Christianity and morals

Christianity and morals
Christians claim to get their morals from God and the bible. But they clearly pick and choose the good stuff from the bad in the bible. They like the part where jesus feeds the 5000 but overlook and ignore all the slavery, genocide, murders and rape. To choose as they do, from the bible, they would need an already existing and separate set of morals. Does this not prove that they don't get their morals from god?

I think I heard this argument somewhere on youtube but cannot remember who said it so I cannot give credit where it is due. Just wondered what Christians would say to this. And don't you dare say: God is so ingrained into society that we follow his morals without even knowing they are his morals. Because that is bullshit.
'The more I learn about people the more I like my dog'- Mark Twain

'You can have all the faith you want in spirits, and the afterlife, and heaven and hell, but when it comes to this world, don't be an idiot. Cause you can tell me you put your faith in God to put you through the day, but when it comes time to cross the road, I know you look both ways.' - Dr House

“Young earth creationism is essentially the position that all of modern science, 90% of living scientists and 98% of living biologists, all major university biology departments, every major science journal, the American Academy of Sciences, and every major science organization in the world, are all wrong regarding the origins and development of life….but one particular tribe of uneducated, bronze aged, goat herders got it exactly right.” - Chuck Easttom

"If my good friend Doctor Gasparri speaks badly of my mother, he can expect to get punched.....You cannot provoke. You cannot insult the faith of others. You cannot make fun of the faith of others. There is a limit." - Pope Francis on freedom of speech
