So i'm thinking about this and it makes sense at first, BUT i take a second look and decide, "wait a minute here... It's THE SINNERS CHOICE to do what is right from what is wrong." So that kind of shoots this little tad of info to pieces. Of course this is just a bit of religious thinking and some may not even believe in associating wrong doing as a sin but wouldn't perfection be boring?

I guess the idea is you can deplore/disapprove/ or even dislike the sinner without hating them.

Whether you see it as THE SINNERS CHOICE depends a bit on your stance re free will and all that.

I suppose. The problem is maybe i just see things too black and white. But sometimes that's the way they are : /

Well i do believe we are all in control of our own destiny.

To hate the sin or the sinner?

In the words of Robin Williams:
