What's that phrase you like to use so much? "Hate the sin but not the sinner"? No, we don't hate you but we do wish you could see our point of view instead of chastising us for not agreeing with your's.
Word. I'm not a terribly religious person. I will generally classify myself as a theist, but I don't tend to affiliate myself with a particular religion because I find things in Buddhism, Christianity, and Neo-Paganism that I like. That said, one of the coolest things I've ever done was read further into Romans than people who use it to pass judgement on homosexuals ever seem to. Romans 2:1 NIV says, "You, therefore, have no excuse, you who pass judgment on someone else, for at whatever point you judge another, you are condemning yourself, because you who pass judgment do the same things." I think that's even clearer than Matthew 7:1 NIV saying, "Do not judge, or you too will be judged." The Romans verse says flat out that at the point you judge another person that is the point at which you condemn yourself. Full stop.
