I've been reading this thread for some time but now I've just got to "wade in" with my view. Yes, the state DOES "own" you (at least your body). Albeit illegitimately (they have TAKEN ownership by force and you had no choice in that, you didn't "sell" or "give" ownership) but state ownership of your body exists as a practical fact. Short of leaving "society" and living out your life in the wilderness, "living off the land", there is nothing you can do about it.
This "ownership" (of YOU at least, not your body) ends when you die. Then you go to the rightful owner - Christ. However, the state still has control over your body - they can, and do, demand that your death be "registered", tribute paid to them for the privilege of "death registration", and they claim the right to do with the body what they like, i.e. "the rules" with regard to disposal must be adhered to. At the moment your relatives have the final "say" with regard to organ donation, but the state will soon take over this role. The state has already made it clear that they can "trump" what ever a relative says about what happens to a body. The relative can "have a say" that is about the extent of it, the state will make the decision.
When you were in utero your mother "owned you" but the minute you were born, the state TOOK you. Your parents gave their consent to this (OK, they were tricked into doing so) by the fact that they "registered" you with the state and accepted any help that state agencies had to offer "for a new born bady".
Why do you think that the state "throws its weight around" with regard to vaccinations, "child health" and "over-rules" parents where the state thinks that the child "needs" medical treatments like chemotherapy? The state always has the "final say". The state thinks it has the right to TAKE (back?) children "will nilly" if the state's will with regard to the child is not being adhered to.
The state thinks it has the right to demand that you "go to school" and be indoctrinated with their beliefs. If they didn't think that they "owned" you they would not be able or want to "mould you" into being an "obedient unit".
When you grow up the state thinks that it has a right to conscript its own property into the military, demand that its own property "obey he rules" of society (ie drive at the "speed limit, don't smoke pot etc.). The state thinks that it has the right to "number its own property" (SSNs), issue ID cards (real ID) to keep track of it's property, and the state simply cannot let its slaves start getting "uppity", owning guns, using them to "get their way" and "get the state off their back", taking things (like land or rainwater - things that rightfully belong to the state) and getting the idea that can have control over them.
So the state DOES own you whether it it legitimate or not, moral or not, it is an existing fact. Not because we have given our consent or “allowed it” but because the state has a monopoly on violence, it has force on its side and it TAKES what it wants. Also this happens because there are so many people out there who think that it is a good thing that the state has these powers and even think that these state powers were somehow divinely delegated to them.
The biggest obstacle we who believe in freedom face is convincing others who believe in “the divine right of the state” that there’s nothing “divine” about the state at all. I’ve even heard “God delegated some of his powers to the king, but we no longer have a king as parliament has taken over but parliament has these delegated powers because they got them off the king (the execution of king Charles the first in 1649 and “parliament taking over his powers” - or substitute the word "president" for "parliament"). Others believe that state has powers over people – ownership “because Romans 13 says so”. These people are the biggest “enemies of freedom”, not “the state” itself because “the state” is made up of state employees who are not very bright, just bright enough to “do what they’re told” and know that their livelihood “comes from the state” (they don’t even realise that it actually comes from the people) and their allegiance would soon change if that paycheque were to stop coming.
The state even has the final say over what name you will have. If your parents want to call you something "totally unreasonable", the state will "over rule" it. The state believes it has the right to imprison you "at will", execute you, make you work (sentence you to "hard labour"), force you to "pay taxes" and therefore work to get the money, to make you "fight for your country" (ie "the state"). Now they believe that they have the right to "regulate" your medical care (Obamacare) because your body really belongs to "us" -the state, not you.
The only way to assert real self ownership is if someone is born in a remote location, never "registered" with the state, never requires "proof of ID" of any sort and dies without the state knowing about their existence.
God is probably laughing about all this and thinking "how can they really think they own my people? It is ridiculous". It may not be a "fact" as such, but state ownership does exist because so many people believe that it does.
