All of American Law is based on the bible, and religion. If you look at it vaguely, the ten commandments are the LAW. America just has all of those laws split up into smaller crimes. Such as Thou Shalt not kill. You should not kill someone, but they have different degrees of murder. Thou shalt not commit adultery...Touch a kid...see what happens... Thou shalt not be envious of your neighbors goods. Stealing..They have different degrees of that also. All laws are based on the bible, and ten commandments, even if people do not believe so. This country was made AFTER the ten commandments, therefore everything is based on. I pledge allegience to the flag, of the united states of america, and to the republic for which it stands, one nation, under GOD, indivisible with liberty, and justice for all.

I think that law that says if your underage daughters get you drunk to have sex with you and get pregnant, you are blessed? You know... that law?
Or maybe the one about, if you pick up sticks on the Sabbath, you can be stoned? Right? Isn't that amendment 15 or something?
