No, Cath, jesus didn't come back and "debunk" anything...what you believe jesus did has nothing to do with debunking something, that's not what that word means. The subjective morality of the judeo-christian belief structure simply changed as it's adherents changed, over time, as it -demonstrably- does with all of us, everywhere, in everytime. It doesn't actually matter if jesus did come back, and this is the -moment- when that subjective morality changed (which, btw, is in no way a factually accurate summary of the scenario, there was a sect moving from judaism towards what we now know as christianity before there was ever -any- christ, either as a being or as a story)......jesus simply communicated the -new- morality. The old morality was still morality, still moral, when those previous adherents held to it.
You and I (and apparently, Jesus) simply don't -agree- with that old morality. Except, of course, when you do...as when you opine upon the moral status of homosexuality, and contraception.
