[soc.religion.christian] Reply to "hate the sin, but love the sinner"

Sorry not to do a direct reply to the message in question, but every time
I tried, I got another message quoted in my editor.  Oh, well . . .

As for attributing this to Gandhi; well, he may have said it, too, but I
just read it yesterday in the Gerald Walsh, et al, translantion of St. Augustine's _City of God_.  So either that's an anachronistic translation, or 
St. Augustine beat Gandhi to the punch by about 1500 years.
