Greg, you are assuming that you and ALL of your attitudes are not only the pinnacle of ethincs and morality, but that society will never change again in such a way that disagrees with you. What arrogance, to claim moral superiority by virtue of one's own moral beliefs.

Personally, I too, believe that the human race is continuing to progress and behave in a better way than in the past. But if you and your attitudes were around 500 years ago, you would be condemned for aiding and abetting those Jewish murdering, blood-drinking, witches, who killed your savior. Because they KNEW how evil Jews were. To do otherwise was to betray God.

That's how silly black and white constructs of bad and good are. That kind of simplistic view of the world leaves no room for the idea that you might be wrong, too.
