There is never a process of acquiring, developing, or constructing a bit of property, it exists moment to moment as only an idea (non-being) or actual property (being). Being and non-being are absolutely distinct. The difference between the idea of (owning) a cow and an actual (owning of a) cow is not a matter of moving along some continuum of compromise with a possible happy medium. Ideas are not property and people are not ideas either. It can be a tricky concept in the modern world, because we are really resistant to the idea of people as property, but in the ancient world it was known you were going to be someone’s property,and that meant being under their authority and protection, provision, who you belonged to. Abortion,usury, slavery, porn, whatever schemes we come up with that violate the patent that says we are made in the image of God. So things, ideas, that convert people into commodities are a violation of God’s intellectual property rights. God has, “enforceable commercial exclusivity,” so to speak. We are real enough, as is all of creation. ![]() That is a concept I apply to faith, to God, we are His intellectual property. “And once a patent is granted, what the patent holder actually receives – the patent itself – is a security entitling the holder of the patent to enforceable commercial exclusivity within the jurisdiction of the patent authority.”
