Does religion conform to society?

I am talking about Christianity. Over the history of the religion the views have changed pretty radically since the beginning. Now many Christians are less socially conservative. Many are more supportive of gay marriage and other social issues that were unheard of in past. The religious people say they have justifications for these positions but isn't it does just religion conforming to a more liberal society? The knowledge or the bible wasn't very difference in the past where these things were strongly condemned so it makes me believe that religion is just being forced to conform to society to stay alive. This should make people question whether their religious beliefs are valid or just determine by the zeitgeist.

  • Yeah, it does. I've definitely learned to conform to a more liberal society. I just feel that God understands that society changes, and I don't think that God is as harsh as people make him out to be. I think, that in order to really become a bad person, you must do something to hurt others willingly. Even if it is in some indirect way. It's not hard to be a good person in my opinion; sure it's not always easy to do the RIGHT THING in some situations, but it's not hard to be a good person.
