To ask if you are not a Christian, what non Christian values you live by?

[BlossomBlanket]

Just that really!

Most of the people who call themselves Christians don't follow the teachings of the bible.

Probably mostly the same as some humans wrote in the bible - don't kill or hurt people, don't steal from people, don't do nasty stuff to other people. We have morals because we are social animals who have empathy and realise that it's best if we treat other people how we want to be treated. Nobody needs a book to work that out.

They are every religion and no religion values

This might be true

Most of the people who call themselves Christians don't follow the teachings of the bible.

Then they are Christians in name only. @LivingDeadGirlUK

"Depart from me, I never knew you." JC.

I am sure that Jesus would be labelled as woke and an enemy of the people if he was to preach his sermons today.

And many people who talk about Judeo Christian values don't seem to follow them. That's if they even know them.

I'm not religious but DH family is. So we were engaged before we moved in together and married young. It's worked out better for me in the long run I'd say reading stories on here of women being left high and dry with kids to support and limited access to funds when their DP fucks off with another woman, because they weren't married. It turns out the 'just a piece of paper' is very valuable indeed.

Its called the no true scotsman fallacy.

The Ten Commandments are quite a good starting point I think. Obviously if you’re not religious leave out the god ones.

Also,
be respectful, considerate, empathetic and kind

Oh, I get it. Because we are atheists we must be immoral.

Listen here: If you can only act like a decent human being because you are afraid of punishment then you are not a decent person.

Have people seen The Good Place on Netflix?

Without any spoilers, it's a very interesting show on what being good actually means, living an ethical life etc.

If people are trying to be good just to get into Heaven, are they truly good people?

You 2 are gonna be reported and deleted. You must know how easily offended these religious types are. Their views matter more than yours 😂

I agree. But the question was asking for. Some non- Christian values. So to name those ones is incorrect!

I'm a Christian but:

1. I believe that same sex couples should be welcomed and married in church if they choose.
2. I believe that there is one God but we call him different things.
3. I believe in the supernatural/ paranormal.
4. I believe being a good human being is more important than belief in God.
5. I don't pray. 6)I don't believe in hell.
6. I swear often but never take the Lords name in vain.
7. I think the bible is just a guideline and is outdated.
8. I hate preachy people who thinks everyone should be a Christian.

Except in this case it's true. @pikkumyy77

If people are trying to be good just to get into Heaven, are they truly good people?

You can't get into heaven by being a good person. @cakeorwine

What denomination do you see yourself as? @Menopausalmum43

Is it ignorance to call out hypocracy?

It isn't hypocrisy if you understand it. @Tryingtokeepgoing

A more interesting question would be what Christian values people calling themselves Christian actually live by!

Much harder to answer!

Given the context of calling somebody bald, it is obviously younger children, but regardless of age, it isn't really acceptable to murder 40 youngsters by tearing them apart with two she bears.

Exactly this.

Most core values are universal. If you read the Bible or a holy book, you will find that the number one value is centred around love or kindness or caring - which transcends all.

I live by I am not better than anybody, but nobody else is better than me.

I don’t know if this stems from a holy book or philosopher - or a writer…

I was reliably informed that my son would go to Hell if I didn’t have him Christened. I decided to risk it, and to get said person to repeat back to me very slowly what they had just said. Did they honestly believe this would happen to a newborn baby boy just because his mother hadn’t had him Christened? Utter insanity.

I treat my slaves well.

Well...when I had a brief period of interest in neopaganism as a teen and, very briefly, was listed as a moderator of a regional subforum, I received quite a lot of death threats from Christians.

Christians also tend to support the death penalty in higher numbers than the general population.

I think its fair to say that Christian views on killing are...nuanced.
