You're not this stupid. The response we have to something, of course, depends on the circumstances.

Bunk. Situational ethics is the secular garbage of the 60s that is largely responsible for the mess the US is in now. Christ didn't teach situational ethics. He taught "it is written" and "i am the same yesterday, today and forever" Sin today was sin yesterday and will be sin tomorrow. The situation has nothing to do with the definition of sin. If you murder someone it's still murder, regardless of the handwringing you go through to try and explain it away.

Of course it does. If I kill a man in self-defense it's different from killing in cold blood. Though in both cases the same weapon would be used in the same way and with the same result.

You set yourself up as the highest authority to pass judgment on those in the past that don't meet up to your superior standards. It's a bit puffed-up of you. Why not thank God that you have the benefit of a civilization that has given you better values? Why not ask God to have mercy on these, instead of condemning them?
