Your murderer analogy is erroneous because you're not an inept site-maker talking about the world being round, you're an inept site-maker talking about how to make a good site.
That's what we call a fallacy, Firebird, because it assumes that religion is the source of all morality. Morality is a product of simple lessons of life and experiences accrued over time and beginning with childhood. If you were raised in the Middle East, you'd likely feel that subjugating women is a perfectly moral thing to do because that's how you'd have been raised, much like how you think it's perfectly OK to talk and pray to your imaginary friend because your deluded parents raised you to do so.

Right, like the actions of condemning homosexuals, shunning non-believers, wearing magic underwear, and suicide bombing to screw virgins. Religion sure is great. Clearly, giving your self a moral crutch and feeling warm and fuzzy inside are well worth the downsides of it.
I'm disappointed. I knew someone was going to use this scene for gay sex, but I was hoping it was going to be something to the effect of Xerxes hinting at why his troops *really* fear him.
