Good point.Hardly.Fundamentalist Christians abuse Jesus more than they abuse homosexuals.
Christians who hold homosexuality at arms' length are oftentimes of the mindset: Hate the sin, love the sinner.
Christians who hold homosexuality at arms' length are oftentimes of the mindset: Refusing to aid and abet the sin or the sinner is demonstrating the resolve of Goodness in the face of Perversity, Aberration, Filth, Sin, Uncleanness and Wrongdoing.
Christians who hold homosexuality at arms' length are oftentimes of the mindset: We are doing the Lord's work, leading by example, in resistance to Evil; just as Jesus would have done.
Or, as Pope Francis recently said about homosexuals..."Who am I to judge?"
Trouble is, (a) Francis does not lead the entire Christian community, (b) much of the large chunk of the community that he does lead does not agree with his latter-day modernistic interpretation, and (c) his perspective is not well-rooted in Church doctrine or teachings.
Beats me. I wasn't talking about Jesus shunning. I was talking about Jesus being one who was likely to resist evil."...btw, what 'sinners' did Jesus shun?"
