To: I got the rope

Your logic is short-circuited. The bible is a well-reasoned commentary that many agree came from God's own hand. Our laws sometimes agree with the bible. That doesn't make our laws bibilcal. It makes them resonate with bibilical teaching. To make our laws comply with bibilical teaching would require a theocracy, and a doomed attempt to build a heavenly kingdom on earth. We are better of explaining ourselves and persuading each other why laws are good and have merit using the tools of reason and logic than we are in applying a biblical template. Our founding fathers understood that few would be able to agree on dogmatic templates anyway. Europe's history proved that!
