I read a self Imposed paper from the Jehovah witness who I classify as a pressure religion,state that "God hates murders,and Abortion,and homosexuality.How can U classify Gays with Murders.I've met some of the nicest people who are gay.When will people git there heads out of the sand?This is why we as people are living in a society of fear,hate,frustrations,anger,poverty,shame and guilt,depression,stress,diseases Etc. The love for each other as human beings has become a joke!
Why are some religions still linking Homosexuality with,Murder,Abortion and greed?

Christians of necessity must teach that homosexuality is a severe sin because that is God's position.
1 Corinthians 6:9-10
9 Do you not know that the unrighteous will not inherit the kingdom of God? Do not be deceived. Neither fornicators, nor idolaters, nor adulterers, nor homosexuals, nor sodomites, 10 nor thieves, nor covetous, nor drunkards, nor revilers, nor extortioners will inherit the kingdom of God.

You need to stop taking such offense over the instant reaction and actually look at the arguments being made in the comparisons.
People do this all the time and it is annoying because they are just being intellectually lazy by doing it.
You arent classifying people as the same or the action as identical in terms of the kind of harm it does others or society.
What they are saying is that they are all sins and all sin tears you away from God. Some sins tear you away much farther and are harder to recover from.
I have a hard time believing a JW made the statement God hates anyone and that is obviously a harsh and incinderary statement, but generally the statement is that sin is sin and it is all harmful. Yes, it is all harmful to the individual, but clearly some sins are more harmful to others.
It is like when you try to argue how the genetics argument is absolutely ridiculous in the gay rights debate and make the comment that just because a pedophile is born that way doesnt mean what they are doing is acceptable.
Instead of actually thinking the logic of the argument through, how many people will freak out and state, oh my gosh did you just compare homosexuals to pedophiles.
No, I compared the logic of stating that just because a person is born attracted to the same sex it should be automatically accepted as ridiculous because if you apply that same logic to a pedophile, it doesnt hold.

This is the best, legitimate explanation one can give I believe. Murder and abortion are essentially the same thing: they are the termination of human life. It is not wrong to be a homosexual, it is wrong to engage in a homosexual relationship instead of a heterosexual one. The reason for this is that same-sex partners cannot conceive. Thus, while not being as bad as murder and abortion, homosexual relationships result in the prevention of the conception of life. In summary, it isn't the termination of life, it is the prevention of the potential for any such life to exist altogether that is a transgression.
It is because we love you that we warn you that the sexual perversion of homosexuality is considered a sin punishable by death... just like murder is a sin punishable by death. It is not fear, hate, etc. that motivates these people who tell you this, though that is how you might perceive it. If you feel guilt, depression, stress, etc because of this it comes from yourself. Your conscience or sub-conscience is trying to tell you something. Perhaps you should listen to it.
I don't know where you heard that but God doesn't hate anybody. He hates the sin they commit. In his eyes, a sin is a sin whether it's stealing a candy bar from the store or murdering somebody. I don't know what religion you are but many non Christians don't understand that concept because stealing a candy bar isn't as severe as murdering. This is true but it is still a sin and any time you sin you repent and ask God for forgiveness and don't do it anymore.

Because a lot of people are stupid.
That statement is universal in this category.
