One of the three religions that involves the worship of God, along with judaism and islam (judaism refers to God as "Yahweh", and islam refers to God as "Allah").
Christianity revolves around the belief of the teachings of Jesus Christ. Christianity also has different branches, including catholicism (popularly-believed to be a radical and strict form of christianity), lutheran (said to be christianity for blacks), protestant, and presbyterian.
Unfortunately, christianity has been perverted by the world to be an awful religion based around occult-relations....this is because there are stupid people who claim to do bad things in God's name (see Al Qaeda & KKK; the KKK discriminates in the name of christianity).
Christianity revolves around love for everything, including fellow human beings. Unfortunately, we as human beings are doomed to hate one another because of our nature. Nevertheless, there are those who try to follow christianity strictly, so much that they don't say words like "damn" or "fuck" (christianity has been popularized as a personality where people don't swear).
On a sidenote, the dominant religion now is a battle between christianity and islam. Many are converting to islam for countless reasons; it is apparently a fascinating religion, albeit strict (and you're forbidden to eat pork).

In the programming language Prolog, a cut (articulated by the exclamation point) removes all choicepoints created by the preceding statement. Use of the cut is deprecated, or at least discouraged.
A choicepoint is a fork-in-the-road to a Prolog program. Multiple branches of possibilities are saved at this point, with the intention of returning (or "backtracking") to a different path if the current one does not lead to success.
Too many choicepoints, and the program may run out of stack. (ie. Not have enough memory available to store all previous opportunities for different paths.) A cut can prevent this, if used properly, by erasing choicepoints that are no longer relevant or necessary.
For those of you still with me, it's about 2am and I'm tripping on psilocybin mushrooms. So you're going to have to bear with me. Right now, I could use some exclamation points. I'm in serious need of a cut, as the several preceding paragraphs are no doubt proof of.
This nice little analogy probably isn't too clear to anyone outside my head, but to me, the brain normally behaves like a Prolog program with an abundance of exclamation points. Stray thoughts are "cut" out of existence before they can either clog one's brain, or exit via the mouth and manifest themselves as an act of stupidity. In an absence of cuts, however, thoughts may grow out of control and essentially clog one's head. This absence of cuts may be achieved though the use of drugs conventionally classed as "hallucinogens", whether intentional or not.
This absence can be advantageous in moderation, as it can allow thoughts that would normally be subconsciously expelled as absurd or even primitive to blossom into new ideas. But as previously stated, a cut is useful every now and then just to "clear one's head" if the thoughts become overpowering or focusing on any one idea becomes difficult.
And I think this little essay is a good example of the absence of cuts, what they can lead to and why the cut is necessary in day-to-day life. So please, someone hand me an exclamation point.

Me: "I need some explanation points."
Trip buddy 1: "What?"
Me: "I need some explanation points."
Trip buddy 2: "Are you Einstein?"
Prolog code example:
factorial(N,M) :- N < 0, !, fail.
factorial(0,1).
factorial(N,M) :- X is N-1,
factorial(X,Y),
M is N * Y.
