(Love is chemical reactions not under your control, so homosexual people's bodies release those chemicals for the same sex unlike heterosexual, correct me if I'm wrong).
And religion says that homosexuality is a sin/is haram.
So what's the big issue for religion here? Well, if homosexuality isn't a choice at the same time it's a sin and you'll go to hell for being homosexual, then homosexual people literally have no choice but to go to hell. Right?
It's very much as if God said that being born blind, having cancer, or being shorter than 175 centimeters is a sin/is haram and you'll go to hell for it. You might say "but being homosexual isn't the same thing as being blind, getting cancer or being shorter than 175 cms" It is in the same sense that none of them are a choice, really. (Also before you bash at me for comparing homosexuality to being blind, cancer etc. I'm just using them as examples for not being a choice, I am in no way a homophobe, and I respect homosexual people).
So how logical, moral, just is it that God gives no choice to some people but to go to hell?
Well some say, that we are just mindless robots, who don't really have a choice or are responsible for anything.
Apart from that however; I think that the issue, is where we do have a choice. And if this distinction isn't made then the same argument can be made for the rapist and pedophile.
