The poster, in effect and perhaps unintentionally (I hope, at least), equates homosexuality with perverts, which in our culture is generally a word used in reference to child molesters. What I would love to see is one that talks about loving rich CEOs, lobbyists, and Republicans, and rich white liberals who pay lip service to helping the poor.

The "Homosexual" text is the one that I was on the fence with, and I understand reading it from their point of view. I feel the other words all work with the message. I like the idea of making this into multiple design depending on region and culture. My town is primarily Christian, but is very much in a bubble. I want people to re-think how they see sinners.

It might be even better if you change up the text a little. For example, read it from the perspective of a person who is struggling with one of those sins (a homosexual for instance). It would appear that you lump them in with murderers, etc. I'm pretty sure they'd be offended and miss the core message at the end. You should recast the text to include Christians in the list (add sins like pride, bigotry, obesity, hypocrisy, etc.) And, then change the last line to be inclusive, maybe "Christ died for us all" or something. Just a thought. Great work! I like the thought and the design. It might be even better if you change up the text a little.
