To love our lord God with all of our heart, mind, spirit and strength. (Not to follow a list a rules like the Jews had to)
In order to make this all encompassing love possible we must have the freedom to up hold what is important to our individual mind, heart, spirit, and strength combos demand.
So, if Christian A says "letting gays do their thing shows God's love" and Christian B says "not letting gays get married shows God's love", they're both correctly "loving God"?
Or is one of them wrong? If so, which one?

In biblical Christianity the specific rule of law is less important than our giving of ourselves completely over to God is.
Again Christianity is not a religion of rules, it is freedom from rules directed towards individual worship directed at God.
So, what you do isn't important so much as how well you can spin it? So long as you can justify why you thought it was honoring God, that's good enough?
I do have to say you've now taken the cake on useless and creepy Christian morality systems. I'm used to the whole "All you have to do to get into heaven is accept Jesus, and anything else goes, but not really because a true Christian wouldn't abuse the system like that". You've upped the ante to "Whatever, man, so long as you're a good spin doctor".
