So, what's wrong with this argument of mine?

This really is not a difficult question. While the bicycle is God's, He gave it to "Roberta", not you - in that sense you "stole" the bicycle and it is not "yours". Often times we can understand things better by changing our ways of thinking about them. While in our ordinary transactions we commonly think that we can buy and "own" beer, in the grand scheme of things we more likely rent it.
