@Radames- I also completely agree. You don't need the Bible to live a good or moral life.That's why it written that God's laws are written on your heart. If society was doing something you felt was morally objectionable would you stand up or adapt your personal moral code? Depending on your answer (I'll assume not follow society) you are using your own conscience or heart. But how do you develop it further if you feel your personal morality is more moral than society? I personally feel that a stable base is better for growing than shifting societal ideals. Especially at the exponential rate shifts happen in the information age.
@HIZ - if society shifted and it was acceptable to chop of the hand of a thief would you still find that moral... oh wait...
Coming for a country that only used to allow you to have 1 child not too long ago, these are the effects of basing your personal morality on society.

"There ought to be a term that would designate those who actually follow the teachings of Jesus, since the word 'Christian' has been largely divorced from those teachings, and so polluted by fundamentalists that it has come to connote their polar opposite: intolerance, vindictive hatred, and bigotry." -- Philip Stater, Huffington Post
