What about it? There's very little in the foundational philosophical principles of this country to be found in the Code of Hammurabi; just because it's one of the oldest known written laws doesn't mean our law was modeled after it other than in the most simple sense that it codified law. It's not a blueprint for an early form of democracy or republic.
And besides, the Founders had no idea it even existed.
Oh god.
Can you please read more than just one or two of my posts before you try to debunk what I have to say?
I have stated that I believe the Bible to be based off of principles that are indoctrinated in a metaphysical realm. That people are born into cultures, and cultures share similar ideals of these basic (see the Golden Rule) principles on how to play nicely. I have given a source that shows 21 different instances in appearing in 21 of the world's biggest religions.
