation that most likely does not exist.

The general rule is "Hate the sin, love the sinner."  That's probably God's approach as well.

For the same reason "god" hates shellfish and clothing made of mixed materials.

Proverbs Chapter 6

¹⁶ These six things doth the Lord hate: Yea, seven are an abomination unto him:

¹⁷ A proud look, a lying tongue, and hands that shed innocent blood. 

¹⁸ A heart that deviseth wicked imaginations, feet that be swift in running to mischief,

¹⁹ A false witness that speaketh lies, and he that soweth discord among brethren.

No where does it say God hates gays. It does say that he hates those that will spread discord among his children though. So it is not the gays he hates, it is those that are using his name to show hate towards others.

KJV  Leviticus

"You shall not lie with a male as with a woman; it is an abomination." Chapter 18 verse 22

"If a man lies with a male as with a woman, both of them have committed an abomination; they shall surely be put to death; their blood is upon them." Chapter 20 verse 13

Let's start by saying that God did not create gay people.  He does not hate anyone. The bible clearly  states in the book of genesi that god created the woman to be with the man. While I do believe that there is something wrapped up in imperfection that we will never understand, homosexuality is a choice that we make

So the concept that God is creating humans, or at the very least humanistic characters is one that makes little to no sense.

What you are, and what you become is based off of Genetics, Environment and Experiences both good and bad.

There are many diverse "mind-sets" that come about, and those three contributing factors have everything to do with them . . . No Mythical Deity required.

The bible states that laying with a man as you would a women is an abomination (taboo), an act or custom of other nations abhorrent to God, one of many.

In Genesis women is taken from mans side, hence when a man and woman come together in marriage (joining) they become one. Same as intercourse when a man and woman come together they can create new life.

*controversial question* If god hates gay people, why did he create them?============================================================

1- Did God create gay people? Surely we're told that God created Adam and Eve [not Adam and Steve] and it is these two [Adam and Eve I mean] who were told to go forth and multiply. [There would of course have been no multiplication anyway if it was Adam and Steve :)]

2- So all the diversity that is present in human beings results from these multiplications. People are either inclined to or choose many variety of lifestyles and beliefs.

3- Those who are born with conditions that are not the "norm" or average or fashionable spend their lifetime seeking to rectify them so that they'll fit into the "norm" the average or the fashionable. That's human nature.

God doesn't hate you or love you. It is the people with screwed up notions.
