The concepts of American principles more closely resembles natural law then the bible. In that though, the writings of Thomas Aquinas and Summa Theologica, play a major role in "how" things like the Federalist Paper are written, and even the US Constitution.
Yes. The Founders weren’t Christian which helped lead us to our current mess. We succeeded mostly because majority population were Christian not dithering Whig Deists.
I read a book in Dutch by Milo/Mulder on how the Islamic faith started out and thy state most of their stories are copies of Jewish and Christian source material. It's a theory coined by a German institute, Inarah. http://inarah.net/ .
Wow. The fact that you would even pose such a question tells me that your historical knowledge of both Roman society, as well as early Christianity is extremely limited. Considering the wealth of historical documentation widely available for both, I'm actually shocked. Anyways, before I can answer you, I should preface this with the fact that Rome eventually became a Christian civilization. Prior to this, your so called Roman citizen was a member of a minority of political and wealthy elites. More resembling a monarchy, a modern analogy in American society would be like if only the swamp (a noble class of politically connected elites and wealthy corporatists) were citizens. The majority of Romans were either plebeians or slaves. After about two centuries, the edit of Caracalla was passed into law, granting limited citizenship to plebs, (the empire needed to be able to tax them, and it made drafting them much easier). However, it wasn't until about a century after the adoption of Christianity that former plebs could hold political office. Slavery also diminished over time, but again, it wasn't until well after Christianity that freemen could be considered citizens and hold office. These civil advancements towards a less classist society are generally regarded to be largely due to the Judeo Christian belief that all people are equal before God, as even a slave is made in His image. I hope this answers your question, and adds some dimension to your classical knowledge!
Christianity in the Western world has been corrupted over the last several decades or so to make people believe that the bible does say to be a little bitch. He's brainwashed. Maybe we can help deprogram him.
I agree OneTypo, with you and with Proverbs 11:10.
Scalia dies and they celebrate, Ginsburg dies and we have to pretend her death isn't a relief - why.
And they know us so well that they start re-enforcing our willingness to hide our true feelings, and guilt us into giving up our power and doing their bidding.
We already had two conflicted,virtue-signalers (Collens and Murkowski) trying for redemption by kissing their rings.
Jesus came to fulfill the law. Not to do away with the wisdom of Solomon.
Nothing about Christianity speaks to how to run a Country. Forgiveness and rejecting hatred isn't going to return our Country to having the Constitution as the highest law of the land.
Ben Franklin wanted to be a pacifist - until the redcoats nearly killed him. Then he learned how to fight!
The only deaths I've seen celebrated on here are the savage convicted pedo's that attacked and attempted to kill a 17-year-old kid (that stopped an attempted arson and was there to help injured protesters as a certified EMT), a 100% antifa violent piece of shit that murdered a Trump supporter in cold blood and blatantly LIED about the circumstances later, and a Supreme Court justice that supported the murder of millions of unborn lives and supported lowering the age of consent to a disgustingly low age.
Celebrating the death of your enemies is a sin. RGB and the other justices that invented the Roe v Wade "law" are culpable for more human death then Stalin or Mao. They are also some of Lucifer's most successful recruiters. I will be asking for forgiveness today.
Just so you guys know, as much as i disliked her Judicial activism, she had nothing to do with Row v wade as far as i know. That case was decided back in 1973. IN fact, she has even said that she believed it was wrongfully decided. While she did agree with the outcome, which makes her evil as fuck, at least from a jurisprudence point of view, she thought the ruling should have been narrow which would have given the decision on the legality of abortion itself to the states where it belonged.
Ok... brushes himself off...
I feel filthy as fuck defending her but it had to be done.
the Bible
50 Shades of Gray
The bible is mostly jewish history, so...
Unless you know the Bible you won’t understand Western Civilization, the foundation American principles, history, and culture rests upon.

do go on
I read a book in Dutch by Milo/Mulder on how the Islamic faith started out and thy state most of their stories are copies of Jewish and Christian source material. It's a theory coined by a German institute, Inarah. http://inarah.net/ .
Thanks for reminding me to reread that book!
The value system of western civilization draws from your so called Jewish history book. Every freedom you have has it's roots there, ingrate.
Can you name some of those freedoms that roman citizens did not already have?

The New Testament
Seconded.
The New Testament, over and over.
Summa Theologica is what you want.
It explicitly commands COURAGE
The Greek word translated as meek, really means something more akin to "ability to weild the sword but choosing to refrain"
This gets to the heart of the problem: meek is taught as though it meant weak. It does NOT!
How did Jesus get them out of the temple again?
Oh that’s right, he made his own whip and beat the fuck outta them.
That’s right he made a whip. He didn’t buy one, he was so angry he made one himself and used it to make the wicked leave the temple.
Yea, didn't read that shit anywhere.

Proverbs 11:10
When the righteous prosper, the city rejoices; when the wicked perish, there are shouts of joy.
I vehemently disagree with abortion and lowering the age of consent to 12 years old.

What does "quit ye like men" mean?
She wanted to lower the age of consent to 12. But i do agree we shouldn't celebrate her death i just can understand why people are.
We should rather celebrate her inability to be alive!
The only deaths I've seen celebrated on here are the savage convicted pedo's that attacked and attempted to kill a 17-year-old kid (that stopped an attempted arson and was there to help injured protesters as a certified EMT), a 100% antifa violent piece of shit that murdered a Trump supporter in cold blood and blatantly LIED about the circumstances later, and a Supreme Court justice that supported the murder of millions of unborn lives and supported lowering the age of consent to a disgustingly low age.
I wouldn't celebrate someone's death, but I will laugh at the feisty memes if they deserved the ridicule.

Depending on who's numbers you look at it is between 60 million and 75 million.
Which sin would that be ?
