If I kill you do I own your child or your pet?

I'd say that whoever you designate in your will would be the rightful owner. I remind you that force is not the standard of justice.

Your god is dead? You don't "get" your own god. Either their is a God or their is not. If there is then He is whether you acknowledge Him or not, and any moral code He authorizes can justly be applied to you whether you try to contrive a more limited one or not.

Don't you think a much more sound position is that the NAP sums up God's moral code with respect to government? I mean, that is basically Ron Paul's position.
