  Wikipedia (which I do not consider as an authority in anything other than being a good read) defines it as:
  1. Most commonly, a number of unique Christian worldviews held by those referring to themselves as Christian;
  2. Alternatively, the common elements of all Christian worldviews;
  3. Most rarely, a single "Christian worldview" on the full range of issues, in which all views differing from the "Christian worldview" are seen as "non-Christian" or "sub-Christian."
  
  There are tons of sites when you type in either "Christian Worldview" or "Definition of Christian Worldview". I had previously stated that I will not provide any links because I am uncertain of these sites' theology.
  
  In reality, even before reading up wikipedia, I have concluded that there is not one universal Christian worldview (ie point 3 above).
  
  I just wish that the thread starter can do some prior research instead of just dumping the question here in EH. This is especially so when one is questioning his own faith.
  
  

  After reading a few pages of explainatories.
  Somehow i conclude that this topic is going nowhere; cases of extremes(characters are fictonal)
  eg.
  1 MC thinks there's nothing eating Chicken because it has proteins. And is good for all man to partake so to grow strong and increase immunity.
  2 Icemoon thinks that because of Bird Flu, Chickens in particular should be killed. Otherwise it'll threaten the survival of mankind.
  3 MC's son felt that Chickens shouldn't be killed at all. Cos it's cruel for men to kill any living creatures.
  4 and so on....
  
  Conclusion.
  
  Since there isn't any scripture or doctrine to start off with. A 'guide' will facilitate to drive this discussion. Unfortunately, there is nothing for us to discuss on and nothing to fall back. Not even threadstarter's stand was mentioned.
  
  So, To each his own.
  
  Thanks Uncle Eng for the reply.
  
  HH: I hope you're sincere about learning. Like you believe the written word, what you feel is benefical to others. Share.
  
  Cheers

  Then you might be able to at least tell me what can you get out of this ' Christian Worldview' concept? So far?

  Your wish is my command I will close this thread.
  
  Let me add some before I close this. I think a worldview covers too many topics to be dicussed in a thread (it is almost everything under the sky). So I suggest that if anyone is interested, do so with a specific issue you want to discuss.
