I agree with him. Christianity does not tolerate sin under any
circumstance. However, God commands us to tolerate the
/sinner/; to love one another. That's why it's wrong for a
church to kick out homosexuals. They're just as guilty as the
businessman sleeping with his secretary and the pastor who
gorges himself at the potluck dinner and the housewife
gossiping to her girlfriends.
