And if you want law and morality stear clear of the bible as it has multiple humans rights violations. And funny how the most relgious places in the world (except for america) are the poorest and worst of, there obviously no connection there then.... not. Your Silly book is a dangerous one in the wrong hands (which 99% of the time).
