Thou Shalt Not Steal

Thou shalt not steal. It's one of the 10 Commandments of God as told and revealed to Moses while he was praying on Mount Sinai. There are other 9 commandments but let us tackle about "the act of stealing."

In one of the pages in the Holy Bible it was written that God will come like a thief. What? Is that for real? Or just a figure of speech?  HE as a thief?

Also in one of those Holy Bible pages, Barabas was a thief and he was freed because the Jews had let him go free  instead of Jesus who was crucified instead. But then Jesus promised the thief that he'll be with him to paradise. What a contradictory to the ten commandments of Moses who killed one of the Egyptian guards.

I think if the intention of stealing is favorable for mankind or for the good of society then that's forgiveable. ?ha? You know that ancient  Vikings are thieves and so as the pirates and their means to achieve their aim and goal is to steal if not murder all whoever hindered their purpose of existence.

WAR. All wars include slaughter of innocents and stealing of all valuable items worthy of possession: land (bigger than a country and if its bigger than a continent, why not), stealing of ammunition (tanks, missiles, fighter planes, ships, boats, houses, everything), bank accounts, jewelries, bars of gold, diamonds, etc.etc. If they can rob or steal the population they will do it and use these prisoners of war as slaves. All archaeological facts, finding and artifacts were also stolen every time there were wars. It happened before, long time ago and what we can do about it? Nothing. That's part of History. It would be the sins of the leaders of their countries.

Watch the MUMMY movies of Tom Cruise and Brendan Fraser and you'll know that the act of stealing is now an art. That Johnny Depp, Jack Sparow the pirate is popular because of the part/role he played. Then Thomas Crowne Affair and James Bond include Nicolas Cage 's part/role for stealing the "Declaration of Independence Day manuscript." All those artifacts and specimens that we see at the Museums were stolen and passed from one curator to another until they end up in Museums. Archeologists discovered and found them through digging ancient pyramids, monasteries, cemeteries, from the depths of the earth through the depths of the oceans. Excavation of certain ancient artifacts required million dollar funding that when they unearthed important valuable fossils, specimens and artifacts the act of sin over the act of exploits or exploitation meant higher of value for mankind to establish its intelligence on knowing that there exist certain civilization and every educated person might perhaps benefit in the acquisition of such matter for educational purposes even if for certain those artifacts were owned by other people and other countries in the antiquities.

What else is worthy of stealing? If there's another planet similar to Earth, maybe we'll go there and say iViking. Now, that's not funny unless if I'm a VIKING.

Moral lesson: FOLLOW THE GOLDEN RULE and follow your good conscience.
