God should have asked Marys permission before he knocked her up. Jesus should have paid for that donkey before he rode off on it. It is good to teach children that their body belongs to them so they can protect themselves against pedophile priests and preachers.

Even though your proposed solution, private property, must end in totalitarianism - lest anyone do what you think they oughtn't - and war - lest someone prevents you from doing what you wanna?

In this age of nuclear bombs, that can end us all.

You seem to be taking the high road here. Do you own property?

Do you withhold food from your child or your spouse until they pay you for it?  Do you threaten your spouse or your children with violence if they should touch your stuff?  I'm guessing no, because you love them.  That's what love has to do with property.

According to the laws of the land, I own property - the laws of the land threaten force against any who might take my possessions.  That's unavoidable in today's society.

However, as we both know, the argumentum ad hominem tu quoque is a fallacy.  We're talking about the way things are and how they should be on first principles - I don't much care for personal attacks.

OK, got it now. Hello POE.

Edit: Forgot to add hypocrite.
I don't have an anger problem, I have an idiot problem.
