If you get to moral conclusions through Jesus, great. I see biblical reasoning behind immoral conclusions enough that I don't think the bible is a net positive in the world. Not anymore. I admire those of you who do get there through (or despite) Jesus, but it's funny that you're standing with atheists, against other Christians.

It maybe the metaphorical appearance as the word is variably interpreted ...

From my own experience, I think single-sourced morality of any kind carries that risk. Assuming morality based on what source someone uses is moreso. There are many thinkers and traditions out there. The more of them you engage with and try to understand, the more likely you are to find what is moral in them. But taking one source and going "this is right" without any real examination or thought is setting you up for problems, IMHO.

That could lead to variable binarism ... would the single-way folk get distraught? The great mystery came up with some gross steroids ...
 
If a true virtue ... will you soon be out of here dispatched by the brutal crowd ... all in mania?

That's the rabbit hole ...
