As an aside pet peeve, I really grinds my gears how people overuse "stealing" for everything now.

In my defense, they did literally have a ritual for stealing gods

Other peoples: "Our god protects us!"

Romans: "my god now"

Well, yes among others, but like the comment I was replying to, I see people calling pretty much everything "stealing" , from copyright violations to plagiarism, to copying open source without attribution, to just simple remixing. It's out of control.
