What if the Pope wakes up one morning and decrees that all true believers should forthwith wear a fez to bed? That, to me, makes just as much sense as changing the rules every so often to become more "accepting and inclusive".

God, assuming he's anything like the Bible says, has not changed. So why is it all right for humans to change their general agreement on what's acceptable to him?
