If he handed out different laws, by your own definition of faith, they would have fallen to their knees and kissed his ass.It's your opinion that said procedures are disgusting. You act as if your position is the objectively provable correct one. It isn't.
As I said, I'm perfectly aware of the times and the cultures. But it's no mitigating factor for a supposed higher, timeless and omniscient being to hand out disgusting procedures. And the doubling down factor of the disgusting is the fact that christian leaders still cry at the top of their lungs for women to know their place. So, good job, little if anything learned in 3000 years.
It's better than what's in the bible. That's been the point all along. I am quite positive that in the future, people will look at us in the same way we look at people in the past. They won't really be any better than us, with their flaws, but they will likely be more enlightened.
This is a big case for the idea that morality is subjective. It is up to the opinions of different people and cultures. Right and wrong is better defined by objective means, liek the fact that you shouldn't treat people as lesser because of skin color or sexual organs.
