Don't react, instead, reflect.
Christians denounce murder and violence, because God does, yet we care about the murderer and the violent person;
Christians denounce stealing, because God does, yet we care about the thief;
Christians denounce lying, because God does, yet we care about the liar;
Christians denounce adultery, because God does, yet we care about the unfaithful spouse;
Christians denounce idolatry, because God does, yet we care about those who follow false gods;
Christians denounce child abuse, because God does, yet we care about the abusers;
Christians denounce homosexuality, because God does, yet we care about those who are entangled in unnatural affections.
Through the years I have met people who are held captive by these things, and they want to justify themselves by getting approval from people of a like mind, or from society at large, or from a higher power, including the Bible and God. However, the only justification is obtained when we acknowledge our sins and ask God to forgive and deliver from the grip of rebellion.
We have all needed the Savior to save us from our sins. Jesus saves His people from their sins.
Don't be angry with Christians because we agree with God. After all, Christians love people, in spite of the fact that they are enslaved to those sins, not because they practice those sins. And we love others because God loved us and He loves them.
