I never claimed you could be educated by me or anyone else, I feel you have an unteachable spirit. As for Common Law, it is based on Ten Commandments, and you obviously have no idea where they came from....that has been proven by your confusing drivel. I am NOT impressed, and I am sure noone else is either! Have a nice day!

"I feel"? That is the kind of statement a left-wing liberal would make. I am eminently teachable, but you haven't even tried to support your case.

As for Common Law, it is based on Ten Commandments, and you obviously have no idea where they came from....

Then explain this one thing for me: Why does every source on the origins of Common Law in the British Isles have it predating the arrival of Christianity by hundreds or thousands of years? When the first real Christian missionaries first came to the British isles only hundreds of years after the death of Christ, they not only documented that the Common Law system of that land was ancient, but that there was nothing resembling a Judeo-Christian belief system there, only various odd pagan religions indigenous to that region.

If I'm going to believe your claim, you need to explain why every record, both from Christian and non-Christian sources, state that the Common Law predates the Judeo-Christian religion as we know it. How do you explain away the Common Law predating the birth of Christ? Granted the Ten Commandments predate Christ, but there was no evidence that the people of the isles had ever heard of such a thing according to the Christians that first went there. And indeed, the earliest sets of laws of that region that we have record of do not look like they were influenced by the Ten Commandments.
