Christians don't believe there's objective morality.

Love is good. Selfishness is evil. Jesus upheld the spirit of the law, rather than the letter of the law. The letter of the law is the actions Moses and other prophets commanded--they change. The spirit of the law is the mindset behind these commands. It has never changed.

You are speaking in generalities. When one does that and does not go to the specifics, one is able to cover up a multitude of sins. The fact is what is moral has changed over time and I'm prepared to enter into a formal debate with any Christian who is audacious enough to say nay. Do we have a place for formal debates in Atheist Forums?
