I hear so much about Christian morals. How they are so much better than other people's or that other people can't possibly even have any morals because they are not christian. How the world would be a better place if everyone had Christian morals.
Can some Christian please tell me exactly what Christian morals are?

They'll give you a list of stuff, none of which didn't already exist before Christianity existed, lol.
Sorry Christians, the Golden Rule (as just one tiny example) existed for CENTURIES before the Bible quoted Jesus saying to turn the other cheek. The sad thing is that many of them really think that every positive moral in the world originated in Christianity. Ignorant fools.

I tried living by Christian morals for most of my life. It didn't work.
Me, I'm a good girl and I think I am a great role model to my younger cousins. But if a "real" Christian looked at me right now, they would say completely otherwise.
Because I don't believe in "waiting until marriage", and I do believe in equality between women and men, and I don't believe that there even IS a hell, a "real" Christian would tell me that I am headed for hell.
But I am a good person, doing the best I can for the earth. A person can be a dedicated humanitarian, an environmental activist, and an anti-racism warrior; but as long as they don't live EXACTLY as the bible says, they are on the path to hell.
This is what a "real" Christian would tell you.

My morals may or may not be the same as yours. I believe in
Respect for others and self
Love to all people
Honesty always
Purity
Caring for others
Commitment to God and family
I also include the Ten Commandments and the Golden Rule into my life.

There is no such thing as Christian morality.
Morality is displayed by the way you behave when you believe no one is watching.
Since Christians believe that God is always watching and will either reward or punish them for their actions, there is no occasion in the life of a Christian when they will have the opportunity to display their morality or lack thereof.

You are wrong. We point out our morals because they are good, but we never say our morals are better than others. We just say that if you were to look at a christian, it is less likely that we would have criminal records or would be leaders of a cult with malevolent intentions, like those who we argue against.

Most of the so called Christian morals are also Taoist and Buddhist , which existed for centuries before Jesus.

christian morals is the same as just having morals, you dont have to believe in God to say its wrong to have sex before marriage. we do our best to be Christ like! the only difference would be the christians have morals plus serve Christ. nonbelievers have morals and dont believe in Christ. we believing in him we also have our heaven while the ones that "just have morals" dont believe in our Christ so therefore we were taught w/out believing you wont see heaven. this was no judgement on anyone this was just speaking from what was taught to me.

Christian means "Christ like', so, morals are to try and live like Christ did. Of course, no one can, but the effort is the reward for me. Knowing I am doing my best. Remember also, Christians aren't perfect, just saved. Just like you have to take a bath everyday to clean the dirt, grime and yuck away from your body, so do you have to take an "inner bath" of spiritual cleaning through prayer to cleanse your heart and soul so you may act like a true Christian. Thanks for the question, and have a super day!!

The laws of God can be summed up in this way: "You shall love the Lord your God with all your heart, wit all your mind, and with all your soul. And the second is that you shall love your neighbor as yourself." This is the foundation of all Christian morals.

well i am an atheist but i suppose the bible conveys moral practices, the ten commarndments would be one example what idon't like its 'if you think your not acountable then you think you have an excuse to behave how you want' well how about this 'you have the excuse to behave how ever you want because on earth the atheist will always be looking for human forgivness, you just go to church and its wish granted'
