Cultual Lag

I have talked of cultural lag in a previous blog.
This refers to the phenomenon of the culture of a society "lagging behind" the reality of life as lived by that society.

There are so many examples of this.
But what could be a more clear example than religious texts
written hundreds of years ago?
Anyone reasonable would have to accept that at least there should
be a layer of interpretation between then and now....
