Where did "That foundation [that] was almost exclusively Christian" come from TH? (TH just hates to give credit where credit is due: Holy Scripture).
Now our system isn't one you'll find in the Bible any more than our system of government,
I proved differently in the link that I used in my first post and have dozens more like that showing our nation's biblical roots (both in culture and law).
God, the Bible and Political Justice: Chapter 10

but the influence of faith on both is inarguable, even as we institutionalized a protection from theocratic leanings.
Uh huh...so if you give the unborn due process (Deuteronomy 25: 1-3) look out, a theocracy is next!

I say "once great" because over 58 million American's have been put to death over the last 43 years without due process of law.
That's a failure of five men and a feckless legislature,...
And people who voted for the most pro abortion President in US history: Barack Hussein Obama (wink wink).

Christians and others who believe in decency have been punished for speaking out against sexual immorality, etc. etc.
Complete nonsense and not by our justice system.
Art Brain currently wears TOL's Queen of Denial tiara, are you attempting to dethrone the Queen by not acknowledging that Christians and people who stand for decency have been prosecuted, fined and even spent time in jail for speaking out against your beloved homosexual agenda?

Now tell us how it was those atheists at the ACLU that made the American legal system great TH, not the Bible.
You're an idiot...and a dishonest one. I can stomach the former, but the latter makes you mostly unpalatable, which is why you don't find me in your threads or often entertaining you.
I thought you avoided my threads because you know your limitations when it comes to arguing in favor of evil.
