If we're using common sense I see no reason why homosexuality is wrong. Why is two people's ability to create a child necessarily a sign that their relationship has God's favor? Does every child beater have God's blessing in their act? Does God hate infertility? They can't create children, so their condition must be sinful. Common sense denotes that homosexuality is beneficial. It creates love, which God smiles upon. With that logic, if homosexuality was sinful, then God would have made it physically impossible for two men or two women to have sex, but using ther inginuity, a God given gift, it's quite possible. The Bible isn't always a bastion of common sense.
I also agree with Jamin's assertion that a forgiving God would not allow the existence of a torturous realm from which no one can ever hope to escape. No one deserves that fate in my opinion. Why? Simple - because anyone who is condemened to Hell, no matter how evil they are, could never have inflicted even a fraction of that kind of torture upon their victims in their lifetime. That isn't even an eye for an eye, it's a tooth for a jaw.
