[livius]

:"Some of the greatest exponents of the natural law, like Aristotle and Cicero, never heard of the Catholic Church. These things we teach are not true because they happen to be taught by the church. We teach them because they happen to be true. Their truth antedates the church."

I wish more people understood this. It's the difference between Islamic "law," which is an arbitrary religious code applied to everything, and Christian law, which is founded on the innate law of God revealed in the very Creation and can be detected even by people who are not Christians.

[StonyBurk]

All law comes from the same source—it is the law of God.
Man must be controlled either by a force within themselves or a force outside of them either by the Bible or the bayonet.
All law either revealed law /revealed in Scripture— or natural law -both are dictated by God Himself.Wiser men than me said these things during our American Founding era. But I agree with them. I cannot agree with the bloody pagan Islamists their bloody god of destruction is NOT in any way equal to the God I read of in Scripture.
