The Commandments relating to moral behavior (kill, steal lie, adultery, are presumably things that reasonable people, even at that time, would have agreed to be in one's best interests to follow. Keep in mind, these commandments meant - Thou shalt not kill a Hebrew! Gentiles and infidels were excluded. Our morality (JudeoChristian) has evolved over the eons, more a result of Free thinking and The philosophy of the Enlightenment. Our trouble with the Muslims is that they still actually practice Biblical justice and morality.

I agree with you about cultures learning from one another but again I would push back on the "moral clarity" portion of your argument. Who decides what is moral? I am Christian and we might say it comes from the Bible but the Bible can be interpreted in different ways by different cultures. Sad things is as you say, Christianity has done a lot of good through history and maybe spread "unity" but sometimes it became more about uniformity. I do think that diversity may include diversity in morality...for some, steal in all circumstances may be wrong but to others, stealing to feed the starving may be praised...I think we can never come up with just one moral code...I think that love in the context of Christianity supports this...YPPDANhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03265130226046485585noreply@blogger.com
