"Hate the sin, love the sinner" - does that make sense?
When the Austrian bearded lady, Conchita Wurst, won the Eurovision song contest, I noticed a post on Facebook, tagged "#hatethesinlovethesinner". I'm not sure about the point, but the oft used (at least in some circles) slogan "Hate the sin, love the sinner" made me think of a few bible verses: "Therefore you have no excuse, O man, every one of you who judges." (Rom 2:1) "Do not judge, and you will not be judged. Do not condemn, and you will not be condemned." (Luk 6:37) Now, does distinguishing between the sinner and the sin make sense at all? Does not judging someone as a sinner mean already not to love that person?
