You know, that law that you pretend is based on the Bible, when it's really a combination of PAGAN Germanic law and the PAGAN ROMAN legal code, which is still the basis for most western law today.

Where did you learn that? A humanistic revisionist university history lecture? Anyone who has researched our founders and where they got their ideas KNOWS that our ideas of law came through Hugo Grotius, Samuel de Puffendorf, William Blackstone and John Locke - ALL CHRISTIAN thinkers/writers/philosophers.

Tell me, why is Moses emblazoned all over our federal buildings? hmmm?

I don't know about that- every time I go into a California building, I see the great seal with Athena on it. The federal building I'm working at lacks any symbols other than the American Eagle (which does not have its antecedents in the Bible, but once again in Rome).

And are your really going to deny that Roman law is the foundation of every Western European civil code? Please tell, I'm interested in your answer.

Furthermore, if you stopped at those people, you'd be correct. However, guess where their ideas came from... you got it, the PAGANS again.
