Hate the sin love the sinner may be a weak argument, but there's not really anything *condescending* about it unless you have the emotional fortitude of a tulip.

And it's easier to put up with than "You're going to hell!" attitudes.

It assumes the sin and the sinner can be separated, which in practice tends to imply the sinner is just confused and doesn't really want to sin. Furthermore, sin doesn't make them happy, and they'll become much happier if they start acting like the person who's deciding what a sin is!

[(Anonymous)]

since when does the impact of a statement on a person weigh into whether that statement is condescending or not?

[(Anonymous)]

nayrt - It doesn't. Ayrt just wanted to... I don't know, sneer at all the people who have the nerve to think that anyone who believes homosexuality is a sin that requires their forgiveness is kind of a jerk.

[(Anonymous)]

Well, no. Condescension isn't measured by how weak or strong the person being condescended to is, and "love the sinner hate the sin" is absolutely condescending because it's an insulting little headpat given by jerkwads to people who have the temerity to be homosexual. The condescension part is the implied, "You're still wrong to be gay, but I'm so magnanimous I'm willing to overlook your gayness, which BTW is going to send you to hell".
