I'm beginning to understand that Christian morality is not even intended to be an objective moral standard. It is just as contextual and relativistic as any other moral code (thou shall not kill unless I say when, where and who (everybody)). The one, single difference (other than the specific morals, of course) is that I don't pretend that mine counts for more than anyone else's because it has the endorsement of a silent and invisible god.
A truly objective set of morals would apply equally to the maker, and this is definitely not true of Christianity.
