One thing that used to really disturb me was when Christians said that without the Bible, there was no basis for morality, like you wouldn't know what to do, if what you were doing was right or wrong. They say the only reason we have morals today, is because of the cultural conditioning that has resulted from Christianity, without it, we would all be mindless barbarians.

Yet, you look at the religions and philosophies of the world, that just happen to be older than the New Testament at least, and you see the same thing, treat others with respect/dignity, do good to others because it's doing good to you... so that seems to invalidate their point. I think their mindset is, "yeah, but if you invalidate Christianity, then we'll all be killing or raping each other! So there's some value there!"

Whatever. I'm more concernced with an image of a Christian interacting with their everyday life, and being at a moral crossroads every fifteen minutes, having absolutely no idea how to deal with another person until they flip open their book and find a corresponding verse. Seems like a life of utter confusion.
