In support of Spooner: dominion, and the Christian Bible as a legal document
Lysander Spooner's pamphlet on Natural Justice: "The Science of Justice" http://www.panarchy.org/spooner/law.1882.html Quoting Spooner: "If there be such a natural principle as justice, it is necessarily the highest, and consequently the only and universal, law for all those matters to which it is naturally applicable. And, of consequently, all human legislation is simply and always an assumption of authority and dominion, where no right of authority or dominion exists. It is, therefore, simply and always an intrusion, an absurdity, a usurpation, and a crime." Quoting the King James Bible, Authorised Edition: Genesis: "1:26 And God said, Let us make man in our image, after our likeness: and let them have dominion over the fish of the sea, and over the fowl of the air, and over the cattle, and over all the earth, and over every creeping thing that creepeth upon the earth. 1:27 So God created man in his own image, in the image of God created he him; male and female created he them. 1:28 And God blessed them, and God said unto them, Be fruitful, and multiply, and replenish the earth, and subdue it: and have dominion over the fish of the sea, and over the fowl of the air, and over every living thing that moveth upon the earth." In Australia, our federal Constitution (the Commonwealth of Australia Constitution Act 1901, clause 9), invokes the Blessing of Almighty God, and references the bible, the King James Bible Authorised Edition to be precise. This foundation may be useful to those confronting a purported court. There is likely a similar foundation in America. By my understanding of Spooner, "natural law" and "natural justice" is universal natural principal needing no statute to define it, which would demonstrate a contradiction - if justice, right and wrong, requires a law to define it, then it is no longer a natural / universal principal. Our current predominant "shared common delusions" include courts, and police carrying guns requiring we go to court (or arresting us and taking us there by physical force). So we face the current reality of our society as it is, not as we would like it to be. It is in this context that getting back to the foundations of the founding fathers, and the principles of natural justice and dominion, and making use of those documents held in some regard and referenced, and at the very foundation of our constitution (at least here in Australia) by our founding fathers, namely the King James Bible, may have a utilitarian value in handling the current reality we face ourselves within. It's perhaps a great blessing that Spooner never finished his voluminous treatise on natural justice, since this pamphlet, the limit of his treatise, is so short even a slow reader with attention deficit disorder has hope to focus for long enough, over a few sittings, to get through this short list of paragraphs. I suggest this Lysander Spooner's pamphlet be required reading for all and sundry. Help spread the word - I shall.
State AND church are the enemy. In the west, jew-christian religion is the sworn enemy of freedom. Natural law has nothing to do with jew-christian theocracy. Natural law is based on reason, not not on the scams of theocrats. On Sun, 12 Jun 2016 23:22:58 +1000 Zenaan Harkness <zen@freedbms.net> wrote:

Spooner on christianity : The Deist's Reply to the Alleged Supernatural Evidences of Christianity (1836) Spooner's comment on 'jesus' character : "Perhaps the most conspicuous defects in his personal character were, 1st, his readiness to resort to subterfuge, when challenged to work miracles, by those who doubted his miraculous powers, 2d, his propensity to practice concealment; and 3d, his notorious cowardice. " http://www.lysanderspooner.org/s/deistsreply.pdf http://www.lysanderspooner.org/works/ Spooner wrongly assumes that there was 'historical' 'jesus', but at least his view of the 'founder' of 'christianity' wasn't exactly flattering.
