i'm sure he has some morals. but to say that our laws weren't based on the Bible is just pure ignorance.

Looks like I must not have been clear enough. I'm saying that it did not take a religious text to tell man the difference in right/wrong. Without the bible as a reference, most would still know that killing another person is wrong. Most would still know that taking things that don't belong to them is wrong.

And I appreciate the concern but I was brought up fine. I was also never told to just accept things the way someone else tells you they are.

oh really? the Bible says not to kill, not to steal, the Bible says not to lie. the Bible says to respect your mom and dad and you elders. so you're saying we shouldn't abide by that either?

help me out with why the holy Sabbath didn't become a law as well. Why isn't obey your parents a law?

It's a bit outdated, but I'd venture a guess that most of us are down at the bottom there.

I wouldn't say that Republicans are racist, I'd say they're classist.

it shares that because there are basic things most know are wrong and religious texts just ran with that. If I had never read a single word of the bible I would still recognize basic wrong/right.

And that is a quality given every man by....you guessed it....God

The first Chief Justice of the Supreme Court, John Jay, was put there BECAUSE he was a, and EVERYBODY knew it, devout Christian.
The country was and still is lead by Christian principles.

You think it could have also had something to do with that whole being a Founding Father thing and being President of the Continental Congress?

You think that he acheived the prior before everybody knew he was a Christian?
I submit that he achieved all these positions in our early government, BECAUSE he was a believer and lived it for all to see.
And, thanks for making my point that most of the founding fathers were Christians.

Just pointing out that there were contributing factors.

TJ was the biggest contributer to the Constitution was was likely the driver of the philosophy contained therein, and I'll assure yo that he had no interest in a Christian based document.

Without a doubt, much of the guiding principals is consistent with RELIGIOUS principals, which , shockingly, tend to mirror the the moral code of the vast majority of civilization.
