Moral standards can be categorized as subjective (individual decisions), collective (group decisions), or objective (external standards); since collective groups have historically chosen immoral options like slavery, and different religions claim different objective standards, the highest moral standard can be determined by comparing the moral teachings of religious heroes, with Jesus's teachings of treating others as you want to be treated and loving your neighbor as yourself representing the highest moral objective standard.

How do we determine right and wrong?
Like this is a simple question because there's only a couple options. It's either subjective, it's collective, or it's objective. Subjective means we decide for ourselves. Well, that's never going to be good. The majority of the world up until like a hundred years ago thought that slavery was acceptable. The majority of the world, there was never a nation that didn't have slavery. So if we say well just collectively we can point out that consistently collective groups choose things that are immoral.
Well, if it can't be subjective, it's not collective. The only other option is there has to be an objective standard we point to. Well, you could then argue, well, there's more than one objective standard because like the Jews have the Torah, the Christians have the Bible, that the Muslims have the Quran. And people might argue there's different objective standards. And then what I would say is okay to make it easy if we're going to say we need a the best the highest moral objective standard instead of analyzing all the textual documents I would say let's just compare the heroes of those religions and this shouldn't be all that complicated because by the way fair if you go back to the Torah those are some of our biblical heroes however we can point out Abraham had some major flaws Moses major flaws David major flaws you go to Islam and they You have Muhammad who believed that you should kill your enemies. You should enslave them. You can have multiple brides and child brides. Like go down the list. And then you have Jesus who said you should treat other people the way you want to be treated. Love your neighbor as yourself.
And the reason I point this out is for people that say, "No, we we shouldn't have Christianity or we shouldn't have the Bible. We shouldn't have ten Commandments in public school." Okay.
So, what other options are there?
Because you're always going to have a standard of morality. And if we're saying Jesus is the highest standard of morality ever given, even if you don't believe he's savior, you should. But even if you're like, I'm not sure, but he's a great moral teacher. His moral teachings would help you live a better and more free
