RE: Won't Change Anything

Comment comment by scottb on 18 April 2008

If only we had a stable, bounded, absolute truth we knew has never and will never change. But we live on Earth, right?

But this is exactly the problem. Many Muslims believe that they do have a "stable, bounded, absolute truth [that] has never and will never change". Many Christians believe the same nonsense about their scriptures. The belief is much less prevalent among Christians, though, perhaps because it's been long recognized that they've been changed quite a bit already. Muslims have had little exposure to the idea that their scriptures aren't "stable, bounded, absolute ... and will never change". This can help.
