Thou shall not steal.

I assume that terse reply is to exemplify one of the Ten Commandments that appears in law everywhere.

There are quite a few others that do not.

The one cited doesn't run counter to my argument, either. When someone steals, they are clearly violating the other person's right to property.

When an abortionist murders a baby, they're clearly violating the baby's right to life.

Your desire to have government deal with "sin", however, is the recipe for tyranny. For the second time, aren't you putting government in God's place?
