Re: You can always doubt if you really want to.
or is that back door your way of saying "oops, we were wrong, we meant i would happen at X time later on." or "oops, um, it actually didn't deal with that, but instead with this"?
Seems to me the backdoor is your way out of responsibility.

Re: You can always doubt if you really want to.
Its laws {the OT} govern the world's Institutions, and all family, workers, environment and animal rights laws almost exclusively.
Well, that's bull.
The US and UK are based on common law. Not based on OT laws, really.
France and a good chunk of europe are based on the Napoleonic code. Same thing as with common law.
I'm pretty damn sure that Asia (India, China, Japan, all the indo-chinese countries, etc) are not based on the OT.
Does the OT describe how a republic should work? How about porportional representation? What about open list PR? How about the winner-take all single member districts? Does it explain how supreme judicial bodies should be governed? Does it mandate when elections are supposed to be held and how often?
I especially disagree with your statement on animal rights laws. Given that the OT in genesis says that the animals and world are ours to use as we will (and paraphrasing Ann Coulter, "the earth is yours, rape it".
Or are you maybe perhaps confusing "they are similar to each other" with "one caused the other"? Well, that would be a surprise, since as you all say, a dog is a dog is fox?
