"Love the sinner, hate the sin" discourse on ML if anyone is interested.
Curious if anyone who is gay is also a member of a church with this philosophy and how they reconcile that.
Also if a Christian says that they have gay friends and in the same breath preach that homosexuality is a sin - do they really have gay friends? Do their gay friends talk about them behind their backs?

Yeah that's right my name's Yauch!

heh. There are SO many reasons I take no interest at all in organized religion. Or unorganized religion for that matter.
I was trying to hold back on commenting. buuuuuuut:
julie and i are catholic. and go to church. and are married. our children will be baptized catholic. ALL religion is open for intepratation, however, I guess our church is more 'liberal' than some of the other catholic churches. Also, I Julie and I both know that all religion has its faults, and that you DO NOT have to believe something 300%, and that you even if you are xxx religion you can still form your own opinions.
I am a Christian and I do have a good friend who is gay. I don't think being gay is a sin.
I believe you can love the sinner but hate the sin. It's just differentiating between loving the person and not loving their actions.
I'm Jewish, and was married by a rabbi in a synagogue. It always gets to me when people treat gay marriage like it was a contest between the "religious" people who are against it, and the nonreligious ones who are for it. As far as I'm concerned, those jurisdictions that don't recognize my marriage are interfering with my freedom of religion, and should quit it now!
I don't have any real issue with the concept of loving the sinner and hating the sin--if someone is actually sinning. However, I have issues with someone who treats being in a loving relationship with someone of the same sex as being a sin. And I have big issues with people who think that the law should reflect their personal religious views on who should be allowed to get married.
