So, if truth was said 2,000 years ago, it certainly can't apply today...interesting. If anything it is us that have changed our minds, and we continue to do so

  > So, if truth was said 2,000 years ago, it certainly can't apply today...interesting. It's interesting you automatically assume it's "truth", not random opinions. And yes, we, collectively as humanity, have evolved since two millennia. E.g. we no longer consider slavery normal. So using opinions from 2000 years ago that were made in a drastically different environment simply doesn't make sense. It's like using laws from the 1920s and applying them to Internet stuff. It just doesn't make sense, the writers couldn't have imagined the world we have today, so why is their opinion relevant?

    > It's interesting you automatically assume it's "truth" Well, not automatically. I confess my automatic response is to go with what is easy. It is certainly easier to believe there is no God like the Abrahamic God we must pay attention to, and like you say because things change we just can't trust that some things will never change... but my friend in response to the rest of your comment I've found easier isn't always the best way to think about things.

      It’s not easier, quite the opposite - “god” is essentially a psychological cheat code, convenient by making it possible to avoid thinking for oneself and instead shift responsibility of one’s conduct to mythology of choice.
