>You're missing a big piece of history. In the days of the Old Testament, God had laws, called the Law of Moses. When Jesus came, he repealed the Law of Moses. So, saying that you don't have to eat fish on Friday is not new. Also, not eating meat was not a Christian belief, it was a Catholic belief. Again, views of other Christian churches are different.
I believe that God, on the one hand, has the right to change His laws (of course He has!), and also, that the laws are, indeed, changed depending on requirements of the times. This has been so in the past, and it will continue in the future.
Now, what mankind does with the divinely ordained laws, is often quite a different issue...

Difference in opinions hath cost many millions of lives: for instance, whether flesh be bread, or bread be flesh; whether whistling be a vice or a virtue; whether it be better to kiss a post, or throw it into the fire... (from Gulliver's Travels)
