Young or woman you must read on and see why these things where ordered by God. When his people where given the land it was because it was poluted by those that where there before them.
Read Leviticus 18:19-30
19Also thou shalt not approach unto a woman to uncover her nakedness, as long as she is put apart for her uncleanness. 20Moreover thou shalt not lie carnally with thy neighbours wife, to defile thyself with her. 21And thou shalt not let any of thy seed pass through the fire to Molech, neither shalt thou profane the name of thy God: I am the LORD. 22Thou shalt not lie with mankind, as with womankind: it is abomination. 23Neither shalt thou lie with any beast to defile thyself therewith: neither shall any woman stand before a beast to lie down thereto: it is confusion. 24Defile not ye yourselves in any of these things: for in all these the nations are defiled which I cast out before you: 25And the land is defiled: therefore I do visit the iniquity thereof upon it, and the land itself vomiteth out her inhabitants. 26Ye shall therefore keep my statutes and my judgments, and shall not commit any of these abominations; neither any of your own nation, nor any stranger that sojourneth among you: 27(For all these abominations have the men of the land done, which were before you, and the land is defiled;) 28That the land spue not you out also, when ye defile it, as it spued out the nations that were before you. 29For whosoever shall commit any of these abominations, even the souls that commit them shall be cut off from among their people. 30Therefore shall ye keep mine ordinance, that ye commit not any one of these abominable customs, which were committed before you, and that ye defile not yourselves therein: I am the LORD your God.
God can take life because he can give it as well. He is above us and he knows what he is doing and he is not a author of confusion. 1Corintians 14:33 "For God is not the author of confusion, but of peace, as in all churches of the saints."
I get so tired of so-called Christians using the bible to justify their homo-phobia. I'm not gay, never have been, never plan to be. I have also never been propositioned by a gay, and have never seen anything to lead me to believe that gays are any different the rest of us when it comes to abilities, beliefs, and sensibilities.
If you are not gay, then why does it bother you that others are gay? What's your problem? Is it the Bible? Well if that's all you have to go on, the Bible has also condoned slavery, murder of children, genocide, racism and the list goes on. This convenient selective use of scripture just doesn't hold water.
Ok homo-phobes, get over it!
So all you bible-thumpers, obey the scripture below and and go out to do you "holy" works.

Murder Rape and Pillage (Deuteronomy 20:10-14)
As you approach a town to attack it, first offer its people terms for peace. If they accept your terms and open the gates to you, then all the people inside will serve you in forced labor. But if they refuse to make peace and prepare to fight, you must attack the town. When the LORD your God hands it over to you, kill every man in the town. But you may keep for yourselves all the women, children, livestock, and other plunder. You may enjoy the spoils of your enemies that the LORD your God has given you. -----------------------------------------------------------------
Kill Everyone in 7 Nations (Deuteronomy 7:1-4 NLT)
When the LORD your God brings you into the land you are about to enter and occupy, he will clear away many nations ahead of you: the Hittites, Girgashites, Amorites, Canaanites, Perizzites, Hivites, and Jebusites. These seven nations are all more powerful than you. When the LORD your God hands these nations over to you and you conquer them, you must completely destroy them. Make no treaties with them and show them no mercy. Do not intermarry with them, and don't let your daughters and sons marry their sons and daughters. They will lead your young people away from me to worship other gods. Then the anger of the LORD will burn against you, and he will destroy you.
