What Would You Substitute for the Bible as a Moral Guide?

You have points manjalvaanam,but I would like,for the benefit of our christian brothers,to check the entire contents of the bible if it really justify their claim. Let's start with the old testament: The book of Genesis has nothing about morality. There is not a line in it calculated to shed light on the path of conduct.No one can call that book a moral guide. It is made up of myth and miracle,of tradition and legend. In Exodus we have an account of the manner in which Jehovah delivered the Jews from Egyptian bondage. We now know that the Jews were never enslaved by the Egyptians; that the entire story is a fiction. We know this, because there is not found in Hebrew a word of Egyptian origin, and there is not found in the language of the Egyptians a word of Hebrew origin. This being so, we know that the the Hebrews and Egyptians could not have lived together for hundreds of years. Certainly Exodus was not written to teach morality. In that book you cannot find one word against human slavery. As a matter of fact,Jehovah was a believer in that institution. The killing of cattle with disease and hail,the murder of the first-born, so that in every the murder of the first-born, so that in every let the Hebrews go, certainly was not moral;it was fiendish. The writer of that book regarded all the people of Egypt, their children, all the people of Egypt, their children, of Pharaoh, and these people and these cattle were killed, not because they had done anything wrong, but simply for the purpose of punishing the king. Is it possible to get any morality out of this history?
