Is it immoral to kill someone and take their stuff? We should get those ancient, hidebound laws off the books.
absolutely, it's immoral to kill and steal, but I didn't need the government to tell me that. The reason I haven't murdered anyone is not because it's illegal, it's because it's wrong. There are certain principles that all men should adhere to. The Ten Commandments is a good place to start. Morality is a set of principles by which one lives their life. Government is an insititution designed (originally) to protect men's rights, not to tell them how to live their lives.
