Law has always had roots in religious values. A few of the Ten Commandments have stood up well, in a legal sense, over time. What you're saying may have some merit if you elaborated somewhat and if your statement wasn't so sweeping.Quote:

like penn and teller said on one page in the bible it says you shouldn't kill, on another it says disobedient children should be stoned.
i don't know what that has to do with anything i just thought of it
Leviticus ?
