Everything That's On My Mind

 Thursday, October 12, 2006

I ran across this article in the LA Times and it struck a raw nerve with me. It seems I'm regularly confronted by Christians who seem to think piracy is just something Johnny Depp does in the movies. Unfortunately, illegal downloading, swapping, and copying of copyrighted material (primarily music and movies) is just as rampant among Christians as it is in the rest of society. There's one very simple verse that addresses this behavior.

"You shall not steal."

“The single greatest cause of atheism in the world today is Christians, who acknowledge Jesus with their lips, then walk out the door, and deny Him by their lifestyle. That is what an unbelieving world simply finds unbelievable”

Our radio station here mentioned this the other day and I have to say I was shocked that so many Christians thought it was ok to take the music! Are we as parents not training our kids right when it comes to this, and other ethical issues? Shame on us as parents, because regardless of what anyone might say to justify themselves, training starts at home...
