Ah, but they were literate goat-herders. Unlike the goat-herders (goat ropers? stump breakers?) of today, they may have been sincere too.

Are you trying to refer to the Bible? Even the most liberal scholars date it more than a hundred years before the fifth century. And I always regarded goat herding as a very respectable trade. It's right up there with congressman.

Some aspects of human culture may have endured, but it seems silly to me to use such outdated material as an instruction manual for life. The world is very different and demands different lifestyles. You wouldn't let a surgeon operate on you using a book written by Hippocrates as a guide, would you?

In a way it has changed. However, people have done amazing things by following the teachings of Jesus. Mother Teresa, Martin Luther King Jr., even Gandhi a hindu thought these teachings were relevant.

Foxtrot, the fifth century was 1500 years ago, not 500.

the world has changed but people are still as gullible as ever

Technologically? Yes. Morally? No (if it had, then atheists and other skeptics couldn't use their sense of morality to judge what people did back then as wrong). And it's moral cues, not social cues.

Education can make you smart, but it doesn't make you wise.
There are more people listening to the goat herders today than ever before.
'And Jesus said to His disciples, "Truly I say to you, it is hard for a rich man to enter the Kingdom of Heaven. And again I say to you, it is easier for a camel to go through the eye of a needle than for a rich man to enter the Kingdom of God."
And when the disciples heard this they were very astonished and said: "Who then can be saved?"
And looking upon them Jesus said: "With men this is impossible, but with God all things are possible."
Must be something in it.

As long as people believe that there is an omnipotent bogeyman, there's no hope.
