Fight sin? Christ has already dealt with it! What are you fighting?

Better things for a Christian to do = Let your life glorify God - Love God - Love others - share the gospel with the lost (including homosexuals) - help the least of these .......

fight sin....don’t need to, Jesus has already won that battle for me.

You are misguided. Christ gave man a path to salvation through the way of the Cross.
Sin is ever present in this world and has not been mitigated by Christ’s sacrifice. Satan is very much of this world and each man is not saved by the act of Christ, but each man has an opportunity to save himself through the Lamb of God. Christ encourages us all to follow Him. He does not encourage to follow Him and continue to sin.
Pastors like Warren should be ministering to their flock, encouraging them to follow the ‘way’ of Christ.

I think I did mention love the sinner, hate the sin?
Don’t understand your comment about loving others including homosexuals... do you know how to read, or do you do so selectively?
Jesus gave you a way to salvation. Follow His path and you will be saved. Interpreting his path to mean whatever you think it should may make you feel you’ve ‘won the battle’, but belies the message of Christ.
