Oh, is that the argument you were making? I thought you were saying "I don't love you because I can't accept your actions."
I'm saying if you accept me then you accept everything that comes with me, including such things as eating meat, or wearing furry dog suits. It is who I am. If I am a torturer, and you think you accept me, then, if you honestly accept me, you accept me torturing someone else. I think it's cut and dried.
Now, this is a purely hypothetical topic about my perspective on what acceptance is.
As for claiming I don't love anybody , I do because I do accept the choices of others. (I'm a relatively young parent) Parenting is only going to get more difficult as they get older because I am going to have to accept what they do.
Perhaps the reason this is brought up in this thread is because some equate "acceptance" with "partaking". Then, perhaps, they take it a step further to consider a grocery store purchase to be partaking in another's catalyst 200 miles away.
I don't think either would be correct. Especially as it relates to personal spiritual implications.
