The trouble with Christianity and other religions also, is that love of the Deity comes first. So, if said Deity tells you to shun homosexuals "out of love" for them, you follow that "command" as a dutiful Christian. Love of fellow man, comes in the form of a lot of twisted rhetoric. If you believe the Bible story, Jesus explicitly said, "Love God with all if your heart and your neighbor as yourself."
The irony is without doing the second, a Christian fails at the first. But, at the end of the day, love and worship of the Deity comes first. Since 77% of Americans classify themselves in some way as Christians, I wonder why we still see so much poverty?
Christians (most not all) talk a good game but their actions are that of self absorbed people who if they do good, it is because they want to please their Deity of choice. Mainly, because they're more concerned with an after life than this one.
