    it is a retrospective on some beliefs belonging to several major religions that have been changed.

    christianity starts with challenging much of what was before it, yet many believe it is among the most inflexible religions.

    why are we incapable (muslims, jews, etc as well) to adjust our beliefs with the passing of time and the always changing world?

    "People often think religion is easy," says Armstrong. "In fact it requires a great deal of intellectual, spiritual and imaginative effort. It's a struggle that never ceases."

    It is because religions rely on holy books for truth.

    that is not a valid reason as we HAVE in fact changed while still relying on holy books. christians and jews do not stone people even though it is in their holy books.

    there are a lot of things in these holy books that we ignore, yet we hold insignificant garbage as essential

    Since God does not change, man must change religious practices to conform to God's will. For Jesus instructed us to pray, "May God's will be done on earth as it is in heaven."

    god changes all the time.

    he made creation, then destroyed it.
    he took care of job, then left him at the mercy of the other guy
    he sent jesus to change everything he had set before.


    the world changes, we must change with it. its called evolution.
