Grounder to first.
Except that a jurisitic person assumes positive law that is not inherent in the moral fabric of the universe (i.e. the Ten Commandments). Hence the term "artificial" entity - or in other words, an entity invented by (sinful, post-Fall) men.

At best a foul tip. Below the Mendoza line.

"The heart is the main thing in true religion...It is the hinge and turning-point in the condition of man's soul. If the heart is alive to God and quickened by the Spirit, the man is a living Christian. If the heart is dead and has not the Spirit, the man is dead before God." (J.C. Ryle)
