Question by Eric: How is Christianity the true source of morality?
Here’s a hint: it isn’t.

Conservative Christians believe in:

Preventing two people from loving each other with unethical, unresearched “conversion therapy” tactics.

Hitting their children when the children aren’t happy enough (Dr. James Dobson discusses this in “The New Dare to Discipline”)

Misleading young minds with their creationism and Noah’s Flood fables

Preventing American society from truly catching up with the Twenty-First Century (too many examples to go into).

Can you name any more?

Answer by candide
Christian moral teachings, as derived from the Bible, are a contradictory mess of historical myths about human nature combined with a pseudo-historical account which produces a confusing, weird and inappropriate set of morals. From sex abuse to Christian attitudes towards women, gays, blacks, slavery, Jews and to human dignity in general, Christianity has highlighted and encoded human evil at its worst. It is only against Christian moral theory that Christian heroes have battled to do good. The Christian concept of original sin – the punishment of future generations for the sins of parents, and God’s example behaviour in the Bible, are monstrously immoral, and other traditional sets of values such as the seven deadly sins and ten commandments are, when you actually inspect them, more suited to barbarians than civilised man. Christianity’s best morals happen to also be those espoused by nearly every other religion and philosophy and as such, in itself, Christianity is morally worthless and has contributed nothing to the world.

God is the source of true morality. One can know this for certain by praying the rosary regularly:
