Why should Christians be moral?

[JonDarbyXIII]

I've read through the thread and all the Christians have been consistent in their explanations, the atheist have been all over the board. The atheist have said different thing about the same subject, the Christians responses have been the same on each subject. Seems to me, I've actually noticed this for sometime now, that the atheist have their own specific beliefs about scripture and they are always the using the same things over and over. Why do you all do this, why are you not consistent in what you say about the same subject. You all have more different ideas about what's in the Bible than the Christians here, heck you're doing what you claim Christians do, interpretation of scriptures for what you want it to say. I know most of you are not interested in learning what the scriptures mean but, with the intelligence you guys profess and the rational thinking you claim one would naturally believe you all would have the same things to say about the same subjects.

This isn't inconsistency. Atheists have different ideas about which failures of Christianity are most pronounced, but showing multiple ways in which it fails does not negate the fact that it fails. If x is the case, Christianity fails. If y is the case, Christianity fails. If z is the case, Christianity fails.
