If it can change with time it can change with each and every individual all the time. The man that goes out and murders prostitutes can argue that is what his morality told him to do - and you can't prove he didn't get that from God.
Usually people argue a morality from God position as it is easier to make judgements on another's morality that way. Your inconsistent God makes that impossible.
Why on earth do you think I prefer 'enforcement'?
And I have already said, quite clearly, that talk of 'god's morality' just demonstrates a failure to grasp what is being said. I don't know what you mean when you talk of a 'god's morality'. Do you mean a god's moral beliefs? Or what? You're conceptually confused. Morality just 'is' a god's instructions and favourings. the god doesn't 'have' a morality, morality isn't something you 'have'. (Would you like anything with your coffee, sir? yes please, I'll have some morality with it if you've got any)
My view allows that what is right or wrong can alter over time. It does not entail that it has changed, just that it can. You seemed to think my view implied morality was fixed over time (and that this was a problem). I explained that it had no such implication and wondered why on earth you thought it did. You provided no answer. I explained that my view allows that right and wrong can alter over time, and now you consider THAT a problem. Odd. Seems you think morality is, and is not, fixed! More evidence that you're fundamentally confused.
But anyway, there is no problem if morality turns out to be fixed over time, and no problem if it isn't. My view allows that morality can alter over time. There is no problem here. No contradictions are generated. And it does not imply that if you sense that something is wrong that everyone else senses is right then it must be wrong for you and right for everyone else. If I sense that it is wrong for YOU to x and you sense that it is right for you to x we are disagreeing. It can't be right and wrong for you to x.
