Then it shouldn't be difficult to refute, should it?

My response to that is three simple words: Westboro Baptist Church.

But it's a religious book that says homosexuality is a sin...
So which is it? Does God not need religion, in which case what is said in the holy books is nonsense? Or has God adopted what humans wrote in those books? Both contradict what you are trying to say.
If God doesn't need religion, then that effectively proves religion wrong, which nullifies that whole "homosexuality is a sin" part, unless you can point me to another document (written by God himself) that states homosexuality is a sin.

He'll allow them to worship him, but he'll still destroy them in disasters and disease before sending them to Hell?
Come on, man. You're going in circles.

I want to know where God said homosexuality is a sin. The only place I see it are in religious texts, and you said God doesn't need religion. You're saying that religion is man-made, and religion is the only place that homosexuality is mentioned as being a sin. So tell me where God said it himself.

Where?
Romans 1:25-32
New International Version (NIV)
25 They exchanged the truth about God for a lie, and worshiped and served created things rather than the Creator—who is forever praised. Amen.
26 Because of this, God gave them over to shameful lusts. Even their women exchanged natural sexual relations for unnatural ones. 27 In the same way the men also abandoned natural relations with women and were inflamed with lust for one another. Men committed shameful acts with other men, and received in themselves the due penalty for their error.
Many straight people are lustful as well.

You're still going in circles, man. First you're saying God doesn't need religion, then you're quoting the Bible. The Bible was written by people of the Jewish and Christian faiths.
You're also saying that God judges homosexuals, when the Bible specifically says not to judge anyone. He's violating his own rules?
Surely you can see how circular this logic is.
