I think Christian values are the interpretation of the natural behaviour of humans and the conventions of the time and place. If our values were taken directly from the bible we would look down on people for things like emancipation and divorce, which in many cases serves a real purpose in modern society.
That's not to say that values aren't taken from Christianity though. A lot of modern society's values are in essence Christian, but I believe the Christian values are in turn based on nature and society's conventions/needs.
In a nutshell, I think Christian values act as a middle-man for human instinct.
