Check it out. I spent all of saturday getting rid of a virus on my computer. What a waste of time. It was my own fault for trying to crack some software illegally. Afterwards I was reading my bible and I started to get mad at software piracy. I realised stealing was still my master. It appears almost normal in the church that we hand around pirated software. God convicted me that it just isn't worth it. It's all going to be burnt in the pit of fire and brimstone on judgement day, and it's not something I can take with me when I leave this world. Matthew 18:18 is Jesus talking to the church, and he says "Whatever you permit on earth with be permitted in heaven, and whatever you allow on earth will be allowed in heaven". Well, I don't know about you, but I don't want some saint ripping my software off for eternity. Well okay, so that's not accurate, but you get what I mean. This is how furious I was at it.
In fact, using illegal software makes me just the same as someone from this world (as opposed to someone set apart as God's own holy child). I took a hammer and smashed up every single illegal CD, movie, software, and document; and I deleted every mp3 file that was illegal and cleaned out my hard drive: uninstalled every piece of software I was using that wasn't legit, and left nothing of the kind standing. And I'm not bad off now. I feel victorious.
Sorry about the bad video, but that wasn't my focus:
