"Why would a loving Christian "rebuke" anyone or anything?
"
A loving Christian would not do that. Most Christians leave the "rebuking" to their deity. A small percentage of Christians, however, misunderstand their role, in my opinion, and take great pleasure in "rebuking" all and sundry, including other Christians.
It is a sad thing.
As much as I appreciate your keen intellect and "devil's advocate" function on these types of threads, in this area you are in direct contradiction to the writings of St. Paul.
As for the "pleasure" they derive from such rebukes, I submit such pleasure is the direct analog to the "self-righteousness" the truly "wicked" are continually harping about. One wonders if such people have any notion the term "righteous" is even possible to separate from the "self" qualifier.
