Looking at the past, I don't see morality as static. It continues to evolve, like everything else.
Is it morality that evolves, or human action/understanding?

Can we even claim that our morality and ideas of what is right and wrong have even progressed at all as a species? I think that a study of history shows this to not be true.

The difference is whether what is actually right changes over time, or just what humans do. I tend to think our opinions and theories change, but morality remains consistent.

Guess I'd call myself a moral relativist. Descriptive relativism, I suppose.
Although, I think the question was just: what religion are you? I wasn't aware morality was part of the question at all lol

Not in the OP, but we have been discussing side tangents that are related.
