And Mosaic law...hence the ten commandments being a basis for jurisprudence. Without it, if still under Roman law, we would still be crucifying each other wholesale.

Edit to Add: There are disagreements about this, but this is not unusual in jurisprudence. as in: www.sodabob.com...

"...the role of the Ten Commandments in the formation of Western law is an historical fact. The Ten Commandments are the "very fountainhead of the common law" (the body of law developed in England and followed in America), according to Herbert W. Titus, founding Dean of the Regent University School of Law and Government. The monument, provocative to some, simply restates that historical fact, he says."
"Law professor John Eidsmoe adds that "Mosaic law has influenced and really been the basis for Western law." Eidsmoe, who teaches law at Faulkner University..."

My bolding. Interesting that these two people, Herbert W. Titus and John Eidsmoe are employed at christian universities. Regent University was founded by none other than Pat Robertson (you can hear what he thinks about genuine academia here. Fulkner says of itself that foundation is "predicated on the conviction that the Bible is the inspired word of God" which is about what you could expect from a "university" which began as a simple bible school. Sorry but you couldn't have chosen two more biased sources for your information. Yes "education" really is the way to take over the country.

You say you don't see dominionism? Open your eyes. They are leading you about by the nose and yet you are blind to it. Both of the universities in the quotes you cited are dominionist.

By the way, in case you need an American history lesson, Englishmen left Britain to get out from under Church Rule, and worship as they saw fit...not the government's way. That is the basis of the American Constitution. It may have some English law, some Roman law and a few others thrown in the mix, but the founding fathers knew exactly what they wanted...and that was freedom OF religion.

LOL! I need a lesson. Sure religious freedom was one reason but even a casual reading of the grievances listed in the Declaration of Independence reveals that it was far from being the primary reason.

Oh, I so apologize for quoting from a Biased source not to your liking. After all, ALL written (and verbal) word for that matter is biased, as are the revisionists and translators of the Constitution. As are the folks on ATS. Ask any judge for his/her OPINION.

So, call me an Evangelical...I'll welcome that with open arms...and doesn't bother me one iota what you or anyone else thinks about it. Oh wait a minute, I think I do care...NOT.
