The cliché, God hates the sin but love the sinner, is false on the face of it and should be abandoned.

In the Bible, the wrath of God rests both on the sin (Romans 1:18ff) and on the sinner (John 3:36).

D. H. Lawrence

Lies About Love We are all liars, because The truth of yesterday becomes a lie tomorrow, Whereas letters are fixed, and we live by the letter of truth.

Yet we reiterate love! love! love! as if it were a coin with fixed value instead of a flower that dies, and opens a different bud.

Sociopath is a word that has sort of become shorthand for psychopath and there's a distinct difference, it's interesting if you look it up.
