I think it's fair to say that the general movement of modern western culture has been for the better? How have the morals you learn from the bible evolved?

We discovered fire in the stone age. how has The fire itself evolved? why not? Because it is a constant rather than a variable. we can change how we fuel and ignite the fire, but the chemical change that we identify as fire has not changed.
with that in mind, I am asking you point blank, what in your system of morality remains a constant?
If you have no constants and everything you believe about morality is contingent on how society defines it, then what separates you from those in whom you currently deem evil? In other words if you were born in another society who up holds what this society deems as an evil act, as being moral or good, what would keep you from being apart of or blindly following that evil society and partaking in their evil acts they deem 'good?'
Still with me?
Now Im asking (if you can admit that nothing is keeping you from the evil pop morality allows) How do you know that what has evolved in western pop morality is not evil?
