:roll: Wow, just wow...

It's called stealing genius and I'm pretty sure it is covered in the bible. Maybe you could look it up in the table of contents or something.

you answered your own question..lol
 
Just cross out any sections you don't like. I've heard many parts were just added by scribes anyway, like the "you who is without sin, cast the first stone" bit. You could start your own sect just for the internet generation.

Who give a crap what the bible says? I don't need religion to tell me what I should and should not do. I don't illegally download movies/games/software, nor do I commit any other immoral or illegal acts. I don't live my life the way I do because I fear god or what awaits me in the afterlife. I live my life the way I do because that's how I was raised and because I believe you should treat people how you want to be treated. Things don't happen for a reason...they just happen. You make your own life and you deal with the decisions you make. That is it.

I'm not so sure the Bible would consider it stealing. Did they consider someone making a duplicate copy of the Bible to be stealing it? Illegally downloading songs is copyright infringement, not stealing. However, as Mosh pointed out, God honors man's laws.

Are bibles free?
 
From what I know, there were actually 15 commandments, but Moses could only carry 10 down from the mountain at the time, so God said fuck it and scrapped the last 5. I've heard rumors that the 14th commandment was something like, "Thou shalt not infringe upon the copyrights of others".

As a matter of fact, yes they are. You can download the entire Bible for free. Now, if you want to get one from the store, you'll have to pay in order to compensate some company for printing it and binding it in an attractive leather cover, plus a little profit for the company. But, there is no copyrights... You can download the Bible and print 100 copies to give away to all your friends if you want.

Pretty sure Sony considers that stealing.
 
Jesus made copies of fish and bread and shared it with all the people that wanted. The breadmakers and fishermen were probably very pissed at him. But with that Jesus thought us to share with your peers.

QFT. Jesus stole from fish and bread merchants.


A) Jesus was a thief
or
B) Copying property and distributing it among lots of people is legal.

There is no telling how much profit the bread bakers lost.

While they were eating, Jesus' PC received some spam. He said the blessing, printed it out, and giving the printout to his disciples said, "Take and eat, this is my body."
Then he opened a browser window, downloaded some porn onto DVD-R's, and gave it to them, saying, "This is my blood. That's blood you sick people, not some other fluid."


Man, that whole section there could be really really dirty.


Jesus' pants: (un)zzzzziiiiippp
"Drink from it, all of you."

Then, after singing a hymn, they went out to Mount Oliv[ia].

Jesus said to him, "Amen, I say to you, this very night before the cock crows, you will deny me three times."

Hey Beavis, he said "cock." Huh huh, huh huh, cool.

According to the Bible, unless a man-made law conflicts with a god-made law, the man-made laws will be respected by God and He made it a sin to break them.

It's pretty much like US Federal Constitution versus the state constitutions.

I don't think that was in the original writings.

No, it's easy.

The average bread merchant probably makes $15 per loaf, which contains about 20 songs...I mean portions.

Since Jesus fed 5000 men, plus slightly more women and children, that's (12000/20)*$15, or $9000 exactly.
That is how much money they lost, just as if He'd stolen the bread directly, and Jesus should be liable for every penny. Plus damages.
 
I am pretty sure it is. I however, am planning on an death-bed absolution by accepting Christ then all my sins will be absolved.
