I usually don't entertain such ignorance, but where did the law that says you can't kill people come from? Islam? Where did the law saying you can't steal other people's property come from? Islam once again? Where did the adultry laws come from? Again Islam? Where did the acceptance to practice WHATEVER religion you wanted to come from? Shall I list Islam again for this one too? Keep going down the list of basic laws, they ALL originate from Judeo Christian philosophies.
I thought America's laws were based on the constitution
Ok, I'll bite. What laws might those be?
It seems to me that the Laws of the United States traced their origins to British Common Law and the Magna Carta more than anything found in the Bible.
Let's get back to the point. Since you seem to have jumped in to support the idea that all of America's laws are based on the bible, let's see you prove it with regard to anything in my post.
You suggested that the poster didn't know anything about the Electoral College so I took it that you were an authority on that subject and that you would know about how Washington voted. If you are going to continue to avoid the question I will take it for granted that you don't know.
Jack, I would never say that about our laws. Obamacare alone proves that not to be true. Just the part that demands all people have health insurance is enough to disqualify that statement from you.
Would you care to tell me all the things that you know to prove that George Washington was a deist and not a Christian? I would surely like to see your proof.
I haven't got the slightest clue about what George Washington's religious beliefs or lack thereof has to do with the topic. Washington was President of the Constitutional Convention, which as I pointed out to you previously was about as important as Al Gore being President of the Senate. He was also the President of the United States, not Moses of the United States.

Ms. Palin has finally jumped the shark by announcing the we should "Go back to what our founders and our founding documents meant - they're quite clear - that we would create law based on the God of the bible and the ten commandments."
The amazing thing is that no matter how many times she makes moronic statements like this that reinforce the image of her being totally clueless and unqualified to hold high public office, her followers will blindly continue to paraise and support her.
I always wonder how anyone can say that the early founders were anything but Christian. Take these words of John Adams, who followed Washington as President about our government.
“The government of the United States is not in any sense founded on the Christian Religion” John Adams
“It is impossible to rightly govern a nation without God and the Bible.”
John Adams
I am sure that one of these quotes from Adams fits progressive reasoning but what about the other. Progressives don't want people to know he ever said that one.
I would like to suggest that both statements are very true but either one alone is just a little truth.
Why not add in all the punishments found in the bible? Let's see, what are the more insane things punishable by death...
Marrying a woman who is not a virgin, and pretty much all premarital activities
Blasphemy
Working on the Sabbath (too bad if you have a heart attack on Sunday)
Cursing or not obeying your parents, even being stubborn.
Apostasy (being in a town where most people don't worship the "approved" version of god)
Lying in any way, or not following the verdict of a judge
Being uncircumcised
Consuming blood (often taken to include rare meat)
Eating fat
Planting more then one type of seed in a field
Wearing clothing woven of more than one kind of cloth
Eating aquatic creatures lacking fins or scales
For women, speaking in church
Cutting the hair on the sides of your head or clipping of the edges of your beard
Why stop there if people believe it's the word of god? If you accept one set, and ignore others, isn't that a bit crazy?
