Moral Relativism

Remember guys, the world is supposed to get better as time goes! :) Morality itself changes, too! Human sacrifice? Nah, that was totally cool for the Aztecs - I mean they were just ignorant, isolated jungle people, they didn't have access to... uh, whatever we have now? haha! SOMETHING must have eventually come along and made us realize that human sacrifice was wrong. What was it? What made us change our view on human sacrifice? I don't know lol! I'm really curious about that though, and I sure wish we could find an answer! It must have been something pretty significant, though! Boy, I guess we'll just never know! 
Also, the Aztecs were extremely ignorant, barbaric, backwards people, they even believed in like, religion and stuff - oh wait, they were like genius mathematicians and architects too lol woops

But anyway, that's all different now. NOW human sacrifice is wrong. Because humanity just PROGRESSES as time goes on! I can't wait until 2020, when we've become even MORE morally sound! I wonder what other things will arbitrarily become "right" because we're at a different point on the Gregorian calendar, and what other things will arbitrarily become "wrong" for the same reason! It sure gets confusing figuring out what happens to be "right" and "wrong" when I wake up each day, when humanity is just progressing and becoming better so often! Haha, boy, it's too bad there isn't some kind of "moral code" that's just encoded into the human heart, instituted by some kind of wise leader, that we could follow instead! Oh well. Until then, I guess we'll just have to keep taking our personal opinions or whatever our favorite celebrities / role models tell us, and just assuming that's right! 

By the way, you might be asking how we know we're getting better when "better" is defined by culture. Well, our culture reflects what our culture currently believes, lol, so obviously that means we're getting better! And when our culture decides something else is right, then our culture will be even BETTER because our culture will reflect what our culture currently believes at that point! Morality evolves with our opinions! How could a system like this possibly go wrong?!
