An unanswerable question

[Lek]

So if you wouldn't "normally" act in such a way because the book tells you not to, yet your - and my - independent sense of morality would prevent us from acting in that way, that would mean that the pronouncements in the book are redundant; because you and I, believer and non, already come with these moral sensibilities inbuilt as standard. And since you take the bible as "his word", that leaves your god out in the cold.

The bible tells the way to salvation. It not just a book of morals. Also, we don't always follow our moral compass or we don't always have correct ideas of what is /is not moral.
