Is the stoning of gays universally morally right or not?

So you subscribe to morals that change depending on the "point in time"?

So if someone gets angry because they were deceived by a lie is a wrong response? What would be a more logical response?

Surely some few are born with sociopathic tendencies...an innate lack of ability to bond with and care about other people?

I heard one story of a guy who got in a car wreck. Part of the brain got scraped on a jagged bit of the skull, and he lost his ability to care about others. Perhaps some are born this way due to birth defects?
Very interesting point! A brain physically or chemically damaged can easily become faulty, but these examples belong in a separate category and an entirely different topic.

I'm talking about undamaged brains freshly born to physically healthy children.

Faults, damage, this is what drives changes into the genome.

i think it is a normal meme that genius and insanity are linked.

A reminder for those who can't follow a thread.

*Obviously increased intelligence doesn't guarantee a good moral outlook.
Okay. So what next? You are right, we know this (intelligence does not depend on morality nor vice-versa).

Next we examine the hypothesis that intelligence increases the likelihood of a good moral character. (If not degraded by negative life experiences or trauma).

Nothing can be added or removed from the Bible, so no I doubt they will change.

Yes that is the wrong response.

Forgiveness is the proper response.

Why not? It's been happening for years.

Unlike this point in time, then, was the stoning of gays universally morally right at a point in time in the past?
