Just because it was socially acceptable does not make it morally acceptable. When women's rights were established, that does not mean it only just then became immoral for women to have inequal rights, it was always immoral, however we simply decided to change it at that moment, realizing this fact.
You're a moron if you think that a different time period can excuse decades upon decades of organized slavery conducted by your own holy book. I guarantee you wouldn't extend that same reasoning to anyone from another religion killing someone of yours during the same time period for a reason of going against the opposition's religious text, simply because it was socially acceptable to put someone to death for that type of thing. Same principle.

Which is better:
To die with ignorance, or to live with intelligence?
Truth doesn't accommodate to personal opinions.
The choice is yours.

The more questions you ask, the more you realize that disagreement is inevitable, and communication of this disagreement, irrelevant.
