It's almost like "hate the sin" means "judge people" which is something god did politely ask us not to do.
God: Judge not lest ye be Judged.
Evangelicals: So anyways, I started Judgeing.
The only thing I will say is that this can be a bridge behavior. If we at least get them to think with love and caring. If they believe I am going to hell, I at least want them to feel like they wouldn’t do the same if they were in charge
In the internet and isolated from people who have different beliefs, it’s easy to forget that compromise is the only way forward without violence. In this case, not compromising freedom nor equality, but what you’re willing to tolerate in someone else’s beliefs
In my experience the bigots tend to view it as a bridge the other way. It let's them feel like they care whilst still pushing a destructive agenda. There is no compromise on the table, they just want you to submit.
