It is absolutely arbitrary, as is your assertion that God is the immutable standard of morality.
Quote: Nope, Biblical morality is not defined as “anything Christians choose to do”.
Biblical morality has never been anything except "anything Christians choose to do". And, the Bible has enough in it to justify any example you want of killing your enemies in the name of God.
Quote:However, according to your atheistic morality the Holocaust was moral progress; how does that make you feel?
My 'atheistic morality' does not permit the harm of any human being for any reason other than a person being a clear and immediate danger to myself or someone else.
The Holocaust was the ultimate expression of centuries of Christian hebrewphobia, carried out by Christian men and justified by long-held Christian prejudices as much as by a perversion of science and not opposed by any major Christian church.
