How Do We Behave?

[Girlysprite]

While the article is kind of okay, it doesn't really answer my point.
You see, the rules about slavery written in the exodus statement come from god himself. If he didn't like slavery, why makes rules about how to treat slaves, and not just say 'hey, slavery, don't practice that'. I just checked with my own bible - after the basic commandments, there is a whole list of which in the start is made clear that GOD wants the people to obey these rules too.

Let's see. How you thought that God's intention wasn't to establish His Kingdom? That is, He didn't want to make a perfect country. It's something worth considering.

So we can conclude again that the rules in the bible are worthless if we want to derive a moral from them. They are rules for bronze-age desert people. Which puts Christians and Atheists at the same starting point if we wonder 'how do we figure out how to behave?' After all, both of us don't have a good 'source', which tells us what to do.
