[quote=Skye Ephémérine;1024857]Shouldn't you use examples from actual religious laws before coming up with your usual inventive scenarios?
The law you so enjoy was written by a bunch of white fogies in funny wigs and pantyhose and that for some inexplicable reason is better than divine law? and we have all seen just how wonderful it is indeed![quote]
Actually, If British Law is anything like American law it may have origionated with 18th century enlightenment thinkers, but it's present state is the result of years and years of popular debate, discourse, and collective decision makeing that has fashioned a government more or less in line with the will of the sovreign popular.
You may consider "divine law" better than law from the democratic process, however the latter enjoys a universal accesability that the former does not and is ammendable to the will of the people.

Islamic law certianly is interesting and very advanced for it's time however I am willing to be any school you pick would have certain components that modern secular people would not like.

England has imposed its stupidity and imperialism on the world long enough

England has also exported quite a bit of brilliance over the past few centuries. You have them to thank for the computer you are typing on. Particularly an English gay man who ended up killing himself with a poison apple after being forced into hormone treatments via Englands religiously motivated anti-gay laws.
