Best Answer

Many schools of thoughts in the Eastern religion believe in the theory of multiple lives. Every humans in this world are born for a purpose and within his/her life time on earth, he/she must fulfil that purpose, failing which he/she will be born again to learn the lessons and to perfect the purpose.

Homosexuality is the result of the purpose not fulfilled.

Leviticus 18:22;20;13,Romans 1:26-27 and Corinthians 6:9-11 support the general anti-gay stigma.

Answer:

Christians(in theory, not all necessarily do) believe that God does not create a homosexual, he creates a heterosexual who chooses to "disobey" him and live as a homosexual. Homosexuality is seen as a sin. However, humans are not to judge the 'sinner' for this is the job of the Lord. This is the theoretical belief of Christians in regards to homosexuality.

Other main-stream religions are considered to have the same view.

How many religions consider homosexuality a sin?

A:Most Christian denominations used to regard homosexuality as a sin, although there is change towards tolerance and acceptance. Most of Judaism also regards homosexuality as a sin. Islam is, by and large, stridently homophobic, although homosexuality is practised openly in some of the most fundamentalist areas such as Afghanistan but in a way that allows it not to be regarded as homosexuality. The ancient Greco-Roman state religion considered morality as a secular matter, not something for religion to concern itself with, so Greece was very tolerant of homosexuality, while it was frowned upon in Rome. Egyptian religion was known to encourage sexuality, so it seems to have been tolerant of homosexuality. The mystery religions that emerged in the eastern Mediterranean region at around the same time as Christianity demanded confession of sins, but not much seems to be known about what they regarded as sin. Eastern religions also tend to consider morality as a secular matter, rather than a religious one.
