I think that you can't really look at religions as "regressive" when much of what their founders were railing against is mirrored in modern society. Jesus was basically setting himself against a culture which valued money and material possesions and glorified sex and violence.

That could just as easily describe Western culture today.
This might be one of the best Christian arguments I have seen in my life.




Rhy, Philips, I will answer you as soon as I have the time to do it properly :)
