It's also curious that "we don't care for good and evil" or "we are not in the realm of right and wrong" are usually rolled out whenever someone is trying to say "Hey, that's wrong!"
It's a classic example of a thought-stopping cliche, and it's incredibly effective until you learn what it is and you realize how deformed you have to make the story in Genesis in order to squeeze this kind of lesson from it. It is a perfect non-answer. I mean, how are you supposed to respond to that kind of statement, besides, I guess, laughing in their face?
