Quotable distinction between morality and holiness

Found in a post by Proud Atheists that questions some brutal/sadistic behaviours promoted in the bible:

No.. You atheists have it wrong.

Christianity doesn’t teach morality. It teaches holiness.
Morality is simply a reflection of the social norms of your society. But the rules of holiness never change.

Nobody would argue that smashing a baby against a rock is a moral thing to do. But it is a HOLY thing to do, and will gain you favor in God’s eyes.

Holy shit.

That is all. I now return you to your regular scheduled reading of blogs.
