Go learn what 'morality' means. It IS a subjective, and relative definition.
It simply means a 'virtuous behavior' or 'acceptable behavior in society'.

It could refer to a gang, an ant, a honeybee, a church member, a farming community, or even a set of gods. It could refer to a fictional story (examples: Lord of the Rings where it is 'moral' to destroy the One Ring; or Lord of the Flies, where the morals of each tribe are tested.)

Nothing here indicates a hate of Jesus Christ.
Nothing here indicates a rejection of the Golden Rule taught by Christ and God.

So you believe female genital mutilation, headhunting, human sacrifice are culturally relative and acceptable because certain societies practice them.

I'm not a cultural moral relativist like you are. I do not accept your claim that if it is accepted by a society then it must be moral.

That matters not at all. Law is law. I don't care about people's personal morality.

morality is not race centric either.

I notice you could not bring yourself to admit there is a universal standard tugging at your conscience telling you female genital mutilation and head hunting are categorically wrong.

Where is this "mutilation" taking place? And, why do you think it takes place?

But what of it? For example, should the US invade Nigeria because they are immoral?

What do you care if there is slavery, head hunting, female genital mutilation?

If morality is relative and subjective, it's up to social convention, opinion, cultural context to define acceptable behavior.

If you want to complain that slavery or female genital mutilation are bad things, then you're appealing to an objective universal standard that stands apart from opinion and cultural convention.
