Morality is the bedtime story we tell our children in order to convince ourselves that the world truly is black and white. I submit to you that morality is as hollow as the "o" in God, and like such, is interpretated differently per individual as the definition behind God. What is right to someone is wrong to another. Wrong to someone is right to another.
This article, though highly informative and intriguing, makes me think merely that the changes in "morality" means only that it tampers with our basic personal opinions on what is and what isn't moral. A muslim can justify cutting the head off a child as if it is perfectly acceptable. To me, that is proof that it is Religion that alters our perception of the collective morality. The Golden Rules.
The magnet is only showing us what the religious have done for centuries. And the morals altered, are merely personal opinion in the first place. This isn't a great big white world, but grey.
That is just my input.
