Satellite Wrote:"Hate the sin and not the sinner". And you can actually claim that there's people who hate homosexuality, but do not hate homosexuals? Teaching that homosexuality is a sin, is also teaching that homosexuals are sinners.
Incorrect, by their teachings homosexuality is a choice, just like theft, murder, rape and any other sin.
Therefore you hate the sin, love the sinner, and try to reform them.
The other alternative there from their view point would be to say that homosexuals were made that way and are therefore irredeemable and incapable of salvation.
That'd be bad for two reasons, #1 it'd imply god made mistakes and #2 it'd imply we didn't have any reason to be allowed to live.
The other logical alternative of course is that they're placing their faith in an out-dated overly edited collection of stigma and mythology and selectively choosing which pieces of it are magically still true and accurate ways to live your life while disregarding the ones they find inconvenient. They aren't too fond of that alternative for some reason.
It's not having what you want - It's wanting what you've got.
