We have to adapt with the times. But we don't have to give up those principles...they play an enormous role in the direction our society evolves.

You are right for a snap shot in time, but realize, that at one point in history, basic principles of integrity, morality, and basic right-vs-wrong was very different, so along came the New Testament. That new document changed the playing field a great deal. Now, it is time to change that playing field again. Move into the 21 century and update those: basic principles of integrity, morality, and basic right-vs-wrong. I mean, if you wish to go back to the good old days or even back to the old testament ways and rules, their is a religion right now that would allow you to do that and it is called radical Islam. When Christianity modified the bible, the Muslims said hell no and to this day claim basic principles of integrity, morality, and basic right-vs-wrong should not be changed and they have stuck to their principles but I for one do not feel they are applicable today. But, if I did wish to go back to the good ole days, I would say Why not back to the first written word.
