I have had a lot of discussions with people who uphold the primacy of morals. I really think Morals are subjective listings of things that a bunch of people believe in “a” space and “a” time. They change in time and in space. What to Mr. X is Moral, to Mr. Y is blasphemous and vice versa. Similarly, what to a South African was moral in 1950 became immoral in 2000!
