During the times that Jesus supposedly lived, the 2 most horrific social ills were slavery and infanticide. Both were encouraged and practiced in Ancient Rome, when Jesus supposedly walked the streets.

And yet he said practically nothing about either one. How could the representative of a moral god have ignored such horrors? These are the standards that Christians want everyone to use.
