I enjoyed reading your post, Niluial. [img]smilies/smile.gif[/img]
True, the "moral compass" defines a standard. Scrupulousness and righteousness are often (if not always) favored; vainglory and lust are rarely (if not never) admired.

Mr. Greenleaf: Of course, when we refer to Christianity, we don't just refer to doctrines but more importantly the virtues (Niluial has mentioned quite a lot). [img]smilies/smile.gif[/img]

I just came to thinking, though... Although certain virtues (i.e., mercy, etc.) are strongly held by Christianity, these virtues are not exclusively Christian, are they? - It's not really relevant to this discussion, but I was just thinking.
