So Jesus is sitting in his heavenly office when St. Peter pays him a visit.
Peter: Jeez, you look so pale. You need to get out of this office and circulate. I bet people here can’t even recognize you on sight. They probably think you look like that Picasso painting with the olive skin, aquiline nose and 3 musketeers haircut. Get out, man.
Jesus: You’re probably right.
So Jesus gets out and starts walking up and down the proverbial golden streets. Presently he hears the sound of a hammer. And wonders what anybody could be doing with a hammer in heaven. He heads toward the sound. And sees an old man pounding away on a plank of wood.
Jesus: What are you doing, old man?
Man: Well, you see, I was a carpenter on earth. I had a son. He was a special boy. Not really my son, but given into my care by god himself. He’d had a miraculous birth. I don’t know what became of him but I thought that if I kept up the hammering, then when he came here, he would hear it and come looking for me
With tears in his eyes, Jesus grasped the man’s shoulders.
Jesus Dad!
Man: Pinocchio!

The god who allows children to be raped out of respect for the free will choice of the rapist, but punishes gay men for engaging in mutually consensual sex couldn't possibly be responsible for an intelligently designed universe.
