But this is still besides the point. The question was whether the moral values expressed in Christianity (as opposed to moral rules or commands) are cherrypicked, not whether or not they exist outside of it.
Um no, humans merely buy what society sells them, most of the time at birth before they can formulate adult critical thinking skills. God/s are merely a reflection of human's qualities. There is no super cognition doing any of this, and if humans want to do good or bad, it is strictly in the individual as to what they do.
Yes, like truth, people often buy what society tells them is true, but people often reject what society tells them as well, often unmasking the lies and delusions of immorality, for moral truth.
Evil is like ignorance, and not like personal presences.
