Oh please do, that’s the direction I’m going with in this thread.

I got Locke, Machiavelli and Rousseau in reserves, ready for action :number1

BUT thats not the point Since you said thats your favorite thing you owned and bringing the point of theft, How would you feel if someone took your life, Yes its murder but the also STOLE your body/life…

I’m surprised to see you in this thread. I know you’re not one to shy away from opposing ideas but it could get ugly.

People with that mind set have shut down themselves and just leave it to “bigger forces” than them and refer to the book.

However you contradict yourself.

> **They are not answerable.** That’s just how it is. Our minds can’t comprehend stuff that we cannot see, which is why it takes a GREAT amount of BELIEF to be religious.

If you couldn’t comprehend material you couldn’t see, nobody would be religious.

> We don’t like stealing because thousands of years ago, some caveman came home to his cave to find his wheel stolen. He didn’t like that, so he talked his fellow area cave dwellers into ‘not allowing’ it, and it spread to all the peoples of the world. Or something stupid like that.

Concept of theft and ownership is as much human invention as the wheel is.

“Not allowing it”? Lets presume they did communicate to that extent, but somebody went after the wheel again. Who is going to enforce the protection of that wheel without fighting?

99% of society is convinced that there is plenty of theft and unfair perks in the government, and it is a fact indeed. Just look at the “bailout”, yet there is nothing done about us being unhappy about it.

We are hunters/gatherers by nature. Plenty of species out there that like to live groups and have their own rules. Monkeys, Dolphins, Penguins, Wolf packs etc. They have well established rules of territory and others as well.
