But everything IS relative - isn't it ? Your anchors and boundaries are set by your own conscience. Most people do not kill. Not because they'll go to jail, but because their conscience does not allow for it ? There's no law about lying, except under oath, but most of us hate lies anyway. And yet, killing and lying is justifiable in certain circumstances. So it is relative. Religions do innovate all the time. Most of what is considered mainstream and acceptable today, was considered immoral once upon a time. Just like any large, lazy, bureaucratic organization, organised religion just takes a longer time to incorporate changes in thoughts and values, than an individual would, thats all. Change is the basis of the universe. Anything that doesn't grow, has to die. Its a law of nature. Islam really hasn't changed much though......and look what a mess it is in.
