Finding Morality between the Covers

No... not the covers of a bed... the covers of a book.

Here's a good video that takes on the argument made by Christians that morality is "only possible" if you believe in the Bible...



I always wonder how many Christians actually read their own Bible. The Old Testament is filled with horribly outrageous immorality. Even the New Testament has bizarre edicts to punish actions that modern society see as morally neutral or even correct: women who act as deacons in a church, women who don't cover their heads in a church, divorce, homosexuality, slaves not obeying their masters, etc. How does this book "teach" morality?
