Is religion still relevant in modern society?

2 - God made homosexuals, we must accept them for who they are

Absolutely. I will add a nuance, that God actually made everyone bisexual. Noone is born heterosexual or homosexual. As theprof00 said, we are all bisexual and lean one way or another depending on the hormonal makeup of our fetal development. Having said that, we need to accept everyone the way they were born, as we have no control over the design of our maker. If something is considered however a birth defect (like for the biblical example of being born blind), as a religious person, understanding that a birth defect can be considered both physiological and spiritual, it would be beneficial to pray for said person if it is something that's important to you. Hence, if a person is overly homosexual, above and beyond even their natural disposition from birth, that could be a subject of prayer, as the cause could be super-natural. Mind you in no case is this to be subject of judgementalism, ostracising, exclusion, belittling, or anything that can make a person feel bad about themselves. Reaction to it could be likened to reaction to "demon posession", where it's not something the person is in control of, it's just a matter of spiritual fact, and no one is to blame. Guilt would only make things worse, and demons can sense it.

Disgusting. Absolutely disgusting. First of all, the ideea that we are all bisexual is a myth. Second of all, if genetic makeup influences our sexuality, then we are not all bisexual. Third of all, comparing homosexuality to a birth defect? Really?! Fourth of all, exorcism? Realy?!
