Default Re: So Why is Stealing Wrong Again?

Without a belief that there is more to life than the here and now (there is a God/afterlife and reasons relative to such) I see no reason to not steal if one wanted to.

The only reasons not to would be for civil order.

I , especially given the fact that I have no children , wouldn’t give a hoot what the state of the world is after I am dead. If civil order started to decay, so what? I will be long gone by that time.

In fact, if there is no God, let’s get it over with and save future generations from having to deal with all the nonsense. Maybe, I am just one who likes to think that there must be more to it then this. Life is good, don't get me wrong. But, when people say (myself inlcuded) when things are good "it don't get much better than this" - well, it just ain't enough for me.
