Very few people treat morality this way. Many people, if asked, will say that it's moral to follow the bible's teachings, and yet do not stone women to death for wearing pants or men for wearing skirts. Clearly they are following some sort of internal system by which there are different concerns balanced against each other in their moral decisions.
