“For the greater good” is in fact moral relativism

Whenever Christians ask non-Christians where they get their morals from, their real aim is to claim that because Christians get their morals from “God”, i.e. their book of mythology, that it means their morals are superior because they do not change. But real world moral dilemmas are common, and their morals have changed wildly over the years.

For example, if giving birth to a baby could kill the mother, there is no ambiguity from them about who should live–it’s the fetus. Fuck the mother. Seems cruel? Don’t look at me, God said to do that.

And what about slavery? Racism? Polygamy? Child marriage? All were previously claimed to be part of dogma, until it no longer became possible to embrace them, and so Christians “adjusted” their view to fit modern sensibilities. How is that not moral relativism, and therefore, subjective? So you’re telling me polygamy was ok throughout Christian history until it became socially untenable, and then it became not ok? Someone please make it make sense.

Don’t let these people confuse you into believing they have a morality that is in any way superior because it is unchanging. It changes as easily as the wind direction.
