Why? Lusting is physical sexual attraction, and occurs in heterosexuals as well.
There's a difference between lust and attraction: lust completely separates the soul from the body. Attraction is merely noticing a person's physical beauty and finding it pleasing. A read this quote somewhere, telling the difference between lust and love: lust craves the body, love craves the soul. Just thought I'd mention that.
As for 'natural order', we daily go against the natural order by using technology to interfere with when and how people live or die, whether or not they have children, and so on.
We are not going against the natural order because we are manipulating material already given to us by the earth and putting it to good use. Homosexuality isn't like this since it's an attraction to the same sex, something that is contrary to nature.
Homosexuals can still procreate, if not with their same gender partners,
Then, for no other reason, homosexuality is an evolutionary dead-end if they cannot reproduce. How could they possibly pass on their genes if they can't procreate with their partners?
and heterosexuals sometimes are unable to procreate at all,
That is a physical problem and something completely beyond their control, much like other bodily problems: a misfunction of something natural.
so procreation cannot be God's reason for considering same sex love to be an abomination (not to mention we're on our way to preocreating ourselves off the planet). Given that God actually does consider two women marrying to be an abomination, the question remains: why?
It is wrong because God ordained that marriage is between one man and one woman. That's the reason, and homosexuality is a violation and a perversion of that. In short, fundamentally, it's wrong because God says so.
Even if God considers homosexuality a 'defect', then why is that defect an abomination, while other defects,such as Down's syndrome or spina bifida, or even hermaphroditism, for that matter, are not abominations?
Because those things are not under the victim's control. They can't simply change from being a Down's syndrome patient to a person without that disorder. Homosexuals, however, can, as is shown by untold numbers of former homosexuals. If it were something they couldn't change, then there would be no former-homosexuals today.
Have you ever looked at the list of abominations that the bible lays out?
Yes. And those applied to the Israelites only because they were to be a people set apart for God.
Eating shellfish is an abomination
Only because they carried numerous diseases, many of which the Israelites did not know about. Most of the laws in the Pentateuch were done for hygiene.
Yes, and I'm fairly certain that this was the sin that Lucifer was convicted of and thrown out of heaven for, not before he led 1/3 of the angels to hell with him.
Shaving is an abomination
God gave that law only the Israelites. It is no longer required, nor was it ever an abomination. It was merely something God said "Don't do, you are my people, and I want you to live this way."
Yes.
Oh and discrimination against other people is an abomination
You seem to think that I hate homosexuals. On the contrary, I love homosexuals very much and wish them the best of luck. That being said, I do not approve of homosexuality and find it abhorrent. Nevertheless, I won't go to a homosexual's door and say "Change or die". If you think that just because I find another's behavior distasteful, I'm a bigot, you are mistaken.
But if we are naturally sinful than god made us that way. So how is it wrong than?
The sin nature came from Adam and Eve's disobedience and is thus passed down through their offspring. Having a sin nature is not, in and of itself sin because we personally did not have a choice regarding it's passage to us. That being said, it is wrong to act on it, and furthermore, having this sinful nature prevents us from entering heaven. Jesus Christ, however, had no sinful nature and did not sin (He could have, should He have chosen to, otherwise the whole experience was meaningless). Understand, it is not a good thing to have a sinful nature, much in the same way that it is not good to have a disease, it's destructive and deadly. It is not necessarily our (us here) fault for having a sin nature (specifically, it's Adam and Eve's), but what is our fault is acting upon that nature.
