Morality has always moved to wherever we need it to.

Morality is ever changing

I hope morality is a moving target, otherwise we would be stuck with the morality of the old testament i.e. We would be stoning people for breaking the sabbath for adultery, for growing two types of crops in one field, for worshiping idols.

Or we in the United States would still have slaves.

Or many years from now we would still be performing abortions on innocent babies.

Thank heaven we can improve on old outdated and wrong moralities of the past.

Choosing the Right

All of the quotes in this article give helpful advice as to how to identify when you have "crossed the line" and committed an immoral act. Unfortunately, then the damage is already done. Everyone may have their own general idea of right and wrong, but until we accept that God knows everything, and that he guides us with Prophets like Moses, Elijah, and Thomas S. Monson, we will be left to continually stumble and suffer the consequences of our foolish actions. Prophets point out dangers we don't see until it is too late.

With the sterling example of Slick Willie Clinton what else can we expect.

"He who....

is without sin, let him cast the first stone."

"He who..."

...quotes scripture to justify sin or immorality, does NOT understand the law, God's or man.
