They talk a good talk, but they probably do most of those "immoral" things!!

I have had a lot of "fun" in my life. My teenage years were characterized by a complete lack of concern for others in the pursuit of a single goal: to have as much fun as possible. Unfortunately, that goal manifested itself in a number of self-destructive and addictive behaviors, and an unflinching attitude of "I don't give a **** about anything other than feeling good"
After six years of what I thought was "fun", I'm still trying to recover. I don't divide everything into "moral" and "immoral". The world is not black and white. Human morality is far more complex than a simple diagnosis of "good" and "bad". However, finding my faith has led me to a place in life where I realize there is far more to existence than satisfying every single one of my capricious whims.
My answer to this is that everything is not immoral to Christians. Rather, many of them have found something that is perhaps deeper and requires more than living according to what is considered "fun" according to the rules of the world.

we have lots of fun, actually, with a lot fewer regrets.
My college friends who were Christians gave way better parties... we actually had a great time, and didn't have any regrets the next day, either.
When the girls down the hall had parties, all they ever did was get drunk and arrested...
Why not think a little before you make wild generalizations?

According to the dictionary, fun is related to "befool."
It is related to "fond" which means "ptp. of fonnen to be foolish, orig., to lose flavor, sour."
Sourball is from 1900 as "constantly grumbling person."
Philippians 2:14-16
Do everything without complaining or arguing, so that you may become blameless and pure, children of God without fault in a crooked and depraved generation, in which you shine like stars in the universe as you hold out the word of life—in order that I may boast on the day of Christ that I did not run or labor for nothing.

Christian morality created self-destructive and abusive behavior. Look at their onslaught of divorce filings and illegitimate children. All because of religion!

if you are not a believer in Christ you are not held to the same laws I am you are able to do as you see fit. I do not push my laws on anyone if you become a Christian and proclaim your faith then and only then will I expect you to follow Gods laws.

I didn't realize that was the case. As far as I can see, Christian morality forbids self-destructive and abusive behavior.

That's not true. Just the other day I put an extra dash of salt on my eggs. I also had a refill on my coffee. And you don't think we have fun.

It's the antithesis to squirrelism, where nothing but squirrel hunting is immoral.
