One problem with Christian morals is that God was immoral in the Bible. He told the Hebrews to attack people and commit genocide. He told them to kill every man woman and child. He specified that infants and sucklings were to be killed. When David sinned, he punished him by killing his son and having ten of his wives raped in public, he sends bears to attack children, he almost makes Ezekiel eat bread cooked with human shit, but is persuaded to allow cow shit instead.

So you read “You shall not kill” and think that’s a pretty good moral, but then you read God saying he is going to kill everybody and have pregnant women ripped open and their babies dashed against rocks. There’s not many ways to reconcile that except to say he’s God, he can do whatever he wants.

That opens up the idea that, if you’re doing what god wants, you can probably get away with a lot of shit too. If you steal from this elderly person, you’ll put the money to good use, so god would want that. If you lie and cheat, well, you’re on mission from God and you gotta break eggs to make an omelette.

Morals are flexible to God, so if you get your morals from God they’re flexible for you too. And if not, it’s ok, you just get forgiven anyway.
