Why the Religious Right is Stupid

I'm jewish, and while I am pretty strict when it comes to my religion, I do not make my political descisions based on what a book that was written over 5000 years ago says, or what some scholar thinks. I make up my own mind by using my own sence of morality, and right and wrong.

on that note. the thing about morality is it changes with time.
What we think is 'moral' wasnt moral before and will even change in time.
For ex: about 60 years ago women couldnt wear shorts, now they can walk around butt-*** naked.
also, homosexuality was common hundreds of years ago (ie old greeks) then it was unacceptable, now its acceptable.

Morality changes with social acceptance. So what is really "right" or "wrong". Where do we find out what is right and wrong? Just something i was pondering on...

yeah but no one has to hold those morals as their own.
