You may disagree with them, but I'm not buying the logical fallacy that just because an idea is old, it must be obsolete.

Why not list the 18th century ideas you disagree with and argue based on merit, or lack thereof.

Well some ideas that are old are irrelevant to our current situation while are others are always good rules. If God had a top ten list of most hated sins that would be the Ten Commandments. Funny, He never mentions homosexuality in that list. Why don't we make adultery, lying, not honoring your parents, etc. illegal? I mean clearly those are more important and how you got into God's good graces. Why not make God's priorities your own vs. what you personally think is a big deal. He is all knowing and would have put that in the big ten had it mattered the most to Him, but clearly it did not.

If this is an accurate depiction, I guess we'll never know what were the other five.
