Our founding fathers made the majority of their rules based on the Bible. (Which is why you will find the 10 Commandments posted in almost every single courthouse in the country.) I don't think too many people would argue that we should legalize murder, so to some extent, we need these rules.

I'm fairly certain a couple of the other religions say that lying, stealing, and adultry are wrong. I'm a little fuzzy on their stance on murder, but they're probably against that, too.
What I meant was, quoting the bible as a basis for supporting or opposing laws. There was a guy on CNN who was on the school board in like Georgia or something who was debating in favor of paddling in school, and the only thing he used to back up his argument was passages from the bible. Stuff like that.
