In answering the question, the 'norms' of Christianity, I assume, are what Christianity is really about and not what you read on some of these pages about gay-bashing, intolerant bigotry.
Simply put, Christians follow the life and teaching of Jesus Christ. They believe in a Creator and being made in the image of that God, in that they are spiritual as well as physical creatures. They believe in a God of love, who loves all (even the first answerer) equally. Christians believe that they are to reciprocate this love directed both towards God and towards their fellow human, irrespective of race, sex, creed or level of stupidity or offence he might cause.
Christians believe in the teaching, life and miracles of Jesus, and believe that he is God incarnate. They believe in his death on the Cross as a solution for sin and death, and his subsequent resurrection as proof that death is conquered and that it is not the end.
However, equally as important as a heavenly eternal life when we die, following a Christian lifestyle of love, forgiveness and joy makes life so much worthwhile, and having great meaning. It's no surprise that statistically Christians have fewer cases of depression, less illness and live longer an more fruitful lives. As Jesus himself said [John 10:10] "i come to bring you life... an life in all its fullness".

Absolutely not. There are few religions as different from each other as Christianity and Hinduism. Christianity is monotheist. Hinduism is polytheist. Christianity believes in an afterlife. Hinduism believes in reincarnation. Christianity opposes caste systems. Hinduism is based on a caste system. Christianity has a moral code based on love. Hinduism has a moral code based on it's Caste System. There are more differences but these should make it obvious that the two religions have little in common.
Anorexia is a dangerous and often deadly eating disorder. Promoting such behaviors and encouraging anorexic behaviors is not helpful and WikiAnswers.com cannot do that. Thank you.
Christianity played a significant role in Spanish colonial rule as it was used as a tool for conversion and assimilation of indigenous populations. The Spanish believed it was their duty to spread Christianity and save souls, which also helped justify their colonization efforts. Christianity provided a way to control and influence the beliefs and behaviors of the indigenous populations, facilitating the establishment of Spanish authority and governance in the colonies.
A code of conduct is important because it gives employees a set of principles to measure behavior by. It also makes the work environment more pleasant as it curtails negative behaviors.
no, there is no code. except the one that 4chan developed to see them just google "rules of the internet" I can't post them due to obscene language
The key differences between Taoism and Christianity lie in their beliefs about the nature of the divine, the purpose of life, and the afterlife. Taoism emphasizes harmony with nature and the Tao, while Christianity focuses on a personal relationship with God and salvation through Jesus Christ. Additionally, Taoism does not have a strict moral code or a concept of sin, while Christianity teaches a moral code based on the Ten Commandments and the belief in original sin. In terms of the afterlife, Taoism generally focuses on achieving immortality or becoming one with the Tao, while Christianity teaches about heaven, hell, and the resurrection of the dead.
Chivalry was a code of conduct that was developed by feudal nobles. Chivalry represented a high moral code that knights held themselves to. The code was a combination of moral and religious ethics along with a dedication to the service to others. Medieval values were deeply entrenched by those of Christianity.
Judaism--Jesus was a Jew and the Christians still accept the Hebrew Bible as scripture. Christianity also has influences from Egyptian religion, Greek religion, and other Middle Eastern religions.Jesus started the Catholic ReligionRoman Catholic AnswerIndeed, Christianity is just Judaism fulfilled. Jesus not only was a Jew but was the Messiah that had been predicted all through the Old Testament. There are literally hundreds of predictions about the Messiah, and Jesus fulfilled every single one of them.
The Bible tells you to dress modestly, but the interpretation of "modestly" is up to you. Keep in mind, Christianity is not about rules, it's about relationship with God.
The code of Hammurabi has a lot of Christian "rules" and "punishments" BUT, the difference is that Christians speak spiritually. Those guidelines from the code of Hammurabi are good and they taught respect in those days but there was no love behind it, only fear, fear of man. In Christianity, it is all written out of Love and with simple truth of "I just want my bride to be with me!" Jesus just wants his beloveds to be with him, so, he puts commandments, not to limit us but to help us spend an eternity with him!!!! :)
Knights were supposed to live by the Code of Chivalry. This was the code that states that knights have to respect both the poor and women, never show fear in battle, and also respect and honor those who have a higher authority than you.
