Only true morons believe that the TC represent any true standard by
which modern citizens should live. Take your TC and SHOVE em.
No, we're not going to do that, because the Ten Commandments are the basis
upon which our laws were founded.

No, that was the Code of Hammurabi, you conceited piece of dogma-swallowing mindlessness.

I would be interested in a explanation.
If that were true you'd have looked it up.

Do you ever stand up and provide support for anything you say? Your
unwillingness, or inability to back up you statement indicates to the
logical mind that perhaps there is no truth to your statements.

You're too lazy, though, to do that.
It leaves you so ignorant, so often.

You lied about your 'interest' too, or else you'd know
by now that scholars acknowledge the precedents to

This isn't for you, because you don't deserve it, but it's
for those who may happen to have a look at this thread
and take a genuine interest in the subject, unlike you:
"...The law collection of King Hammurabi first attracted attention for its many parallels
to later biblical law, but it is now appreciated as a major stage in the growth of law as
an institution ..."
http://www.natcath.com/NCR_Online/archives2/2003b/050903/050903a.php
"... Israel's law codes have many points of contact with ancient extra-biblical law codes
.... There are notable similarities between the Code of Hammurabi and certain Israelite
legal materials, especially the Book of the Covenant. For instance, as in Israelite law,
the Code of Hammurabi contains the law of retribution in kind (lex talionis), which
prescribes proportional punishment: an eye for an eye, a tooth for a tooth. " ..."

"... true of the laws. They come not from the mouth of God, but from the typical law
codes of the day. The most remarkable simile probably is the black diorite stele uncovered
at Susa on which is inscribed in cuneiform the Code of Hammurabi, dated to the 18th
century B.C. Not all the Mosaic laws are identical to those of Hammurabi or any other
Mesopotamian or Egyptian code, for each law code reflects the political, the economic, and
the social conditions of a particular place at a particular time. But the similarities are
enough to make it clear that the Biblical law is no divine revelation, but a practical set
of rules consistent with the social mores, and the political needs of the rulers, and
ascribed to God to assure its authority.
Interestingly enough, the drawing at the top of Hammurabi's stele shows the law code being
delivered to the king by the sun god, Shamash, just as the Jewish Law was delivered to
Moses by Yahweh, whose monotheistic antecedents can be traced to Aton -- briefly asserted
to be the one and only god during the reign of the Egyptian Pharaoh, Akhnaton; Aton also
was identified with the sun ..."

Thank you for the links. Now please consider this, the Hammurabi law may
indeed be a model fro the Mosaic Law, but together they are s a part of the
foundation of western law.

As if Dog himself answered my prayers, It produced almost immediately
the Moron I sought to prove the above point. Thanks for your help,
