If you live by the old law you die by the law.Jesus is the new way.Jesus said the old way was an eye for an eye But Jesus said I tell you if someone slaps you on your cheek turn the other cheek and let him slap that cheek.Love your enemies.Christian morality is summed up in these two things.Love Jesus and love everyone.You will not hurt the ones you love that is why the Iraq war has failed you can only fight evil with love.I did not say it that is what Jesus was trying to explain but very few understand this concept that Jesus put forth,It is the law that never fails.Every time someone is nasty to me i return their nasty with love,2 things will happen they will either apologize or run but I never was harmed

I'm not sure there's any such thing as Christian morality.
Morality means the judgment of good and bad behaviour according to conscience, but Christians claim to believe that human behaviour is judged according to whether or not it is consistent with the orders of their deity, reinforced by threat of punishment (hell) or promise of reward (heaven). If this is the case then clearly this is not morality, by any definition. In this worldview, to kill someone in order to steal their money might very well be unwise but it wouldn't be immoral. Conversely, any act at all would be regarded as justified as long as the believer was convinced that it was consistent with the deity's orders.
I think the most accurate way to characterise Christianity is that it is amoral.

I think that it's a sorry attempt to live morally, when the fact is that we are all immoral. I believe that many, many Christians lose sight of faith for their 'moral' walk with God.
It's a distraction, in my opinion.

Believe in God ......
If things go smoothly for you, thank God.
If things goes wrong, it's satan's fault.
If you kill, it is evil and wrong.
If you kill under the name of God, you are not wrong, the person you kill is evil and wrong.
If you do all evil in the world, as long as you repent to god you will be forgiven and you end up in heaven.
If you did all good in the world, as long as you do not believe in God, you will be cursed and you end up in Hell.
All good creations are God's gift
All bad creations are Satan's curse.
If things can be explained, it is God's doing.
if things cannot be explained, God works in mysterious ways and hence you are supposed to believe wholely and stop asking questions.
You get my point.
etc etc.....
Added for Cindy :D
Yup .... Like I said before, the world's greatest Murderer can go off scott free. Even if one gives life, one is not suppose to take it. When your parents give birth to you, they should kill you instantly since they are the one that gave you life.
Anyway, in personal view, even god has no right to take life, but then a lot of people is taking life with his name.
By the way, what did Satan do to deserve eternal curses? Who can atest to Satan betrayal? When a war is over, the winner is alway the righteous one, he can bend to anything he likes, since he is the winner.

Mainly it manifests itself as superstitious prejudice against other people and finger pointing to distract attention away from the immorality of the pointer... "Don't look at what I'm doing look over there!"

Being able to point a finger at others' shortcomings, but not acknowledging or realising your own.
