A few things:
You state that we have a better understanding of god. Why? Not why do you think we have a better understanding of God, but what is it that caused us to have a better understanding? The church still gets many things about morality wrong. If Morals are objective, then morals never change. Why would today's church have better understanding than the church of yesterday?
And if they had a flawed understanding of god, then why trust anything they say? For example you're okay with considering homosexual sex 'immoral' because it's 'unnatural' (that's unfounded, but whatever). But you believe slavery is immoral because of God, despite God never saying any such thing.
Finally, how does one misinterpret God saying "Slavery is bad" to "Slavery is not bad!"

The whole tone of Church teaching in regard to woman is, to the last degree, contemptuous and degrading. - Elizabeth Cady Stanton
