I can't decide, I can't decide.
I'm going into a tailspin. This one will have to go to a vote.

Pretty much. "Morality" is a social concept.
*Looks at thumbs-downs* I see a couple of people don't like that idea. You know, in certain indigenous African societies it's considered immoral not to eat your dead loved ones. Here it's considered deplorable to eat your dead loved ones. I think my point is clearly correct.

Definitely not. I believe that gravity doesn't exist and therefore I can fly. I could probably convince a bunch of people to believe and dive off a cliff with me but in the end we would still die no matter how much we believe that gravity does not exist because reality is, it does exist. Just like God exists whether you choose to acknowledge Him or not. Just like God made the world and made morality. Doesn't that mean that He gets to decide what's moral and what isn't? I think so. Read His book and you will then know what is moral and what is not no matter what humankind says.

No, wrong and right interpreted into words that don't fully cover the caliber of the power of these words, We all have feelings and we should learn to use them and express by means greater than words, something thats popular by demand or is accepted by the masses dosn't make it right or wrong, how whatever it is makes you feel dosn't neccisarily make it right or wrong either choice is ultimately yours and if your morals conflict with your feelings then..... I dont know which 1 would you support. What you believe in should be apart of how you feel.

Acceptable to who? Morality must bear a code if there is no code to follow then there is no right or wrong! Therefore determine the code of your morality and that will tell you what is acceptable, not public opinion.

Widely accepted: parents who smoke in an enclosed vehicle with their young children. Not moral.
Widely accepted: men who don't take care of their children. Not moral.
Widely accepted: women who marry men for their money.
Not moral.
Hope this helps distinguish that just because it is acceptable, it doesn't make it moral.

Morals deal with right and wrong. Unchanging truth. Morals don't beome acceptable over time. They "are", regardless of trend or popularity.

No.
This will keep becoming more of a problem the closer we get to the second coming of Jesus.
The world will call for compromise of God's Commandments.
In doing so, those who compromise will be accepting the mark of the beast. They may not even realize they are doing it. The Bible says that "even the very elect will be decieved, if possible."

It does not follow that because something is seen as being acceptable that it is therefore moral.
Cheers :-)

no. in some countries stealing is widely acceptable, but that may be because that's the status quo for poorer countries
