I have watched with a measure of aggravation people, who are clearly not true Christ followers beat down others with "Love your neighbor as yourself" as some sort of justification to accept anything wrong as right. I think the problem is that unbelievers, whether they just are unbelievers or are just fake believers, cannot understand real love. It's not a slam. It is truth.
Love your neighbor as yourself is not agreeing with evil deeds out of some fake notion of love, it is love your neighbor as yourself knowing that they are wrong. Few can or will grasp what seems like a fine line.
Love is not participating in evil or wrong deeds but loving the person even if it means walking away and letting them continue in their sin. This runs counter to culture and will earn you much hate.
