Yes…..I do have to agree with Michael’s detractors…it’s one thing to hate the sin…..it’s wholly another to hate the sinner.

Hating the sin but LOVING the sinner is something I try to do (I’m not perfect and sometimes I say things I don’t intend to say as we all have done at some point or another)….so while God does not like the sin itself….He does love the misguided people who commit whatever sins they are committing.

Although at the same time I also cannot as a Christian in good conscience give my hard-earned money to a corporation that supports a bid to call sin “good”

although I have not yet received a clear answer to that question whether or not Starbucks as a corporation supports the gay “marriage” agenda….although they do extend benefits to same-sex couples and non-married heterosexual couples as well….which is their right as a business…they can spend their money in whatever way pleases them…just as it is my right as a consumer to boycott them for such support of intrinsically immoral lifestyles

again that being said…..I do not hate gays as people but again I cannot condone the sin either…..which i would be doing if I were to continue to spend money there

but for example if a gay person came up to me and needed money for basic necessities I would give it if I had it (which I don’t more often than not these days….LOL)…that’s one example of hating the sin but loving the sinner

Wow God made gays people. Get over it. GOD DOESNT HATE ANYONE. And if God doesnt like gay people when he made them that way than God is worth anyones time to be unjust

This is a response to Michael.

God hates sodomy.
God hates lies.
God hates judgmental people.
God hates wrath, and hatred in the hearts of those who he created for love.
God hates lusts of the flesh.

Tell me you’ve never told a lie, or had an ungodly thought, or stubbed your toe and said a curse word, and then you can tell us all who’s going to hell.

Perfect people don’t exist. Those who we see are doing wrong, instead of chastising them, we should show them the love that God originally put into us. The comment you put on this opinion blog shows to me that you have the maturity level of a prepubescent private-school child who is yet to be exposed to anything that isn’t exactly what mommy and daddy say it is supposed to be.

I say kudos to this site. Promote your religion in a peaceful way, and love thy neighbor as thyself, even if he or she is a “sodomite”

[...] Since then, I’ve written about a few things . . . from my family’s search for a new church after moving last year, to the Southern Baptists’ freak-out over a coffee cup, to my disgust with liberal “Christianity”, and varioius other things. Recently, though, I’ve been asking myself two big questions about my blog . . . [...]

I think YOU might have missed something in your defense of Starbucks. We (my wife and I) have called PERSONALLY to Starbucks corporate offices to inquire into allegations that Starbucks AS A CORPORATION supports sodomites. It took us some time because they would not directly answer us at first. We had to call 3-4 places before we finally got to someone high enough up to give us a definitive, “yes,” or “no.” The answer was unequivocally,”yes.”

It best behooves us to be accurate in our assessments. Starbucks, the company not the local franchises, supports the sodomite agenda FINANCIALLY.

If you are sincerely a Christian, you should investigate this for yourself. Believe it or not, God HATES sodomy. Granted, we are to bring sinners to Christ. Granted, we are to love one another. What I think you fail to realize is that a true Christian can love a sinner and HATE the sin. I fear that you do not have a godly, healthy hatred for sin.

This generation seems to have lost the fear of God, which is the beginning of wisdom.
