Ever thought that maybe existence of matter didn't suddenly come out of nowhere, and that it was there all along? You assume that there is nothing first, which is the first fundamental flaw of religious logic. It assumed there was nothing, so therefore something had to create something. But if matter is a constant, then the need for something to create matter is non-existent.
So to say that god created everything, you would first have to prove that there was indeed actually nothing at some point. And you would have to prove that it would be impossible otherwise for matter to have arisen from such an environment without the influence of a god. AND you would have to disprove the paradox of, if nothing existed, then a god should not exist either. AND you would then have to explain why a god would suddenly be created out of nothing before matter would (quite frankly, the nothing-to-matter jump is a lot more plausible than the nothing-to-supernatural-being-to-matter jump). Needless to say, your work is cut out for you.
You can't start an argument for religion and then use religion to prove your religion is right. That's circular logic at its worst. You have to be able to prove that your religion can be validated outside of it's own existence. Simply put, you can't say religion is right because religion says it's right.
And @JayStar abnormality does not mean it is wrong. Albinos are abnormal because they don't produce any melanin. However, nobody in their right mind goes around saying albinos are sins against god or illogical. Likewise, homosexuality is just a different reaction in the brain to different stimuli. In this case, it causes a pleasurable or arousing reaction to stimuli from people of the same gender. In fact, this type of reaction is visible even in heterosexuals, albeit on a smaller scale. It results in camaraderie, and it's an important reaction for humans to have, otherwise we would have been wiped out because of our impotence outside of a group.
