All these moral or social values are not exclusive to Christianity or any religion for that matter. Basically you're saying you believe you are living your life better than non-Christians, where in reality non-religious people more often than not share the exact same values. The restrictions aren't moral ones, but rather psychological ones.
i didn't say (or even imply) that those values are exclusive to Christianity. nor did i say that the Bible is the only place to find these morals. all i said was that the Bible places NO restrictions on my life, and cited some examples of moral teachings in the Bible that could (perhaps) be misconstrued as restrictions, when they are actually good examples of living that are inconsequential to our salvation.
