Who are we to declare the social morals and values by all of our previous generations to be 'wrong'?
So my grandparents held moral values which were 'immoral' were they??!
Pretty arrogant of us.
No you're grandparents morals weren't 'immoral'...just different, or appropriate for THEIR time...
What was 'appropriate' in their day isn't necessarily 'appropriate' now...
In your grandparents time.....smoking was appropriate ..do you think it's a social requirement NOW???
"Who are we to declare the social morals and values by all of our previous generations to be 'wrong'?"
Social morals change according to social values...
Or do you think it's still ok to lynch black men for talking to white women????
Or is it 'moral' to own black people....because they're 'sub-human'....
Is it 'moral' to burn people because they aren't christian????
ALL these things were MORAL at some point in history....
