[Serious] Is the Past Real?

[LinuxGal]

Since there seems to be a debate whether presentism or eternalism is the case, would cruelty be wrong in a presentialist universe and acceptable in an eternalist universe, or vice versa, particularly when the inhabitants of each universe do not know the fundamental structure of their own reality?

Another set of questions where the tense may not be relevant, imo.  Wrong -at some time- but not at another implies that things aren't really wrong anyway.  That timing, rather than something about an act itself or the moral agent or the moral agents society, is the wrongmaker.  Unlikely to match our moral intuitions.

It's not, mind you, because I think we can't come up with examples where we might say a thing was good here and bad there (or neutral at some other point, a wash) but that I don't think that it's going to be the time, accurately and specifically, that we refer to for any difference.  More like changes in circumstance, which can happen with time, but don't always happen with time.

We are told the Ten Commandments are the bedrock foundation of morality, and indeed it's always wrong to steal, or to kill, but one of the commandments also says it is wrong to work on a certain day, but not wrong to work on other days, and it's hard to see the basis of that moral imperative if not simply divine whim.
