God didn't create homosexuals. He created all of us in His image, which does NOT reflect back as homosexual. What they do to and with their bodies is against all natural laws and He does not approve. He's proven that in bibilical writings. What is true is that God only gives us crosses that we can bear. So if, due to problems in the womb because of the mother's lifestyle, or the environment, or whatever else could impact the fetus, obviously their cross would be to deal with their mental illness. Not go out and sodomize their friends and then demand we all take God out of our lives and legalize queer marriage.

"He does not approve. He's proven that in biblical writings."
Yet he does nothing about it. Evidently he's like a lot of internet tough guys -- rants in text but no actual activity IRL.
Is a child born with physical or mental defects created by God in his image? What reason could he have to give a baby that "cross to bear?" Is he conducting some kind of experiment? Or is he just a sadistic jerk who enjoys seeing people suffer?
Interesting point of view. You do know, don't you, that when asked about the law, Jesus said that he gave the world a new law (John 13:34 and 15:12), and even the Paul said about the same thing(Galatians 5:14)? So comparing the Old Testament to jesus's teachings, what exactly did he say about homosexuality?
Nothing.
I thought your "biblically inerrant word of god" said
"For by him were all things created, that are in heaven, and that are in earth, visible and invisible, whether they be thrones, or dominions, or principalities, or powers: all things were created by him, and for him"
Since "god created all things", wouldn't that mean that god created homosexuals?
God created all things (I'll not get into the long, involved argument on the meaning of 'created').
God loves its creation.
All things are part of creation.
Therefore, God loves all things (not going near the minefield of defining 'love', either).
Does this make the aforementioned creator pansexual/'omni'sexual? Assuming any kind of '-sexual' could be applied to the one that created the concept of 'sex'.
And how can you say "his" when it 'created them, man and woman' in "his" image'? Is God hermaphroditic (see above for the folly of attempting to define something that created X in terms of X)?
Perhaps 'in "his" image' means sapient? Just saying.
God didn't create homosexuals.
We found teh brain structures and they were set in the womb. So yes, people are born gay.
against all natural laws
At last count, roughly 1500 species had been observed engaging in homosexuality. It's as natural and natural gets.
their mental illness
Not a mental illness and haven't been considered one in about forty years.

David & Jonathan.
A certain man who hung around with twelve men ; two of whom were sailors Told others to 'Love your fellow man '. Hardly associated with women, if ever. Never had a girlfriend, nor did he marry one. Wore a dress .
The authoriser of the KJV :
'The personal relationships of James I of England included relationships with his male courtiers'
Considering the overwhelming evidence, one can now see why the Church of England clergy peers in the House of Lords dropped their opposition to the S-SM marriage Bill at that time.
And if your country is a 'Christian' one, then what the SCOTUS did, re. their 26th June decision is the least of your problems.
Confused?
So were we! You can find all of this, and more, on Fundies Say the Darndest Things!
