Calling all moral relativists

So what you're saying is... there's no such thing as superior or inferior cultures... just unfamiliar customs & behaviour?

I've got just one question...

Tell me, in what alternate reality, is something like this ok?
When girls dedicated to Yellama reach puberty they are forced to sacrifice their virginity to an older man. What follows is a life of sexual slavery, they become sanctified prostitutes.

The money devadasis earn goes straight to their parents who often act as pimps for their daughters.
Don't get me started on female genital mutilation.
