“Biblical law permits voluntary slavery because it recognizes that some people are not able to maintain a position of independence. To attach themselves voluntarily to a capable man and to serve him, protected by law, is thus a legitimate way of life, although a lesser one.”

I don't recall any reference to the Bible in in the Constitution, can you identify specifics?

There is no reference to the Bible in the Constitution. The Bible is merely the source of everything we know about the Creator mentioned in the Declaration of Independence.

At the founding debates and discussions at the founding convention which produced the Constitution, the Bible was quoted as a legitimate source for the basis for law.

In fact the Bible was quoted about four times more than any other source at that convention.

The founders honored the Bible, cherished the Bible and used the Bible as a great source for American law, before, during and after they gave us the Constitution.

The shallow, ignorant, brainwashed modernist American just handwaves when faced with these facts.

Facts which all liberal modernists have exactly backwards in their own minds.
