why would we even question people trying to change based on new information? Going from what grandma told me to what we see today? You guys actually find that bad? It is bad to change over time?

Fitting what "you think" to what is going on around you is bad?

Yeah. I noticed that, too.

Yes, I found that out personally. He doesn't seem like a very nice person -- or a real atheist. I'm not going to waste any more time responding to him.

I'd like to offer you up as one of those fruits by which christian faith can be measured. Wink

More like content is peppered amongst his insultes.
