We were originally talking about how the law system is (or is not) based on the 10 commandments. I still see no relation for this law to the 10 commandments. > > > "If we really passed laws based on judeo christian values, we'd look a lot > more like a socialist country." > > Not necessarily. > > The Bible does say you should take care of the poor.
