What IS good, and how do we determine it?

[abaris]

I do not believe morality is one of them.

But morality does change. People back then, at Judea, found it perfectly all right and moral to stone people to death for extramarital sex. They also held slaves and felt morally justified in doing so. The irony even goes further, since in the 19th century, when the slave issue became virulent, both slave owners and abolishionists took their arguments from the bible.

Morality is always changing and hopefully to a more enlightened state than what was all right and considered moral 2000 years ago. If we as a society would still follow the moral code of these people, we would have a pretty dark time.
