| First, of the ten commandments only 5 have anything to do with morals. One "honor your father and mother" is not a moral point but one of familial subservience. The other 4 deal with dogmatic Christian religious duties which have nothing to do with morality.
Second, people are no different today morally, based on the historical record, than they were 5,000 years ago. Read Homer. Observe George Bush.
Third, Christianity, Jesus dying for our sins, etc, had no effect on the level of human morality. This is perhaps Jesus's and God's greatest failure. Imagine abandoning your son to a horrific death, on one of the most heinous torture devices ever conceived my man for no good reason and no net benefit.
