Quote by: Irene You don't think our forefathers had the basic belief in God? God gives us freewill, so then I would suspect that freedom of religion could be based on that concept. I think most laws dealing with humans come from the bible, like no stealing, no murder, don't commit adultery, etc, however you will not find laws such as speed limits, car seat laws, tax law, etc. |
You say etc. but no stealing and no killing is pretty much all this is. There is no law for adultery. Everything else has nothing to do with the Bible. Fortunately, Catholicism has reformed itself to allow free will with religion. Since the dark ages, that was not possible (inquisition, heretics, blasphemy). I think it is our government who first said that we have free will, not because the Bible somewhere claims it, but because we didn't want our people to be forced to believe something.
