Before I can truly respond to the OP, I must have a clear understanding of the moral standard the poster is applying. An example of the type of non-theistic standard I find objectionable is an evolved human moral sense. On the other hand, if the OP means that a superficial reading of some scripture seems to apply moral standards that would condemn other parts, then he has a valid point, but as a general claim I find the OP without foundation.
I guess the OP is using "evolved moral sense" as the standard. Why do you find it objectionable?
