Oh, and which god was he claiming to derive all morality from? The Christian one, right? and not anything to do with Shinto, Buddhist, Zoroastrian, Muslim or any other god or goddess that might be out there, eh? As those would be the wrong god(s)/goddesses, eh?
Oh, and the Mosaic Law also forbids shaving, wearing clothing of mixed fibers (sayonara to your favorite cotton-lycra-spandex socks!), working on the Sabbath, and so much more. DO let's pick and choose which laws we will obey, right?
Yes, morality has changed within our lifetimes -- look at perceptions of animal rights and moral standing. We've gone from "animals are property" to "animals have moral standing therefore legal protections".
I'd so join you in that class if only to verbally berate and beat up on your Moralistic Moron. ;-)
