I use a basic morality standard that we have adjusted to in modern society. The average person in modern society is more morally just than this creator that many worship. It is part of the issue with the bible - a book that contains holy words from a supposedly omniscient, all-powerful, perfectly moral god argues positions that are so vile and evil that you have to cherry pick. Thus, you have to come to the conclusion that either this god is not a moral god, and not a loving god, or he is evil. Or, a third option is that he doesn't exist to begin with.
The passage I refer to is Deuteronomy 22:20-21.
educate yourself
This law in Deuteronomy is directed against the truly wanton woman, who has given up her virginity, yet not claimed her rights under Exodus 22:16-17. She did not value her virginity at the time she gave it up, yet she wanted to claim the benefits of it by deceiving her husband.
to moral standard what you describe is just society creating there own that changes all the time and from place to place. the only real standard is God. without Him folks are just deciding what they like and what they dont at any time in history. Gods love is the only thing that is consistent and his Word is the only thing we can rely on to know what is actualy right and wrong.
