You think not. I respectfully disagree. The leaders of the various colonies, states, and ultimately the Founding Fathers themselves were steeped in biblical thinking. They drew from the Bible examples and looked for confirmation of ideas for government in Scripture. In a ten-year study undertaken at the University of Houston, researchers examined 15,000 documents from America's founders and determined that 34% of their quotations came from the Bible, the highest by far of any source. Furthermore, Founding Father and educator Noah Webster (1758-1843) had this to say: "The moral principles and precepts contained in the scriptures ought to form the basis of all our civil constitutions and laws. All the miseries and evils which men suffer from vice, crime, ambition, injustice, oppression, slavery, and war, proceed from their despising or neglecting the precepts contained in the Bible."

It was natural for the early Americans to turn to the Bible for guidance as to how to make civil law. This was the standard for law beginning with the Mayflower Compact all the way through the constitutions of all 50 states. By the way, what was the stated purpose of the Pilgrims as expressed in the Mayflower Compact? Contrary to revisionist history, their purpose was not to find religious freedom—they already had found religious freedom in Holland. Their purpose is clearly stated as being for the "Glory of God and advancement of the Christian Faith." The Pilgrims were missionaries.

The first state constitution was the Fundamental Orders of Connecticut (1639). You may read this document at http://www.law.ou.edu/hist/orders.html. The framers of this document desired that every aspect of it be based on the Bible (See DeMar's America's Christian History, pgs. 57-58). This document was a model for other constitutions, including the U.S. Constitution which followed.

Biblical absolutes enshrined into law offered a consensus that meant freedom without chaos. One aspect of this is that, as stated in the Declaration of Independence, there exists "unalienable rights" of men. Rights were unalienable because they were given by God. This is very significant because in most societies up until that time (and indeed even today), rights are only conferred by whoever is in power at the time.

I have gone through some of our legal documentation having been designed by our forefathers. Here are a few, look them up for yourself:

It really eats at you folks that America did not choose to elect, to the White House, a man from a party whose slogan was "Get the hell off my lawn".

President Obama is our president. He will complete his term on Jan. 20, 2017. If you don't like it keep searching for those magic non-existent Democratic senators who would join Republicans to convict and remove President Obama upon a house impeachment?

How's that search working out for you guys??? Were you able to find an example, in American history, of anyone pulling off the type of conviction and removal you guys fantasize about. Names???

If you are upset about the will of the voters, next time run a better presidential campaign and don't be so quick to write off modern women, minorities, millenials, and liberal baby boomers....you know those folks who provide the margin of victory in presidential elections.......
