providing human species with the capacity for bonding with same sex partners

I don't really believe and I certainly don't know that God exists and has a particular set of rules that cause us to run against the inclinations she gave us.

She would know that any such capacity would be expressed in many people. Not by the fault of people, but by the diversity she created.
Why would a rational, loving, and fair God create churches that punish us for expressing the full range of her creation?

IMO this is evidence that God based western churches were created not by God but by people. People decided that that God should mostly bey JUST LIKE US, and capable of all our foibles, tricks, and petty jealousies and hatreds. Such a God seems quite UNreal, being probably created by HUMANS who wanted a God just like them, who priotitized all their interests in foible, tricks, petty jealousy and hatred.
