That's nothing to be ashamed of. Got to remember that your belief system was essentially hijacked at an early age. Keep thinking and you may yet get those pesky absolutes out.

I/Christianity still has sin, their status has not changed. what was wrong before is still wrong today. We are simply are no longer defined as being righteous (or not) by our ablity to keep the Law.
Not sure why you think this is a selling point. I've never needed to think "that is evil always and forever" in order to feel justified in my moral reactions.

Did you get married and are required to show love to your wife as apart of your contract?
Or
Did you get married because you loved her?
We don't toe the line for salvation. we toe the line because we want to. we want to show love to God.
Touche'.
