Theft?

Is theft the co related to every sin?

If you lie to someone, you rob them of their trust.
If you kill someone, you take their life.
If you humiliate someone you rob them of their dignity.
The list goes on...
Thoughts please?

 

Interesting.

Never thought of this.

I suppose you are correct, but "theft" in most peoples eyes is when you take an actual item, Something you could see, and touch.

Everything you stated above are emotions and feelings. So in my personal opinion, yes I suppose you are, but a lot of people could argue my other statement (theft = real items).

 

"Theft" origins from the perspective of a tangible object.

Trust and dignity are not tangible. From a less acceptable perspective, though, you could think of it like that.

 

In criminal law, theft (also known as stealing or filching) is the illegal taking of another person's property without that person's freely-given consent. As a term, it is used as shorthand for all major crimes against property, encompassing offences such as burglary, embezzlement, larceny, looting, robbery, mugging, trespassing, shoplifting, intrusion, fraud (theft by deception) and sometimes criminal conversion. In some jurisdictions, theft is considered to be synonymous with larceny; in others, theft has replaced larceny.

Why? I can just assert the opposite and it doesn't make it true. To me, theft could be stealing an idea, or a piece of code, or my trust as the OP stated.
