Which of the two do you believe?
1) There is an objective Correct Set Of Beliefs, and we're closer to it now then ever before, hence you can judge people in the past.
2) There are no objectively correct beliefs, hence people in the past would be just as correct to say that you have nasty beliefs.
If #1, where do you get your objective set?
If #2, why do you make your statement?
I hope you don't take the inconsistent position many people do: say there's nothing objective when others judge you, but act as though there is when you judge others.
(Personally I believe there are objective truths, and each generation gets some things right and other things wrong. But that's a Christian view.)
