However, the suggestion is more easily stated than implemented because the legal and educational history of the last millennium has embedded deeply within the various legal systems of its centuries the diabolical network architecture (DNA) of Christianity. The first written works of English law recognized that the man formerly, and informally, referred to as Billy the Bastard before crossing the English Channel in 1066, and referred to as William the Conqueror after that Channel crossing, demanded, and was granted, his wish that all laws in the newly conquered lands would maintain above their sovereignty only the Christian god.<br><br>As a result, the subsequent English Common Law was carefully devoid of any references to heathen or pagan aspects of Roman Civil Law, and henceforward not only that separation was maintained, but copious counts of legal pronouncements in the subsequent centuries included references, direct, indirect, and implied, to the Christian deity and its institutional and administrative hierarchies, dogmas, doctrines, and divines so deeply embedded in the structures and texts of the law that a couple of decades of diligent effort likely would be required to edit and amend such references from the various legal codes even if there was general agreement to do so, which most certainly does not exist. <br><br><o:p></o:p></p><blockquote style='margin-top:5.0pt;margin-bottom:5.0pt'><p class=MsoNormal>And there is so much in the Bible that ought to be brought back--e.g., head-coverings, much longer skirts, no bikini's, and so forth.<o:p></o:p></p></blockquote><p class=MsoNormal style='margin-bottom:12.0pt'><br>There is so much in the various so-called holy books that should be allowed to decay and to die from the memories of modern humankind. The history of religions among human beings is an awesome and terrible tragedy of mental illness passed from generation to generation through teaching, tyranny, and terror to perpetuate patriarchal power via priestly practices and political patronage. Dozens of decades devoted to decimation decided by divines can only be explained by massive madness mindlessly murdering millions -- practices that continue today.<br><br>Clothing choices to cover women are merely indications of social and mental immaturity of the men who refuse to learn to master and control themselves in socially advantageous ways.
