The bible and Quran reflected what passed for morality at the time.
They no longer reflect our morality hardly at all, which is why moderates generally present God as being completely different to the character in the books, to the point where the books are irrelevant.
Take some responsibility and just own your own morality, rather than say "It's what I've been told to do." Have some confidence that you know enough about the world to decide for yourself what is right or wrong, instead of highlighting the tiny amount of an old book which lines up with how you want to behave anyway and calling it divinely inspired morality.
