That sounds like a cool god, what other crimes does he let you commit?
:)
He said in the Koran"We will not change a nation unless they change themselve",You see God gives us freewill as a test,I don't think i've done very good at that test though,oh yeah btw this freewill is only to an extent,He willed that mankind has freewill unlike most of His creations,that's why we are the Khalifa/Leader on Earth as stated in the Koran"And We will create Khalifa(man/human) on Earth"Quote:

GOD lives in my Pants!!!!!
:lol: :D :lol:
lol i like the way god follows the rules we make up ourselves, I don't remember a bit in the bible which says
thou shalt not infringe on copyright
just cos its against the law doesn't mean that its against god's law.

It has been explained to me as a matter for one's own conscience, many years ago and in relation to everything, not just file sharing.
If you look honestly at your conscience and consider what you are doing and can honestly say that you do not believe it is stealing, then it is not. However if you honestly think that it is stealing and you continue to do it then you are stealing the files.
This is obviously an ethical argument as opposed to a legal one. The issue of mens rea is important in the legal argument, but is different from this one. Mens rea is knowing that the thing you are doing is against the law (it is not a consideration on whether you think it should be or not).
