I think it's probably a bit late in the day for Christianity to overall have a positive effect on us hoomans. It'd be easy enough to construct religion that was, as I think Sam Harris has pointed out.
The point I really find confusing is how Wilson and other Christians who believe like him that morality is a reflection of the very nature of God, and that our sense of morality is in itself a reflection of that, don't find it odd that much of what he gets up to in the OT is so completely beyond anything that could be considered moral. How can they square that circle?
