Is christian morality superior to secular morality? Why? [Spirituality & Religion]

It seems to me that christian morality ultimately falls back on what god wants, whether or not that is for the well being of humans, while secular morality is based upon what is the in interest of a human's well being.

It seems to me that human well being should be in the better interest of human well being than what a god demands of us for his purposes.

ah you will get a lot of mileage out of this one!

I'm with you tho, and extend it to the benefit of many/most people, not just me

I might. That's certainly my aim lol.
Agreed, well being needs to extend to the population and not just the individual.

@Pikachu and most God centric religious morality, are focused on obedience to that authority as well as the health of That Organism
( the religion), and not the benefit of Humans or humanity

some will say..

but it IS to the Benefit of all so they can live forever in heaven
sounds a con game to me.

Agreed. The theist morality seems to center on what a god wants rather than what is demonstrably good for humans.
