Religion and anarchism.

The question of hereditary ownership of person is irrelevant, as God (in granting free will) renounced His ownership over us in order to develop relationship (the entire point of creation, from His perspective). As God is omnipresent, however, He not only brought about creation (by spoken word, big bang, whatever), but He has quite literally mixed with every atom that exists even before sentient life existed. There can be no quarrel about His rightful ownership over everything He claims.

1. It does not necessarily follow that granting free will means renouncing ownership. After all, animals have free will, but people typically consider them ownable.

2. If God is in literally every atom, then how does He not still own us? After all, that means we’re all just parts of Him. The only way around this problem is to posit a non-material component to human beings: the soul or spirit. But that would mean that God is not omnipresent.
