This installment (in three segments) of the SA USA Sophianic Superlearning initiative's study of common law focuses on two differing Christian perspectives regarding the influence of Christianity on the development of common law. [Richard Anthony's article](http://www.ecclesia.org/truth/common_law.html) presents arguments and conclusions to the effect that the result of the process is inferior and unsuitable for Christians. [Augusto Zimmermann's article](https://creation.com/the-christian-foundations-of-the-rule-of-law-in-the-west-a-legacy-of-liberty-and-resistance-against-tyranny)contrastingly argues that Christian influence on common law led to the development of a system that provides the best defense extant for the people against tyranny. We have endeavored to give due consideration to both Anthony's and Zimmermann's views and learn what we could from them, while maintaining our non-Christian, Sophianic perspective. (Both of the Sophianic Animist participants in the discussion are ex-Christians.) The Christian influence on common law is undeniable and the effort over centuries to integrate into common law both Biblical ideas and non-Biblical notions that developed in Christianity and/or infiltrated it over the approximately two millennia since the writing of the Christian Bible was completed and the religion was founded has definitely produced results. We'd like to ascertain, at least somewhat accurately, what the most important results have been. Common law will not be the legal system in effect within the Sophianic organized society(s) of the future; nevertheless, we deem that learning about it is useful to those who love the [Home Story](http://sophianicmyth.org) and choose to be guided by it. ----- The accompanying thumbnail photo is from an article on defeating tyranny by Mike Adams featured on Before It's News, a website with a Christian orientation. Judging by the filename applied to the image and the general tenor of the article (as well as the hosting website, more generally), many hold the view that "faith in God" (the Abrahamic deity, assumed to be "the only true God") is an essential aspect of fighting against tyranny. And that deity will get the credit if and when defeat of tyranny is achieved. The tyranny being referred to in the article is that of the American Democratic Party with its President and Vice President currently in power and pursuing their extreme leftist agendas, with much evidence (regardless of what mainstream media says) suggesting -- or in the judgment of some, incontrovertibly proving -- that FDR's famous statement, "Presidents are selected, no elected" applies to the replacement of the conservative Trump administration with the (ultra-)liberal Biden crew in an especially egregious and divisive way. Will the defeat of tyranny (assuming it will come eventually, by one means or another) really be a "miracle" and evidence of divine (Yahweh's and Yeshua's) intervention? SA USA's answer is, No, it will not; in fact, regardless of whether Christians like the notion and want to admit its truthfulness, societal thinking and motivations associated and aligned with Christian indoctrination have been an essential factor in the events that have brought us to this juncture, and one is reminded of the insightful statement attributed to Albert Einstein: "Problems cannot be solved with the same mindset that created them." The thumbnail photo could also be taken in a more generic sense as the representative human animal (individual) welcoming and embracing a new day of warmth and light after a period of cold and darkness. Although the sun suggests superhuman forces at work, as well as illumination, warmth and healing, if one does not choose to do so, one need not look beyond divinely-endowed human qualities and the benevolent forces of nature as playing a role in the situation and favorable developments. Whether the divine Gaia-Sophia, the Goddess who is the source of our lives and who sustains human existence, will intervene to help her pet species (humanity) out of the current dire situation vis-a-vis global tyranny -- and if so, how -- remains to be seen. She has given us everything we need to succeed and whether or not humanity will overcome the challenge, we shall see. The Sophianic Animist view is optimistic, hence we speak often of the post-tyranny civilization (or complex organized social milieu) as The Beauty to Come. The thumbnail photo could be taken as "welcoming the beauty to come" and recognizing our Planetary Animal Mother and her cosmic ally, Savitri the living, sentient sun, as being ever-present, ever-relevant, and consistently concerned about the fate of the human species. Gaia-Sophia is, even now, developing a "ground force" of human devotees who, over time, can be expected to assume an increasingly important and noticeable role in the course of events within the human sphere.
