Theft is against a commandment. 446 posted on 11/02/2002 8:12 PM PST by #3FanSo, what are you saying...
- The State can't morally Steal someone's intoxicants?
- Or, you are saying that it's not theft if the State outlaws the Property??
Well, if that's the case... when Hitler's storm troopers invaded the Private Property of Germany's Jewish population and turned them out of their shops and homes, were they committing Trespassing and Theft? Or were they just, y'know,
enforcing the Civil Law against Jews owning private property?
So, what are you saying... The State can't morally Steal someone's intoxicants?By civil law that person was not allowed to have his intoxicants in the first place so it's not theft.
Or, you are saying that it's not theft if the State outlaws the Property??
Yep.

They were in violation of Paul's golden rule commandment.
