Well, you may value the opinions of other men as nothing, but if that's so...what value are your opinions? I, otoh, value opinions from men based upon metrics other than "did they come from a man".
If it's from god, it's no more important and no more useful than if it is from a man. I don;t actually believe in jesus, so obviously, the value of the rule itself means more to me than whether or not a character in a book is said to have lived their lives by it.
As to whether or not the golden rule is incompatible with private property as defined in the op...so what (and it isn't..just because I wouldn't do it doesn't mean some other person wouldn't - ultimately that's one of the shortcomings of the golden rule no matter who expressed it or when)? I think you took liberties in your definition...but didn't feel the need to bicker about them.
