Why do Christians not promote their law?
They do. But in most western nations it is illegal.
Oh and stupid.
​
Do you think you could codify christian "law" so even christians would agree?

But they referred to it in the Declaration of Independence, and the Constitution followed what the Declaration said.
What the fuck does that mean?
​
The Declaration was a document proclaiming the severing of ties. It is not a document of the USA it is pre-USA. It has nothing to do with the foundation of a new governing system. The Constitution was the founding document of the new country. Previous documents are not part of USA. If that were true we would look to the Articles of Confederation for guidance too.
​
That being said the Declaration says nothing about the bible or christianity.
​
It's almost as if you're...a troll.
​
I just find the "shout down" tactics of the same collegiate atheist mindset that came up with all the "logical fallacies" lists to be quite amusing.
Well I guess if you dont understand why something is a logical fallacy you should just call people names and make ad hominem attacks.
​
Atheists seldom show much passion for free speech, do they?
Yeah cause following some sort of biblical law would be the epitome of freedom.
Oh and there we go another personal attack. Stay classy bud.
It burns.

It means what many consider to be the most important statement in the Declaration; "...all men are created equal, that they are endowed by their creator with certain unalienable rights..." - the constitution was largely about the preservation of those rights. The constitution followed that statement.
No the Constitution laid out the formation of the government. The Bill of rights added individual rights. You still have failed to show where the Constitution mentions the christian god or the bible, or the Declaration for that matter.
​
So the Declaration has nothing to do with the founding of the U.S.?
Did I say that or are you still trolling? Nice strawman.
​
It mentions a creator.
So you agree. It does not mention the bible or the christian god. Glad to see we agree on something patently obvious.
​
Nah, vulgar 4 letter words work better, don't they?
The word fuck bothers you? Tough shit. Will you now stop the personal attacks and debate instead of being a dick?

And so far, no one can make the case that it's good for society.

I've already explained that something doesn't necessarily have to be specifically mentioned to be an inspiration for something.
You can assert things all you want, but until you present evidence you have nothing. Since you have presented no evidence to back this assertion, I will assume you have nothing and it is just crap you are spouting.
If you don't agree, then we should agree to disagree.
Ahh yes the old agree to disagree. That is what you fundies like to say when they have no evidence. Classic and typical.
​
Please don't use the F word again.
I will use any word I want to. It really is just a word. It won't hurt you.

Do these mean the same thing? No. Not even close. Nice try troll.
A document can easily not be a US document and still have to do with the founding of the US.
​
Is the Virginia Constitution of 1776 a US government document? No. Does it have anything to so with the founding of the US? Yes. A heck of a lot actually.
​
Yep, you said it! I love this place!
So have you always been a masochist?

So do you concede this is something else you are absolutely wrong about?
​
You were talking big but now you seem to be ignoring me.
​
I'd like to address the crap you posted about homosexual marriage, but would like to put this to rest before I destroy that argument too.
​
Wintryknight? Really? That is your source? You are making things way to easy.

I was referring to its influence on the constitution of the U.S. and that's when you told me it wasn't a founding document of the U.S. So if you believe it DID, or COULD HAVE had influence, what was your purpose to say that it wasn't a document of the U.S.?
As you are changing arguments midstream and are doing nothing but building strawmen I guess attempting to debate honestly is pointless.

You really see no problem with those statistics?
​
How about the sources? No problems with any of them?
