Good grief. How do progressive Christians fail to understand that living thy neighbor does not imply that you condone what your neighbor does. This idea that loving someone means affirming them is dangerous. If I am in the wrong I hope someone would live me enough to call me out
Not to mention the Bible also DEMANDS Christians to hate. Hate that which is evil, cling to that which is good.
The opposite of Love isn't Hate its indifference, Hatred is the proper emotion for seeing purity defiled, holiness blasphemed, innocence destroyed. You have to Love something enough to hate that which sullies it.
A big problem with our culture these days is that people -- even supposed "Christians" -- don't hate evil. At best they accept it begrudgingly. At worst they celebrate it. Not good.

Very good point.
