Here's the problem: you are judging how others choose to live their lives.  It's why I think Olie's "love your children despite the wrong they do" analogy fails.

Religions should try a little more "live and let live," then perhaps they wouldn't piss so many people off.

 I get the appeal, and I generally agree.  I do not like to impose my beliefs on others.  That is why I find my greatest dissonance in my Church's political action against gay marriage.  I believe it is wrong.  But I also have real difficulty believing that legislating against it is right.  People commit adultery, and I feel that is far worse, and yet that is legal.

But is it wrong to teach others my beliefs?  Is it wrong to share why I believe it is wrong?  Is it wrong to encourage them not to engage is immoral practices?  Is it wrong to abhor sin, while showing an increase in love towards the sinner?  I really don't think so.
