I was siding with you. The sarcasm was mutual.
haters get confused lol
what about trying to make serious argumentation instead of showing that you are incapable of doing it by posting sarcasms
atheists are 25% of population, they can be good persons, what do you have to say about it ?

I was just being silly. I'm not going to seriously respond to the OP.
If I was going to address the OP, I would ask the OP if things that we believe are wrong now, like slavery, were wrong when most of society thought it was perfectly moral. Or child labor. Or Jim Crow. Etc. Etc.
If we are going to say that culture determines morality (cultural relativism), then slavery was okay, child labor was okay, and Jim Crow was okay, until it became unpopular with a majority of the population.
I would then comment that I go the opposite way with it, and think that morality is mostly personal and natural in individuals and that society is what largely compromises that morality. People don't typically go around systematically killing each other unless there is some sort of state involved in a war. Most people as individuals wouldn't think it is okay to kidnap another person, lock them in a cage for several years before executing them on a predetermined date so that they can sit in a cage and just count down the days in what amounts to psychological, emotional, and spiritual torture....rare is the individual so depraved that he or she would do that, yet our society is doing it and large scale diffusion of responsibility makes individuals feel disconnected to it.
Those are things I would say if this thread warranted a serious response.
you would not post here if you really think that, at least you starting something even if keeping being contemptuous
