Quote:You're so far out of context here it's not even funny. What on earth does the above have to do with the your statement that we can't judge the morality of past cultures? Because we're also flawed? Well, duh. No shit, Sherlock.
The guilty have no right to judge the guilty.
So, continuing to move the goalposts away from your original statement and answering in platitudes. Gotcha.

Quote:...is utter bullshit. "hasn't improved" - something tells me you don't know what one of those words means. I'd agree that we haven't improved *enough* but that's a far cry from not having improved *at all*.
Yes, we've made some progress with women rights, however the sex slave trade today is worse and more numerous than the slave trade that existed in the U.S. from the 1700's through the 1800's. Many women are treated horrible by men in this day and time, it's shameful it took an NFL player knocking out his girl friend to bring a greater attention to this. All what I have said has little to do with Christianity, just mean people who care more about themselves and money than they do about others. Two of the greater sins according to scripture. If you think I'm wrong ask a battered woman what she thinks.

I don't deny that there remains horrible treatment of women. If you got that from anything I said, you have a severe reading comprehension problem.
You said "mankind hasn't improved on women's issues". Despite it's shortcomings in this regard, in modern western culture, we no longer treat women as chattel. Hell, it's improved visibly *in my lifetime*, not to mention in the since the bronze age.
You're talking out of your ass.
