Thesis: All human beings were created by God, and therefore we all hold the same weight on this earth. From the moment we are born, to the moment that will pass, whether we are women, whether we are men, or whether we were rich, or whether we are poor, and no matter what our skin looks like or how much education we have, we are all created equally. Therefore, He states that whoever steals a man and sells him or has possession of him, shall be put to death. It is an unspeakable thing to do.
