Morality of Christians?
415460
Christians in my opinion and experience are probably a bit less moral.  Look at the history.  Crusades.  Spanish Inquisition.....   Religion is just a method of controlling people.  Then once the ones that started it died and only the belivers survive to run it it becomes a boat with no captain.  A big scarry supertanker that will take out anyone in it's path.\n\nRemember anyone elses religion is just a superstition.  And the followers look like children trying to not step on cracks in the sidewalk to outsiders.  Think for yourself and live a good life.

Of course. It does not take a god to make one moral. Our human minds are capable of knowing what it takes to be a good person in society. Saying it takes a god is weak and it takes away from what a human can do.

You know, this is actually an interesting question.\n\nMany religious people believe that it is religion that gives them morals and prevents them from Hell and such. But really, it's not that at all. You can have morals but no religion.\n\nI believe that there is a moral world order, a sort of universal code that must be adhered to in order to preserve order and good in the world. This is not my religious feeling, but instead my moral compass, if you will. \n\nI don't do good deeds for fear of hell, or as supplication so that I may enter heaven. I do good and fight evil because I feel that good must always prevail over evil, or we will have lost our humanity, and become beasts.\n\nMorality is very often a black and white issue. Rape is never grayscale. It's never justified, and the people who commit it need to be put in prison or in an electric chair. They have forfeited their humanity, and like dangerous animals they need to be locked up or destroyed.\n\nOther issues that are black and white to me are murder, arson, and terrorism. Terrorism is never justified, no matter what. I don't care if US Black Hawk helicopters shot up your village or somthing as a kiddie and killed your mujahdeen daddy. The fact of the matter is that you can NEVER EVER kill civilians in cold blood for political reasons. You can never treat humans as tools for political advancement. \n\nMurder is never justified because killing another human being is just wrong. I say only murder, not killing, because murder is cold and premeditated. Manslaughter is also included in this. That a person could plan and execute a deadly attack on another is shocking to me.\n\nArson is never right either. No one has a good reason to be burning some buildings down.\n\nI disagree with you about Stalin. That was not religiously motivated. Nor was the Holocaust. In fact, the years 1936 to 1945 were remarkably unreligious given Germany's usually strong Catholic base. Hitler disliked the Church and largely they went along with him. However, Hitler did not claim divine support. \n\nHowever, atrocities are often commited in the name of religion. How about the Crusades, or the Thirty Years War? Thousands of lives wasted, all in the name of God!\n\nSometimes I think my moral compass is better than your Bible. I have all the morals with none of the religious radicalism.

I am Christian. Don't argue over other people's teachings. Just ask them to tolerate others, not to disturb us, not to terrorize others, not to press others to accept their customs when we have ours. And don't accept their customs if that infringes on our values. Amen

yes, it is. It defines your morals and who you are to others. Also being a Christian means living godly lives as Christ did. Others look up to you and see your prosperity, your love & care, and the values that are enstill within you. It will surely make you be a light to others and you'll feel good knowing that God is well pleased.

What do you expect from a Christian?\nSurely not honesty or integrity.

"anyone who is a good person is a Christian."  I don't agree.\n\nYou are not a Christian unless you believe the teachings of Jesus Christ.\nIt even says that in the dictionary.\n\n\n"...it takes more than (being good or nice) to be a follower of Christ."\n\nYou're right about that

I think that most Christians are good and do positive things. But then, I think that most people strive to be good and do positive things. We have all sinned and fall short of the Glory of God. No one is perfect.

Good question.  I agree with you.  Christian's do not hate anyone, just the actions that they do.

As an agnostic I do believe in morals values and preserving this little aquarium in space that we all live in. But being athiest does not make you any more moralistic or less than a religious person. Studies have shown that secular people have \nthe same morals as church folk. I would dare say that more have died in religously driven wars and disputes than common murder

I consider myself Christian, born and raised. My family has never been strict about it though. I don't believe that non-believers will go to hell. I do however believe that if you KILL, rape, or lead a life without morals, that you will suffer in your own hell that you caused others.

same as any other group of ppl. some are good, some arent so good. christianity started out with the best of intentions, but theres always going to be flaws with stuff like that.

"They see the speck of dirt in other peoples' eyes yet they are blind to the dirt covering their whole faces."\n\nThat above-mentioned paraphrased quote from the Christian bible perfectly describes the hypocrisy most "Christians" conduct against non-Christians.\n\nSad but true.\n\nPeace.

even if athiests are uglier then christians (which im not agreeing with, because both sides have their disrespectful people in them)... however christians are held to higher standards as they have a book to base morals from whereas athiests have their self for basis of morality.

Being good is not enough and not even for a christian. We can't continue in sin and expect God to reward us Heaven. God is not willing to turn his back on us if we do the right thing and that's serve him wholeheartedly. God is merciful and forgiven but we must repent and turn away from that lifestyle or sin.
