3. Hi MineralMan - You make a very good point.

As times and circumstances change, certain beliefs that we hold dear many no longer be valid.

But as someone who considers themselves to be a Christian, I hope that my core beliefs will continue to hold some value:

Love and respect for others

Care for the poor, the hungry, the suffering, the lonely, or anyone in need

That being said, I also fully realize that such beliefs are not exclusive to Christians or to followers of any religion.

Anyway, just my thoughts on this - thank you for posting!

Wishing you well and peace.

Tim
