Christians don't believe there's objective morality.

The scriptures are all of God's word no matter what translation it is, if you do not know what scriptures are then how is it you believe you can understand them. Personally I use the NASB and the ESB.
I see the problem you have with the scriptures above, why don't you try and reason them out, a little history would help you on this one, all in all it's simple. By the way I see no corner, I live with the Truth and in the Truth one is set free, not put into a corner.

It's not that I don't know what the scriptures are... it's that I had serious doubts that my concept was the same as yours.
Apparently, we're in sync on that one.

Good, I'm glad we are, I have often wondered if others understood what I meant when I referred to the scriptures, it was questioned once before.

But I fail to see that I have any problem with any piece of scripture. It looks plain enough... no history or anything required.
Or are you implying that all scripture must be interpreted according to the time it was written? Shouldn't your god have been a little more precise in his inspiration and provided a time-proof document?

I do not see how you can believe the two incidents in the scriptures you gave are close to the same, and yes in this case a little history of the times would clear things up. Hopefully you will research this and have a better understanding of the depth of study serious Christians do. Did you ever consider God might want us to use the brains He gave us. Haven't I heard it many times that this generation is the smartest yet, could be God wants to see if we will stand up to this claim.

Oh wait, I forgot.... it was written by a patriarchal people who imagined this god thing by putting in him a few characteristics of other previous gods that they had heard about.

Whatever is in that book, is just the ramblings of these people and should account for nothing in our society which is very very different from theirs, don't you agree?
Why then are so many people from this society so hung up on this book?

I can't imagine how strange this book will look to people who will live 500 years from now! Perhaps as strange as the Egyptian book of the dead... and as non-representative of reality.

I would bet that has been said many times through the last 2000 years, what do you think.
