Ohhh... you got a few hours?
On the surface, it's love theigh neighbour, which translates in to tolerance of people with different opinions.
Nice!
A little bit darker: You don't have to be tolerant at all, you can hate homosexuals, muslims and everyone who is not like you, and no matter what your opinion is, you can justify it with the holy bible.
Search long and hard, and you'll find that quote that says You're Right, and They're Wrong.
Oh, don't forget: Sex is filthy. Did you know why? Because ... it gives you pleasure. And Men wasn't put on this earth to experience pleasure. He is born sinful and should abstain from pleasure as much as possible, so he can devote his life to God. Serious: this is the protestant/reformed way of thinking.
The Catholic way is a little more relaxed: So you've sinned. You've peeked at a girl. You drank alcohol. You lied to your mom. No worries, just confess! and all will be forgiven.

Christian morality isn't morality. Bcoz a notorious criminal could be justified as long he repents. So i don't think it must be implemented in the courts.
