Answer 2

It depends who you ask as some christian priests protect peado priests and blame thier victims for leading the priests on - some priests even transfer peados rather then telling the law, this indicates that the religious think that they are above the law.
Christians have persuaded people that it's ok to be racist in the past but some have rejected that, they have done the same for gays but people are also rejecting that too.
Christian morality seems to be to tell everyone how to live and to love even when it's unwanted, they'll then abuse you and wonder why they are so hated when this doesn't work and when people don't fall for thier lies. Christianity has been responsible for a lot of evils and the pope is helping to kill africans by condemning condoms
Edit: dbytz is also right

Answer 3

christian morality is a restrictive set of morals, loosely based on Biblical teachings modified by 2000 years of various people injecting their own, unsubstantiated beliefs into it. It is significant to our lives as many of our current laws are based on some form of this morality i.e. for many years women had to endure unsanitary condition and under qualified doctors in order to have an abortion; today same sex marriages aren't allowed (for no other reason that Christian morality prohibits it). These examples and others show how "Christian morality" impacts our lives -- mostly in a negative way.

Answer 4

In my opinion, Christian morality's basis is the Golden Rule: Do unto others as you would have them do unto you. Christians follow the precepts that Jesus Christ laid down. The idea that one should love his neighbor as much as he loves himself. Granted, some Christians need serious work on this idea, themselves, as we are not perfect! But we should all be striving to follow these guidelines. If everyone did, the world would be a much nicer place to live, I believe. That belief instills in us a certain morality that dictates, or should dictate, a way of behavior that if practiced, would eliminate much if not all hate related crimes. Non-Christians love to remind us how we are not living the moral life we profess, which is fine. They should be reminding us. But they should all remember that we are not perfect and struggle with our sin daily. But each day should bring us closer to that goal of bringing glory to our Lord. Thank the Lord we have forgiveness in Him and start fresh every day because we often fail! Hope that answers your question! Have a glorious day!!

Answer 5

Luke 10:

25 ¶ And, behold, a certain lawyer stood up, and tempted him, saying, Master, what shall I do to inherit eternal life?
26 He said unto him, What is written in the law? how readest thou?
27 And he answering said, Thou shalt love the Lord thy God with all thy heart, and with all thy soul, and with all thy strength, and with all thy mind; and thy neighbour as thyself.
28 And he said unto him, Thou hast answered right: this do, and thou shalt alive.

Continue on in the chapter and you'll get the parable of the good samaritan.

As for its significance in our lives? The parable is preceded by the lawyer asking "Who is my neighbor?" The significance of the morality of christianity is nothing unless that morality is put into action. The world would be a far better place if we could all figure out who our neighbors are.

It would be a perfect place if people were able to follow two simple commandments; love God and love your neighbor as yourself.

Answer 6

That's a question that can't be fully explored in a small posting on Yahoo Answers. But I would actually suggest that if you are interested in the topic of Christian morality and its role in the world, you might consider reading the Catechism of the Catholic Church.

Although it is a guide that is denominationally specific to the Catholic Church, its commentary section on the ten commandments is by and large consistent with the views of most Christians.

See "SECTION II: The Ten Commandments"

Answer 7

Christian morality is significant because it steals money from the poor (in the form of tithes, donations and gifts to churches that are already fat), discriminates against non-believers, gays and women, condones killing in "god's" name, sends our nations to war and rapes our children.

Atheist morality, on the other hand, does none of these.

Answer 8

Well, if you are aware that Christ is a person who cares about us, wants us to live a certain way, rewards this way, and delivers undesireable consequences for living other ways, the morality He delivered to us in His words is significant, because it informs us what He wants. But if you have no such awareness, it cannot have significance, except as a tremendous missed opportunity.

Answer 9

first of all, i'm an non secular Catholic 2d off, i'm additionally a AP Psychology student From a non secular attitude i do no longer settle for homosexuality. i think a guy could desire to lay with basically a girl. From a private view i'm for gay marriage. i'm very professional gay rights. From a SocioPsychological view I understand that being gay isn't a rely of selection, that they could't help it. It has to do with the chemical compounds of their concepts. They cant help being gay anymore than me or you may help being in the present day. So in my view, you shouldnt communicate along with her approximately it. As you cant replace her concepts chemical compounds. there's no way you may replace her from being gay.

Answer 10

I do not know - what they usually display has no place in my definitions of morality, and thus the only significance it plays in my life is how much they have tried to dominate, control and hold me back.

Answer 11

Living by God's commandments. Following the ways of Jesus, especially when it's hard. We're subject to the same things in life that non-believers are, we just resist temptation. When life gets rough, we trust in Him to work it out in our best interests and know that He'll provide for us. When you live a moral life, you have less to repent for. There is a peace in knowing you're doing what is pleasing to God.
