However, if they picked up English common law that they still have, they could turn themselves into a free nation. But they won't. They reject common law and go into slavery, just as they reject Christianity, the only salvation for eternal life.

You think converting to Christianity would have solved all their problems?

Yap , christians like ourselves are also the ones causing problems. Salvation is based on your own deeds
Converting to Christianity DOES solve all our problems.
Simply saying that you have converted to Christianity, or saying it and then following something else, isn't converting to Christianity.
Salvation is based on one deed, if you can call it that. Salvation is believing that Jesus took all the punishment for all your sins and mistakes that you made as you live your whole life in the sight of God.
This life is relatively short. Most of us in this forum can imagine what it would be like to live in health from now on... no end.
There will be a resurrection from death, and there will follow it a judgment before God. Depending on a persons faith in Jesus in this life, it will have already been decided whether he/she will spend eternity in glory with God, or in the eternal dying that it takes for the soul to truly die.
Becoming a Christian in truth or in name doesn't stop one from making more trouble for himself in this short life.
