After sleeping on it, Scott, I've come up with this. Tell me how off I am.

We both agree that the statement "God loves homosexuals" is true. (I'm defining the term as simply "those who are sexually attracted to members of the same sex". And let's throw an "exclusively" in there, so as not to muddy the waters with, as we called them in college, "coin-flippers".) You just don't recommend telling homosexuals that God does indeed love them, for fear that they might think that that means that their attraction must be "good" and God would approve of their acting on it.

What about the statement "God loves you just the way you are"? Again, I think it's a true statement, but it can be very easily misinterpreted.

Also, I thought about this... you talked about elevating one attribute of God over another being a "dangerous" thing. (I don't remember if you used that word, those are just "scare quotes".) Do you think it's at all significant that the Bible says that "God is love", and never "God is justice"? Sure, it talks about how God is just, but that's different. It's an adjective. I'm talkin' nouns here.
