‘Loving the sinner’ has gotten to the bizarre point that almost no one concedes that sins as defined by 2,000 years of Christianity are still actually sins that will bring punishment.

I know, right?

But it’s not an entirely new problem; it just takes different forms depending on the era, usually along the lines of ‘sin X isn’t so bad’ or ‘We’ll just commit this sin so that it’ll stop a bigger one.’

Like in the middle ages how there were church-sanctioned brothels for priests because they were under the impression that it was better than getting married or keeping a secret lover/wife.

Doesn’t seem like those people were so arrogant as to claim that sins weren’t really sins. They knew they were making concessions out of weakness. People now believe they are being pious by condemning their culture and offspring to the lowest kinds of degradation.
