You're incorrect.Our founding father's were clearly influenced by Chrisitian/biblical morals. Its clownish to try to say that our country and its laws are not based on christian/biblical principles. Everything from marriage laws to swearing on the bible on court is proof of that.
LOL. That's one way to cherry pick. Start with George Washington and his prayer journal along with the prayer meetings that he led with our founders.https://www.law.cornell.edu/wex/establishment_clause
If you picked up more than a single book every day, you might learn about the history of your nation, and what the men who founded it did so in service of. Then you would avoid sounding a fool in the 21st century, when, unlike them, you have instant access to all of their writings, along with the works of the giants they toddled upon.
Sorry, not worth my time if your argument is false to begin with. By your last post, I see that you are so far behind, you think you are first.Well that was an easy win for me
Didn't say that. I said our laws are based and influenced by religious principles.
No one is saying that they sat down with the commandments and copied it except for scrawling "LAWS" across the top.One of the first provisions in our Constitution, our highest legal document, expressly says otherwise.
No one buys the fiction your selling. Especially when you go out of your way to only invoke it at select times.
Judeo Christian principles were a part of our founding principles. Many of the Founding Fathers were actually outspoken Christians. The intent of our forefathers was that the government can not force you how to worship like was taking place under British rule.
What's wrong with a Christian view of justice? After all, the United States was founded on Judeo Christian principles. Perhaps TS prefers the promotion of Sharia Law style justice. No thank you.
I get that. But you guys seem to be unaware of that thing called the Constitution and the "wall of separation between church and state" that was intended.I don't think a lot of people actually get that.
Where do you think our founding fathers learned their moral code? If you say anything but religion, you are deliberately disingenuous. There's a reason so many laws, abolished or not, coincide with the commandments.

I missed where it said he's enforcing Jesus.I get that. But you guys seem to be unaware of that thing called the Constitution and the "wall of separation between church and state" that was intended.
Christian principles were clearly a part of our founding, but you have the right to your own religious freedom. Look up George Washington's prayer journals along with him leading prayer meetings with the founders as a start.The intent of our forefathers was to very specifically and clearly separate religion from out laws.
The vague notion that it was still "christian in principle" is unsupported by any evidence other than selectively taking writings of some of the founders. This is done so that partisans can invoke biblical law/principles in one instance and then run away when they don't get them the result they want. Like posters calling for it's return, yet standing mute when it comes to applying it to someone like trump, who shits on biblical principles daily.
The easy solution: Lets follow the constitution.
Does he not have any rights or freedoms like those similar to many of our founders?I get that. But you guys seem to be unaware of that thing called the Constitution and the "wall of separation between church and state" that was intended.

He is not incorrect. You are mistatting and spinning the argument. Of course with the Founding Fathers and those around them being mostly Christian there was no way those values would not inform their views and findings. Just as US born Muslim who gets into the judiciary or gov't will not be able to prevent their upbring from informing their views and findings.You're incorrect.Our founding father's were clearly influenced by Chrisitian/biblical morals.

I would bet that 99% of them were deeply religious.Again, they were men of the enlightenment who saw what religion was doing to the colonies. They made a secular constitution in the face of a king who was the head of a state church for precisely this reason.
