Discussion about morals

RE: Discussion about morals

Are you suggesting that genocide, therfore, can be morally acceptable depending on ones point of view (the killer as compared to the killed)?

Slavery was considered pretty damn moral to the ones who were owning the slaves.

Morality is not "easy". The human race itself has worked extremely hard to develop the morals we currently accept. This is obvious when you look at the moral standards of the past and where we are now. (P.S. The Bible loves genocide)
