The subtext of this kind of says it all. Living your life by a 2000 year old standard (okay, the gospels were scribed ~400 years after that) is kind of ridiculous. It is hard to believe in something that demands you maintain a standard that modern society makes obsolete. It makes maintaining faith in something that conflicts with the very common things that bring us together (shared values and experiences) extremely difficult.
Jesus. No, they weren’t. The four canonical Gospels were all written before 100 C.E.
