Kill people who don't conform. Not that Yahweh didn't also say that in the bible. This Abrahamic god seems to have some need, otherwise he wouldn't react so violently against those that displease him. Not everything that displeases this god is evil. Homosexuality isn't evil. It's just two consenting adults doing what they want because they want to. Killing someone for tidying up their yard on the wrong day is wrong. killing children for the crimes of their parents is wrong. Torturing your followers to see how loyal they remain is wrong.
It's not a need TBH, it is for the sake of mankind itself. In concept ; defying god corrupts the universe ; resulting so many miseries to creations. That's why Allah gets angry when people defy his laws.
How I see it is that, Yahweh created hell so those who caused pain in this life suffer the pain they caused to others. Causing pain and corruption to others is what makes the lord angry ; it's not a need he wants to satisfy.
Sometimes people don't see how they hurt others by things they think "normal", while in reality, they caused unimaginable pain to others.
Just like that guy whom god blessed with a beautiful loving mate, yet he still insist on cheating on her or go watch porn behind her back. Vise versa to the naughty lady. Sometimes it gives people depression that leads to suicide. God in this case gets angry because he knows the pain that person A caused to his mate, for not following the rules of god by staying away from lust & sexual thinking.
Homosexuality was given here as an example of a taboo that was broken; just like stating religion as a new taboo in many countries with large atheist population.
