The Bible is probably the worst source of morality you could ever come across. The God of the Old Testament (Yaweh) is arguably the most unpleasent character in all fiction, and although Jesus is a vast improvement, he does himself endorse all of God's instruction in the OT and he isn't exactly kindly and forgiving to those who didn't follow his teachings.
stoning adulterers (let he is without sin cast the first stone) i believe that changed a teaching, killin children (your getting this from where), mary was pregent out side of wedlock! jesus preformed works on the sabbath again cancelling out that teaching, as for the rest again all taken out by and disregagred by jesus himself. unless youn can show me where they are included! can u show me were just os nasty to his followers! u acusing without proving.

Read at your leisure, and as I said, alhough the character of Jesus and the NT is a vast improvement over God and the OT, he till endorses everything stated in the OT and if you only take Jesus in half his moods then he's certainly a wonderful character, the other half, not so much. But that just proves how Christians cherry-pick the text.

It's beyond any doubt, ie, for all intense and purposes it's a fact as it's supported by literally millions and millions of mutually substantiating facts and countless different types of studies, including psychological studies which backs up the evolutionary roots of morality. The whole area of evolutionary psychology is predicated on this fact. It does explain why there is evil in the world and it doesn't go against survival of the fittest as I already outlined why. This simply proves how unbelievably ignorant you are on the subject.
