Every society is in a different state of evolution. Not sure that the claiming of superiority is a useful thing.
I am not a Mormon and cannot bring myself to pray for the baptism and absolution of my ancestor's sins.

We live now. We can never live at any other time. History is interesting and often instructive but not definitive for current behavior.

If we want to do some sort of historical comparison that's fine. But that's not what's going on in this thread. So start a thread so we can compare historical trends between cultures. Sounds interesting.
