It is the lazy and non-thinking way to either use religion for an excuse or as a scapegoat. Both sides are playing the same game.

Think about this, the world is not the same as it was even 50 years ago, much less so than it was 200, 800, 2000 or 3000 years ago. The ideas developed then are no longer valid. The same holds true for philosophy, sociology and politics. It is a very different world. We either learn and grow with it or get swallowed up in it. The same old ideas aren't working. The dead horse has been beaten into a frothing, gelatinous mass.
