The code of Hammurabi was written around 1754 BC. It was the first codified written set of laws of any length, but there are earlier Sumerian examples. Hammurabi's were printed on a marble pillar and copied for centuries by scribes. An eye for an eye sense of retribution for crime, minimum wage, and the presumption of innocence with the burden of proof on the accuser. One thing that is different from US Law - presumably - is that there was provision for a difference of punishment based on the class of the defendant.

What impact does the church have on a visitor?
A church is not an organization or a building. You have to understand that a church is a group of believers who are human. Today's churches still have a big impact to the society but due to human imperfections, many believers do not stand firm on the teachings from the Bible. They tend to conform to the society instead of influencing the society to the right direction. That is too bad. On the other hand there are still believers (churches) standing firm on the fundamental doctrines and Bible's teachings. The atheists called these churches fundamentalists and conservatives. Although there are alway bad images of the churches all over the world, churches will continue to impact the society in many area in certain extent, until Jesus returns.
