I just finished The Second Treatise of Government, and I started thinking. Locke has the whole god thing pretty figured out. But I got to thinking more.
Alright, so God put us here. We were free to do pretty much what we wanted as long as we followed some sort of ethics code. And the Law of the Land.
Now the problem I find with this is that I can't figure out who makes this law. I mean up untill recently in History you could claim pretty much anyland. Look at america.
Now, he also talks about How war is declared when ones' property is fucked with, if you felt enslaved, people can't own people. You have a right to declare war with someone.
But who gave the person the land in the first place, Not god. I mean would god want people to buy and sell the land that he gave to humans? Would he be happy with us? and Would he care if I fought for a piece of land that wasn't mine? Lets say I like this piece of land, there is no house or anything on it could I claim it? and would God let someone declare war with me if the stumbled upon it?
I will get to my point when I get some responses but start with that.
