Which is better? Loving someone or condemning them?

Somehow I knew you wouldn't answer this question. Instead, you ask me another question so you won't have to face this one.

Do you live your life loving people and affirming them, or finding fault with what they do, and condemning them?

It's a simple question.

Do you live your life loving people and affirming them, or finding fault with what they do, and condemning them?

No human being has the power to condemn (unless it is a voting member of a jury in a capital trial). All people have the power to judge. The issue here is the lack of its exercise by deviant freaks...

[Antoninus]

Do you live your life loving people and affirming them, or finding fault with what they do, and condemning them?

This really isn't a hard issue. When someone behaves well, their behavior should be affirmed and lauded. When someone behaves badly, they should be chastised and corrected. Both should be done with love, above all. Apparently, you think (in the best tradition of the "me" generation) that love involves affirming every behavior and making no distinction between the virtuous and the wicked. I couldn't disagree more.

Wait, if finding fault with people and condemning them ios bad, why did you condemn Kobe Bryant's rape victim for having sex? You refuse to condemn a lesbian (who presumably ios having extramarital sex), but you condemn a woman who is raped for having sex?
