They also deem what THEIR God says is moral and what is not. Muslims still think it's perfectly fine to bed down a 14 year old girl. We here in the States do not. Muslim, Christian, and Jewish Gods all permit the taking of a 14 year old girl as a wife. Yet our culture... sees it as immoral. Even though Yahweh himself impregnated a child. What is moral is decided upon by the social group at hand. This is why a rigid and archaic book like the Bible can never last. It's morality is ancient and much of it MUST be put aside in a modern society. We simply cannot stone our young women to death anymore just because they aren't virgins on their wedding night. This also puts Xtians in a bad spot because they have to defend how immoral their God is by modern standards. These religions have seen the beginning of their end. Every generation has a little less and less to do with them and I feel in 100 years or so they'll just be an oddity.
One would have thought 'god' would have the ablity to read or at the very least simply know what I have said here. Because I as a Christian am not defending God by 'modern standards.' I have taken moden standards and compared them to God's morality to show how far 'moden standards' have fallen, and will continue to fall. Not only that, but have shown examples of soceities in our past who avail themselves to all sorts of evil simply because they have discarded God's absolute standards for 'modern ones.'
If by modern standards, you mean where 4 billion people have deluded themselves into believing that some sort of sky daddy is watching over them, and interceding with their lives on their own behalf, yes you are right. Standards have definitely fallen.
As for your assertion that people who don't abide by your definition of your own delusional moral standards are somehow evil is simply a classic example of overestimating your own worth in the larger scheme of things.

"In short, Meyer has shown that his first disastrous book was not a fluke: he is capable of going into any field in which he has no training or research experience and botching it just as badly as he did molecular biology. As I've written before, if you are a complete amateur and don't understand a subject, don't demonstrate the Dunning-Kruger effect by writing a book about it and proving your ignorance to everyone else!
