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.

Love involves affirming every person. How are they going to know they're affirmed if you don't ignore, for the time being, their behavior?
BTW, who's virtuous?
