My point about the flat earth was why cling to the status quo simply for the sake of staving off uncomfortable change? We live in a post-Roe v. Wade America, but I would guess you wouldn't cling to the status quo on that issue. Am I right?

Societal changes may not be as perceptible as seeing the earth from the moon, but societies, cultures, and common ways of thinking do change. They are changing. You can choose to be anachronistic if that suits your personality. You can deny the changing world around you and fight it if you choose, but that only leaves you standing still while the world moves on without you, making you more and more irrelevant.

Yes, they do. But the fundamental laws of the universe do not. I believe the moral law is a fundamental law of the universe. And when societies change to veer away from the moral law, they die.

Humanity has not really changed in 6,000 years, and it is not changing now. There is nothing new under the sun. You are confusing "being anachronistic" with "sticking with what works." I recognize our society is changing - I just don't recognize it changing for the better. It is changing for the worse, and I will fight against that as much as I can. I may not win, but that's not the important part.

Homoerotic behavior is wrong. It always has been and always will be. The tyrrany of the majority has no power to change that. It does have the power to destroy itself trying.

Shalom.
