>>Without Christ, there is no morality.
That's absurd
Is it?<<


Yes, it is absurd.
Unless you define morality in relation to Christ, in which case your assertion is just a tautology.

With any reasonable view of morality, you only need to look at many of the non-christian religions to find morality without Christ. In fact, you'll find that Jesus was an immoral hypocrite himself. He taught non-anger, yet became angry. He taught not to call a person a fool, yet did it himself. He taught to honor your father and mother, then was contemptous of his own mother. Jesus lied to his brothers about going to the feast of the Tabernacles. He lied to the high priest, saying that he never taught secretly. And these are only the examples that we found out about from people who loved him! This man is hardly one to base morality on.
