That nonsense is tired and very very old! Just because humans formulate moral guidelines (and corresponding laws and regulations) based on Reason and experience and Human Nature--it does not mean that every culture has the same Reasoning and Experience...or must reach the same conclusions without any deviation! Hell, every State in the U.S. has chosen myriad different moral standards on issues such as abortion, capital punishment, marriage, etc., etc., and etc.! It is obvious to any thinking person that morals are man made and that misguided ethics such as the support of slavery and the subjugation of women can be overcome with Reason and Experience.

Where on your list of moral relativism does it relate to present day occupations of prophets? You of course recall your racist attack and subsequent denial it was not a racial stereotype and Brumar's support of the idea even though the prophet's trade was clearly that of a journeyman carpenter.

Jury begins deliberations in landmark Philadelphia priest sex-abuse trial philly.com Brennan, 48, is charged with the attempted rape of a 14-year-old boy in 1996 while the teen — Brennan was friends with the boy’s parents — spent the night at the priest’s West Chester apartment. Prosecutors have argued that Lynn moved accused priests around to different parishes, enabling them to prey upon other children. Lynn, who testified in his own defense, denied the allegations and said his actions were limited by his official role; he said only Cardinal Anthony J. Bevilacqua had the power to remove or transfer priests.
