[I]Interesting. You appear to believe in a moral standard that exisits for all time. A very Christian viewpoint but one which is not supported evidentially, even if one looks at Christian history. Morals are subjective. Legislation objective. In cases such as racism, legislation has helped to change popular morality.*

*Racism's not really the best eg is it? 1) its not illegal; and 2) I'd dispute this idea that everyone was a predudice before the law said we couldn't be. *
If you want a better eg - drink driving. And that's still not really changing a moral stance, more like a social one.
*For the most part the law and our politics is a social barrometer. *
