Love the sinner hate the sin

[discreetserpent]

person a: "love the sinner, hate the sin"

Love me = love everything about me, everything I do, everything I have

What Ray was talking about is this.

I've only had THAT line said to my face three times. The last was in the BAD early snow storm last year we had in early October (more than 3 ft of heavy wet snow in one afternoon) In the middle of the storm, headed to work before they closed the interstate, I stopped to help a car from from Idaho get back on the road. While I was changing a tire for a car full of church ladies one of them was standing there telling me about the big church convention they were coming from and how they were changing their ministry towards gays to be HTSLTS. She wont forget she said that or what I said back. The G rated version of what I said is that a morbidly obese female dog did not have the intelligence to say a single word to me about anything involving oral or anal sex unless she was asking permission to suck me or bend over to get fucked in the butt.

I left and went on to work with her and her prayer amazons frosting up the windows talking to jesus. I hope he came and changed the tire for them.

Having been in similar situations, you know lending a hand to a person in need who decides to tell me their particular views on homosexuals....

I end up finishing they job, then I turn around and tell them:

"Just to make this clear, Jesus sent a homosexual to help you out here.... "

The reactions when they realize that they were talking to a homosexual about their views coupled with dawning realization that that homosexual just kept on helping them out are interesting....

I don't know if it changed their opinions, but I do hope it changed their mind about spreading their particular message to just anyone.

I would just tell them not to be so silly

my brain read that as ''HATE SLUTS''. haha. i'm too old for all these acronyms. don't the young people nowadays have enough time on their hands to type out intact words? how hard can it be.

i like you now. that's exactly my type of thing.

[laidbackscot]

I was raised a Mormon and basically this was the line fed to me. That I could stay in the church but not give in to my "sinful" desires. They even offered coaching to "correct" my thinking.

By this point I was in my late teens and had more or less decided it was all hypocritical nonsense and bad storytelling anyway - the Hobbit is a much better fantasy book and much easier to read - but it was the icing on the cake.

Thankfully my parents are quite liberal and didn't really mind. Oddly they are still in the church, we've had a lot of debates about how their faith and general beliefs don't align, but hey each to their own.

I find it vaguely insulting but mostly laughable hypocrisy to use that argument. And as others have mentioned it is sometimes used as a veil for deeper, more sinister homophobia.

[Aike]

I don't think it's necessarily hypocrisy. I'm not in any sense religious so my word might not be the best source on this but, as I understand it, in Christianity everyone is a sinner deep down. In saying "hate the sin, love the sinner" the speaker can simply be expressing that he or she is the same as the person he or she is addressing. It serves to separate the person from his or her actions and allows the person to be welcomed to the religious community in spite of any sinful deeds he or she may have done. There is nothing inherently contradictory about this.
