"I hate the sin, but I love the sinner," says Governor

 Perry. You hear Christian evangelicals say this all

the time. You might even think they're quoting Jesus.

But Jesus was way too smart to say anything this

 dumb.  We externalize who we are by what we

do.  If you hate what someone does, say, Newt

Gingrich cheating on one of his wives, you

aren't just hating Newt's sin; you are hating

Newt the sinner.  'Hate the sin, love the

sinner', therefore, is just a disguise hate

wears when it pretends to be love.
