I go back to my earlier question: If I am God, and the bank is God, and the security guard is god, why shouldn't I steal money from the bank, and why should I care if I shoot the security guard in the process? It would be like stealing one of your own fingernails from your left pocket to put into your right; what is immoral about that?
God exists in all of these forms, which of course asks the question of "Why bother to create the universe at all?" My belief is that the universe is an expression of God, and that we are "created in God's image" as co-creators in this universe. Under this model, my job as co-creator is to increase the amount of "goodness" in the universe: the amount of peace, beauty, life, light, love, harmony, etc.

As for why not kill the guard, that's simple: it decreases the amount of life and love in the world. As for why not to steal the money in the first place, that is a little more subtle. It implies from the start that you have a consciousness of lack and that you believe that your only/best solution to this is to harm other people instead of creating abundance for yourself. As the co-creator, it would be a much higher action to create more for yourself; stealing from someone else does not increase anything, and will probably decrease the amount that can go around.
