Can anyone name a single Christian moral teaching (moral meaning helpful for the wellbeing of individuals and society) that is not reasonably obvious to any well balanced atheist?
If you are a Christian and the answer is no, what does that tell you about the relevance of Christianity as a moral guide?
Ah, but you're over looking the deterrent effect of eternal torture. The Christian moral code way well be ubiquitous but there is something about following those rules blindly for the sake of a huge payoff that somehow tastes better to them and makes the rest of us nauseous.
