Does Christianity blind you to right and wrong?

Christ gave us the two greatest commandments, to love God, and love people. These are the GREATEST two, they trump all others. What is immoral about that?

no it doesn't- God is a just God, the reason that all of these things happend was b/c the ppl all lived in sin (yes we are all sinners but they wouldn't accept Jesus Christ as there saviour and ask him for forgivness) .

An example would be if someone got caught with a prostitute, stealing or killing someone- now they would go to jail- if the judge let them go we would all think the judge was crazy-

God had givin these ppl many chances to ask for forgivness, but they didn't take it.

We will all face judgement day, and maybe even the end of times- all the answers are in the bible- God didn't just kill these ppl cuz they didn't believe in him!

Let us, for a moment, analyze your claims:

1. Christians fall on the wrong side of morality. They have created a "furor" over the issue of sexuality, which is a non-issue to those who are "free to think about it."

-Realistically, the claim you are making here is "only those who are open to other sexual lifestyles are right;" this makes it nearly impossible for the contrary to be accepted because you have already discredited anyone who believes opposite. Christians take the viewpoint that homosexuality is incorrect because it goes against God's will for our lives and to support such things, Christians look at the inherent function of sex, which is procreation first and pleasure as a secondary function. Looking at the physiology of the human body, one sees the different avenues of homosexual congress as defying the physiological make-up of the human body, but in a culture that deems S&M an acceptable taboo, homosexuality's acceptance is not surprising, for man seems intent on finding a deviant pleasure in abuse. Our confusion, though, rests in believing that common opinions denote actuality, wherein this issue is fully understood that the Christian is a light in the world.

What is the significance of a single light in the daytime?

2. The actions of the God of Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob were morally repugnant.

-Consider for a moment that there is a God. What could be attributed to such a being? Well we could, at maximum, say that God is "all-knowing," "all-seeing," "omni-present," and "omnipotent," but is such a being bound to moral law? Morality was one issue that Bertrand Russell could never wrap his mind around, specifically its objectivity. Logically, if morality existed independently from God and He had to abide by it, then one could rightfully state that God is not really God, but a lesser being to one who established an unbreakable law. Morality, meaning "living in accord with the standard of right or good conduct," demands that standard to exist and if God is indeed God, which has been proclaimed from the mouths of His servants, then He does not need to abide by any moral law that you have established, for He and He alone is that standard, because He first demanded of us a way to live.

3. Eternal punishment and salvation by faith are morally ugly.

-Ugly is an interesting term to use. What I mean to say is that it is a term that implies personal preference, in that it is ugly to those that are opposed to that which is unsavory to the one's perception. Slavery is ugly to those who feel free, ignorance is ugly to the knowledgeable, brunettes are ugly to the one who prefers blonds, yet it too also implies a standard of perfection from which everything else is compared. To loosely use what Augustine wrote in his Confessions, what is the regression of beauty and its recognition, specifically, what was first recognized as beautiful? Who first recognized it as such and how was it first recognized if beauty had never existed prior to this first recognition?

Ugly is such an ugly word to use and is irrelevant to the case, for all it does is support the notion that the world is against and has always been against God.

Peace and love in His,
