As time goes by

[Darwinian]

We all know that Christianity was created about 2000 years ago as an underground movement and in response to the current zeitgeist, i.e. Roman occupation and oppression. At the time it was very relevant and taught its followers a certain philosophy that helped them deal specifically with the lifestyle they found themselves leading.

However, as the centuries have gone by it has had to subtly change to accommodate different attitudes and lifestyles and now, in my opinion, finds itself stuck in the middle ages, with the morals and views of that time.

This is why the views of people like i_fight_for_Jesus_Christ and the_truth seem so anachronistic to our 21st century minds. A few hundred years ago they would have been the norm.

Question is, is Christianity like an aging relative who is getting left further and further behind as the human family marches ever forwards, doomed to become a more and more distant voice until finally inaudible or will it have to constantly reinvent itself just to keep up and by doing so move further and further away from its original meaning until it becomes unrecognisable to a Christian of those early days?
