Well.

The point the venerable Mr. Adams was making was that even if the dominant religion hadn't already outlawed theft millennia before, any great society must, in it's formation, include this inviolable right.

Thou shalt not steal.

That's not some literal tenet regarding property. It points to avarice as being materialistic, and hence unspiritual. The mistake of objectifying one's value in terms of the material. Shit, do you believe the Commandments were written for the good of capitalism?
