Beating the dead horse of the past is not a remedy for redemption. I believe Jim in CT is referring to present day Christianity.

And that reminds me of George Santayana's famous quote:
"Those who cannot remember the past are condemned to repeat it".
If one is willing to live life by the tenets set forth in a two thousand year old book, then they shouldn't conveniently ignore all of the events that occurred afterwards (as a direct result of said book). That goes for christianity, islam, judaism, etc, etc.
