I have to agree that all morality is relative to a particular time and culture. I would also agree that cultures have agreed to practice homosexuality at various times and places in world history, as they have many other things. "Natural criteria" (vs supernatural?) does not employ terms like sinful or wicked at all, does it? I am not sure what you mean by that statement. I take it to mean that you find no reason to find it unacceptable. I will read your response more thoroughly later to see what I can learn. We have a perfect day here so I am out of here.

The problem with "religious morality" is that it often lacks correspondence and relevance. I would think that as to religious morality, like your point regarding homosexuality, using natural criteria "whether or not it is normative is relative to time and place and culture." In its given day most aspects were relevant in ways that are not apparent to us today. There is much of value in all this to discuss so I will get back to it. MD
