Laws existed long before the Bible, like Egyptian laws/ moral codes, take a look at them
Not so bad, ha? And yet Egyptians have never heard of the Bible or Moses, so when people make laws they use other means than the Bible.
Even the Obama is spoofing the notion that Bible can have anything to do with the laws
teachings of the Bible are so muddled and self-contradictory that it was possible for Christians to happily burn heretics alive for five long centuries. It was even possible for the most venerated patriarchs of the Church, like St. Augustine and St. Thomas Aquinas, to conclude that heretics should be tortured (Augustine) or killed outright (Aquinas). Martin Luther and John Calvin advocated the wholesale murder of heretics, apostates, Jews, and witches. - Sam Harris, "Letter To A Christian Nation"
