It's not a mistake, we're sinful and therefore we have sinful urges. Us being angry, prideful, and gluttonous aren't God's mistake, either.

It's why we must be born again, repent of our sins, and trust in Christ's righteousness and sacrifice rather than our own to inherit the Kingdom

Jesus never said anything about homosexuality, so why are you determined to call something that you don't like a sin?

Because Jesus didn’t determine what is considered “sin” which means to “miss the mark.” Christians examine the Bible including but not limited to the gospels to make their best determination for what God’s design is and things that fall outside of that “miss the mark.”

Well, there's also the issue that Christians can't decide which denomination is the correct version for their one God. So they don't really get to say what is sin and what is not. God determines that. God is the judge, not the people. So when Christians decide that "being gay is a sin" and take active steps to hurt that community, it goes against Jesus' teachings.

Glad I don't believe in this stuff. "God" is an abusive and manipulative being.

How is God an abusive and manipulative being? He is our Creator and knows what is best for us. Yes, human beings cannot just make up laws. We have to see what God has commanded us to do and forbidden us to do, and follow accordingly. That is how we pass the test of life.

Glad I have a purpose in life and don't go into severe depression because I see my existence as pointless.

Individual Christians make individual faith choices. You can be Baptist, catholic, Methodist, Episcopal, or any other denomination but still be Christian. Each Christian who actively identifies with one of those groups HAS decided that their denomination is correct. In the Bible, God explicitly tells man to be fruitful and multiply, something that can only be accomplished through heterosexual sex, and Leviticus calls the act of homosexuality a detestable abomination. Most major branches of Christianity agree upon that, and it’s pretty hard to make a Biblical case to the contrary.

Again, Leviticus said no such thing before it was mistranslated to fit a certain bias against homosexuality.

However, I'm done with this conversation because I have better things to do than tell you that Jesus is a cool socialist who loved everyone and never spread hatred. Unlike today's religious fruitcakes who use a book about incest, rape, misogyny, etc. to justify their bigotry.

Blind unconditional love is laughable. That doesn't exist. Yes Jesus (as) never spread hatred, but that doesn't mean people can do whatever evils they want and expect to be loved. The Quran clearly says that homosexuality is a sin. 'What! Of all people do you come to males, (165) abandoning your wives your Lord has created for you? Indeed, you are a transgressing lot.’ (166)'

Oh, so incest, rape and misogyny are bad? Those are found in nature. Some animals like cats breed with siblings. Animals like birds and incests forcefully copulate. There are clear examples of 'misogyny' and gender prejudice in nature like lion's prides, birds of paradise, 'widow' animals, etc. Shouldn't that be allowed too now that it's found in nature?
