Are religions that preach inequality for women and gays, traitors to their country?

[BrianSoddingBoru4]

 
What would be the issue with that, and wouldn't changing our moral proclamations to accord with more and/or better information over time be a good thing?  

The issue I would have with that, is that our instincts are set for our best possible end by nature. To change them is to try to second guess nature.

We are natural animals. What change to our instincts would you suggest, given that they are set for our best end?

I appreciate your generalized thinking, but let's get specific.

Set and setting decide ALL moral values, both for individuals and whole societies. In various periods in China and Rome, for example, infanticide was often used without economic hardship being part of the equation (read Cicero’s letters). And yet today, no valid excuse exists for leaving your newborn at the local tip. Why? Because infanticide is no longer morally acceptable. Why? Because morals and moral values change.

?? Which moral value changed?

When did the morality that says we should not murder our children needlessly change in those you name happen?

Why did the practice die out if not a change in the set and setting?

The choice was having a productive member starve to death or the baby.

Which would you choose?

It was once morally acceptable to kill a newborn out of convenience. It no longer is.

This isn’t hard.
