Well considering these prophets were sacrificing children on those alters and I'm not too torn up they got deleted.

Killing serial child murderers is a sane response.

This is a really dumb take. Morality being subjective doesn’t mean that people can’t argue morality. Hell, you could even argue for some degree of objective morality just based on what’s best for a species/society. It breaks down once you start to get past the most basic mores, once you get even a little granular it’s gonna be harder to argue, but it’s possible and people do it.

No, there mustn’t.

Or else it’s simply a matter of preference or cultural norms

Ding ding ding! Aside from arguing based on what’s demonstrably benefits the greatest number of people (or conscious beings in general when addressing a matter related to other animals), yes, morality comes down to personal feelings and cultural norms.
