Which is exactly why you never rely on the “morals of the majority”! In the1800s it was owning slaves, in the 1900s it was kill the Jews, gays, morons and / or anyone who opposed Socialism / Communism. Today it’s killing babies in the womb (although they possess all the qualities of life).
You believe that morality can be found within man.
In can’t because man is a flawed moral creature as history so amply demonstrates.
Funny how quickly arguments can appear to reverse when the situation changes. When national opinion was against ssm one of the frequent arguments used by those on the Right was "The majority is against same sex marriage." So the counter-argument was, naturally, along the lines of "Well, at one time it was acceptable to own slaves." So now national opinion favors ssm, and those in favor say, "See, now you can't use that argument anymore, the majority favors same sex marriage now." So those on the Right respond, "Well, at one time it was acceptable to own slaves."
Entertaining stuff.
