"Love the sinner hate the sin" is the biggest load of tripe I've ever heard. I'm entirely convinced that Christians convince themselves of this for the sole reason that the deeper truth is too hard for them to hear; Christianity is evil.
Think about it. You are persecuting an entire minority relentlessly -quite often to the point of death -claiming that they have a choice in a biologically-determined factor to explain it to yourselves that they can just fix their problem if they wish hard enough, and then, to try and get around the fact that you just called me an abomination you claim that well, it isn't you. It's your actions. Change your ways and you can be a good person, really! Try taking some of your own medicine. Because that's just awful.
I actually prefer it when people outright say that the Christian God hates the gays because at least they are being honest with themselves about it.
Think about it like this: would you say this of Hitler? You love Hitler, despite the fact that he was a horrible, horrible person? Your own doctrine says that no one sin is worse than any of the others, so by your own logic, you should feel the same "love the sinner hate the sin" to Hitler.
Oh. I see. That's the way it should be, but as a human, you can't. You are flawed and capable of hate, so hate Hitler despite your policy to love everyone. But God loves Hitler, because God is perfect and without fault.
So, by your own admission, and by your own logic, you really do hate gay people because they're awful nasty sinners. If you genuinely feel that it's a sin, it is by your own decree the only possible feeling you can have on the subject. No one sin is worse than any of the others. I've actually heard people use this to say that gayness is therefore only as bad as lying. But that also means that it's as bad as murdering millions of people, so don't give me that claptrap.
And if you are a Christian gay struggling to try and match the two, you're deluding yourself. One, there's hardly anything on the Bible about your gay to begin with, and the stuff that they do claim is anti-gay was either introduced in the last 60 years or is one interpretation, so really, you could just as easily make the totally reasonable claim that your God doesn't view human love as sinful in any manner.
Don't believe me? Maybe you should do your research, because it can be argued that Jesus himself did in fact say something about homosexuality. He was for it. The story of the centurion? The Greek word the centurion uses, that we translate as servant, actually more or less meant gay lover (the word is pais, and if you want to learn more about how this story is totally gay, you can read a very thorough explanation at www.wouldjesusdiscriminate.org). You really want to tell me that Christianity isn't evil? Because that sounds like a deliberate mistranslation, seeing as how Jesus said that centurion had more faith than the children of Abraham. What, can't accept that a gay pagan can have more faith than you?
In my personal opinion, anyone who says love the sinner hate the sin is not a true believer. Because you, my friend, don't have an astute understanding of your own scripture. In five minutes, I can find three different basic logic arguments for why you are wrong, with scriptural evidence backing up every single one of those points. Now, I generally don't like to, because it's not my religion and I know what the Bible had to say about Satan knowing the Bible too, but really, Satan is a concept, so that's a cyclical argument, seeing as how I could say the same thing about you with more evidence seeing as how you're the hypocrite who believes that God hates the act of homosexuality without hating the perpetrator.
I can get along with a lot of Christians. They're good, well-meaning people. But the faith they try to follow is inherently evil. And if you have a problem with that claim, I want you to think real careful about it, because you, not me, is the one claiming you can "love the sinner, hate the sin" (I'll spell it out for you. In this metaphor, your sin is believing in Jesus. I think Christianity is evil, but I have no problem with you as a person. Just your faith.)
Sounds absurd, right? Well no shit. Open your eyes. You cannot love the sinner and hate the sin if their sin is who they are.
Disclaimer: I don't actually think Christianity is evil. I'm using hyperbole to make a point.
