This country's laws are based on the Ten Commandments, and rightfully so.
Secular Humanism doesn't exactly have positive rules to live by.
Neither does subjective morality.
Pure nonsense.
I keep seeing people claim it is the basis for our laws, but most of them seem to have not read either.
The Commandments:
#1 - Thou shalt have no gods before me. This is the basis for what US Law? Oh yeah, none.
#2 - Thou shalt not take the Lord's name in vain. This is the basis for what US Law? Yep, none of them.
#3 - Remember the Sabbath and keep it holy. This is the basis for what laws? Yeah, a handful of Blue Laws that are getting knocked down.
#4 - Honor thy mother & father. This is the basis for what US Laws? Yep, none on this one either.
#5 - Thou shalt not kill. FINALLY at the halfway mark we get one that applies to a US Law. Of course, this same law can be found in every civilized culture. In fact, the Code of Hammarabi predates the 10 commandments, and expressly forbids murder.
#6 - Thou Shalt not commit adultery. This is the basis for what US Laws? I know it will cost you in divorce court, but is it illegal?
#7 - Thou shalt not steal. We have another winner!! But then, like #5, this law is found in every civilized culture, including laws that predate the 10.
#8 - Thou shall not bear false witness against your neighbor. US Law? Nope.
#9 & #10 - Thou shall not covet. This?? LMAO! Violating this commandment is the basis for our economy. Nope, not a US law.
So out of 10 commandments, 3 of them are strictly religious laws, 2 are laws on our books, and 5 are great ideas but not laws.
