Old Testament & Christian Morality

RE: Old Testament & Christian Morality
(March 22, 2012 at 6:20 pm)Forsaken Wrote: They have said it...don't take the evil in the bible out of context. It was only meant for Israelites. That does not, however, stop them from taking Genesis literally.

Yet I am then met with arguments that atheists have no strict moral guidelines and are evil baby eaters. So how can they argue for strict morality when Jesus only gave vague examples on how to behave? The NT doesn't deny the right for a mother to marry her son or an uncle to marry his neice, would that be OK by God for two non-Israelite, modern day Christians? Where is this Objective Morality they keep telling me about?
