Christian morality is horrible. It's just that civilised christians cherry pick it.
The OT stands. Christians are very welcome to throw it away if they want, I'm not going to argue. Yet they want to keep the slavery endorsement and the punishment for girls being raped. And stoning children to death. Why, again?
At very best, the OT is evidence that God WAS a monster of the highest order, does change his mind, is capable of huge evil and is a liar. Even if he's now all good, I would have thought the above warnings, in his own book, written by him, would be enough of a concern as to his "morality".
Would you follow a reformed serial killer?
