Discussion about Christianity by Christians and those who are curious.
Rule #1. Anti-Christian and anti-Bible statements will not be tolerated. Constructive criticism of Christianity is OK, however.
Rule #1.1. The measure for what is considered Christian, as has been the case in the faith since the earliest days, will be the faith proclaimed in the Nicene Creed.

MODERATORS
The moral principles are held to still stand today, just as you might still read something by a scientist like Newton on physics from some time ago, which may have some validity; moral principles like that it is "wrong to steal" are still as true today as thousands of years ago, just as the formula for the area of a circle hasn't changed throughout the centuries
Far far better places to go for morality than christianity
Such as? Don't the non-religious have no basis for morality?
Very old arguement that has no merit. We have morality because we don't need some magic person in the sky or a 2000 year old out of date textbook to tell us what is right from wrong. Nothing about current Christianity is moral and an atheist can be trusted to do the right thing far better than a Christian. This is constantly proven on a day by day basis with how riddled Christianity is with pedophilia and the rise of Christian nationalism that is entwined with white supremacy.
Very old arguement that has no merit
It seems to have merit though: if there is no moral code, a person can choose as their moral code abusive supremacy
