could christianity be part of the problem they claim there is with morality?
when gods chosen people:
Noah was drunkard
David was an adulterer
Samson a killer
Lot committed incest with his daughters
is this the kind of stuff they teach, that the great people in the bible held these kind of morals...? i wanna be great in gods eyes so i should go be like them...?

Christianity teaches the no one is perfect. No matter how hard you try, you will eventually screw up. I have not heard anything about Noah being drunk but I like the story of David. There were several things that David did which God did not approve of one being adultery and murder, but one also involved a census which David did not conduct the way God wanted.
Samson allowed his love for a woman to led him away from God. That was his sin. The people he killed were enemies of God.
Lot's daughters got him drunk and tricked him into having sex with him. Though in other respects Lot is not really used as an example as the others you mentioned are.
Showing the flaws of these people teaches us that everyone makes mistakes and everyone can be forgiven. Christianity does not require you to be sinless, it requires you to be repentant. All these men expressed regret for what they did.
