well, since you yourself admitted that if your property really being your own is debatable, then your life really being your own is debatable. Thus, there are 2 options. 1. Say that nothing is actually morally wrong. 2. Use common sense when deciding your morals, and don't do anything to harm anyone else.
I'll take option 2.
How is your life being your own debatable? It's not, in any way. If your life wasn't yours, then it wouldn't be your life. Is it that hard to understand?
How is stealing possibly being right debatable?? It's not, just as murder possibly being morally right isn't debatable.
I hate to be rude, but you have not made a single valid point yet. You keep talking yourself in circles, and have yet to answer a single question.
Murder is immoral, because you have a right to your life, because it is your life. If it wasn't your life, you wouldn't be you.
Stealing cannot be proven to be immoral, because while you may have a right to what you earn, the criteria for "earning" something is subjective.

speaking of talking yourself in circles, didn't you yourself say a right to property was one of your undeniable rights???
speaking of talking yourself in circles, isn't that something that you constantly do? going from extreme religious, knowing for sure that god is real, to extreme atheism, calling people who are religious stupid. And then from extreme right wing beliefs to extreme left wing beliefs??
I hate to be rude

The thought that your life is your own is the same thing that makes your property your own. If it's yours it's yours, if not then it's not. You can't say your life is the only thing you can own, that's stupid and you're smarter than that.
