I think what gets lost is that the object, in 'objective' morality, is not some set of commandments or universal principles; but rather a person, the Divine Logos who is the Lord Jesus Christ and who serves as the standard by which Mankind is judged. It is only by His Mercy responding to our repentance that we are allowed to be in His presence.
Thank God someone gets it. (even if you are already christian)
What I've done here is to take the gospel strip it down to the bible backed bare bones and used it as a knife to carve up 'pop morality' exposing it's short comings. where this differs from a traditional gospel lesson, is instead of then pushing one brand or method of Christianity over another, I left all branches open and gave Christ the credit and control over who is and is not Christian. Explaining the freedoms found in the bible rather than focusing on the restrictions.
Stuff like this really upsets the apple cart with atheist and christian alike if they in fact they found some secret club/way to God. Or know God can't exist because of the argument that counters the 'secret club' biblical world view.
There are no actual shortcomings. The fact that we make and amend our own morality being an actual shortcoming is something you've yet to prove. All you've done is point to progress and act like it's a bad thing. You twist the fuck out of Bible verses to the point that you are outright lying on here.
Fact is, like it or not, you've shown nothing in the actual Bible that condemns any of the elements of infant rape. You cite a website saying fornication is anti-Biblical? Like we give a shit. We're talking about the god damn Bible. Give a verse or shut the fuck up. But no, you throw this act like you're trying to be intelligent, asking me to find a verse that specifically condones infant rape, claiming victory when I cannot find it.
The Bible gives specific laws (no cooking a goat in its mother's milk) and covers major and minor offenses, Yet there is no punishment for rape, pedophilia, or fornication. NONE. The closest it comes is when you rape or fornicate UNDER SPECIFIC CIRCUMSTANCES which results in a punishment. You deny this and twist it the best you can because you're a lying sack of shit as has been shown already.
Our atheist pop morality is better than your bullshit pop religion any day.
Jesus is like Pinocchio. He's the bastard son of a carpenter. And a liar. And he wishes he was real.
