An expression to affirm love for others even while expressing that their bad is really, truly wrong, disturbing, and often times embarrassing to be around.
I love you and value you, I really do. But I hate it when you binge drink and steal stuff from your roommates. I lose some admiration for you. I guess I Love the Sinner, but Hate the Sin.

Get the Love the Sinner, but Hate the Sinmug. 
When a partner or friend becomes the "saint" and makes you the "sinner" usually referring to augments or differences. the "saint" will bring up the "sinners" past ie words or actions which a lot of times where supposedly forgiven while improvements may have been made since than, those are overlooked and the "sinner" person is judged on past actions or words that have no bearing today, alot of times the "saint" doesnt look on his or her faults and precedes to judge others without taking responsibility for their own actions thus making themselves the saint.
some examples of saint vs sinner syndrome
"The Saint" You have done ____ in the past...
"Sinner" And supposedly i apologized and was forgiven for it and even changed since than and yes that is way in the past so why iam i being judged now over it again? what about you?
"The Saint" this isn't about me.....

Betty: "Thank You, what church do you go to?"
Michelle: "It's the Church of Latter-Day Saints."
Betty: "Oh, I used to go to the Church of Saturday Saints and Sunday sinners! We had bingo, spaghetti suppers with a beer garden, wine with Communion. You go to church Saturday night, look all churchy, then the next day go back to being you! Come next Saturday, get reset to zero again."
