Should be working...

"Hate the sin; love the sinner"
what the heck does that mean, anyway? I understand the good intentions behind it, but i think people use it more often than not to disguise their judgment of someone doing something that requires a little finger-wagging and 'tsk tsk'-ing. "it's not you, it's your sin." i think it's a cop out. is it possible to embrace someone, sin and all, and not let that affect our thoughts or judgment of them? maybe 'embracing sin' is dangerous ground to approach... almost like i'm saying it's part of our identity. it is, though. is that too pessimistic?

i have more to say but i should be working... back later
