Hate the sin, Love the sinner

You know how people always say that getting rich changes a person? And they usually mean negative things? Well, after spending this last weekend with my dad, and thinking about my mom, I have realized that, so does Christianity. And not always in a positive way.
 Christians are supposed to be loving, and forgiving. As a Christian, I feel I have developed these attributes. But i cannot tell you how many times I see christian bashing on other people. Gays, Blacks, Obama.... The list in continuous. And what is ridiculous is how all these people call themselves christian, when they are not showing it in the deepest way God intended. There is no love. Christians bash on gay people ALL THE TIME, and its about time it came to a stop. Hate the sin, love the sinner. Thats what we should be doing. Instead, we hate the sinner. We take what a person has done, and make it who they are. 
Like the lines in a movie once said, "Its not what you do that defines you, but how you do it." And what you do with what you know. If you know that you are supposed to Love, then do it. Don't just love those who do good to you. Don't just love those you know are chrisrians, or those who are doing good to help our country. LOVE THEM ALL. Love the gays, the murderers, the rapists, the prostitutes. Love them, for we are COMMANDED by God to do so. 

Love them all, and do it well.
