Styer did a better job responding to this but..... Just because there are feelings of guilt does not mean that they are not misplaced or just wrong all together. Some societies have never progressed and very likely wont because of their culture. This is not to say that they cant, just likely wont. This does not mean that we should flush ours down because they are not close to our level.
