Isn't it funny how if a religious person says 'hate the sin, not the sinner' in reference to homosexuality, some non-religious people view those comments as bad and homophobic; yet if a non-religious person says 'I like religious people, I just don't like their way of life', it's okay.

The recipient of such backhanded compliments on either side makes no distinction between themselves and their 'lifestyle'. Why do people on Internet forums seem to?

Me? What you do in private is no concern of mine as long as you're not hurting me or anyone else - I do believe that God sees all things, and that everyone should bear that in mind, especially if they're religious.

That's not the issue, though. I'm just clarifying my position in case anyone decides to make an issue out of it. The issue is the hypocrisy of the attitude described in the first sentence of this thread.

Am I right? Wrong? In the middle? Overreacting? In need of a strawberry milkshake?

Have u heard of the saying by a scholar Dr. Tahir Ul Qadri?

"Gunnah se nafrat karo, gunehgaar se nahin"
Hate the sin, not the sinner.

I agree with that reasoning.

Especially when it comes to flatulence.

It's just strange how that logic seems to be selectively applied.

You're right. It's just strange (yet somehow amusing) how it's only ever considered okay for one side of an argument to call 'shenanigans'.

Step 1 - open the dictionary to 'F'

Step 2 - locate 'flatulence'

Step 3 - giggle and/or shake head.

Some potential reasons:
1) It's the internet - very few people know how to debate properly
2) People who use that tactic are deluded and don't really know what they are saying.
3) If they do know what they are saying, they're flippin crazy!

I suppose you need to make the distinction between homosexuality, and sodomy (deja vu), since it would be considered wrong to hate someone for what they are rather than what they do or think.

That is a valid observation, it is a good example of what is meant by hate the sin, not the sinner.

So when you say homosexuality you really mean sodomy?

It is often an error to try to second guess the meaning of another person's words. It is far better to accept a statement as it is written, rather than to try to justify an inner meaning for the purpose of debate.

Sodomy is not always a homosexual act. It is sometimes practiced among people of different genders. However, sodomy is a sin in most religions, even when practiced by heterosexual couples.

Sodomy does not equal homosexual. Homosexual does not equal sodomy.

But, sodomy does equal sin.

It often is the result of too much idle time among juveniles or the result of immaturity. An immature mind has a tendency to believe that if that can say their "lifestyle" and see it in writing, it must be permissible.

Strawberry milkshakes is an ideal choice.
