Moral codes are based on religion and are compared to the standards set by religious teachings. Moral behaviour is judged on whether it agrees or disagrees with the teaching of God and religion, and this will determine whether it is to be considered right or wrong.

On the other hand, the gospel teaches about being non resistance, and therefore,Christians should not practice self defense. According the commandments, Christians are taught how to defend their neighbor and should use force and even weapons if necessary.This opened a chance for the military to defend the Roman Empire by using force and torture. The pacifists also interrupted the nonresistance, and they rejected non violence and civil disobedience. “If one is struck on the right cheek, turn on the other” (Matt. 5:39).

The Nature of Religion Kathy Legare rel/134 May 10 2012 University of Phoenix The Nature of Religion Describe the common elements of religion. An important element in a religion is to have a Supreme Being or person to worship. Where this supreme being(s) guides and teach people how to live.
