96. It's the name of a book. The New Testament of Our Lord and Saviour
Jesus Christ Authorized King James version. It rolls off my tongue like gone with the wind or breakfast of champions. I did not mean to be cryptic or offensive in using that phrase. I was trying to identify a specific topic in the Bible, the meme of Christianity if you will. There's a lot of stuff in the Bible. A whole lot of stuff. I was trying to distinguish from say, stuff like the Ten Commandments. My reading of the Ten Commandments is that you shouldn't make graven images of them and put them in the public square. It would violate the Commandments themselves. But I digress.

I sin all the time and break the law occasionally. There is a difference. I don't think the two should have anything to do with each other if that answers the question. Laws should reflect the values of society, without imposing, or superimposing religeous views.

But now my original question again. If not something greater than man or the state, then whom.
