I do not think I need to 'do anything' for you, I just wanted you to see that some Christians are capable of owning up to their mistakes, sins and failures, instead of always only pointing them out in others. I know you have had some negative experiences here on Blogit with Christians in the past ( maybe me as well in the beginning). That is why I have seemed to make a big deal out of this; because to me: it is a big deal. I must hold myself accountable, its the only way to grow as a person and as a Christian.
OK, enough sermonizing for now.

Wasn't trying to put you on a guilt trip there buddy.
Not fully sure about the conscious thing, but I do try. I have done things that I know are wrong and even now every so often I cross a line I know I should not. For me part of being moral is not fully about just the whole right and wrong thing as decided by others, but more about being true to one's self and one's beliefs. For me the main thing is to live up to the beliefs you claim to follow.
If you can not be true to yourself, then who can you be true to?
Of course to really do this you have to know yourself first and know just what you value and stand for. I think that is where a lot of people get confused. They do not know who they are or what values they really stand behind. If you do not know that, then you can not be true to anything really.
Okay, I'm gettin a bit deep here now.
But I do think you for the compliment.

You see Kooka, this is the problem with Christians
by and large. They send confusing and mixed messages, which I have done. By brazenly bragging about an act of theft. I am not totally sure if what I did was in fact a crime, but my gut feeling now is that it is. My thoughts at the time would be that you would react with something like: "Right on, you got the movie!" But that was a foolish and irresponsible assumption of me in light of my preaching here. Frankly, it was stupid of me.
Anyway, thanks for not letting me get away with that. You are proving to me that you are quite an honest and integrity driven person who does not ignore even the slightest flicker of conscience.

I am not really sure if what I did was theft since it is available for download and I have no intention of distributing it, it is for my own private use. But, I did not pay for it. Maybe what I did was wrong. Now that I think about it, since you point it out, maybe it was theft. Yes, I must be honest with myself. It was bad judgement.
I think you are perfectly right to point out my hypocrisy here. I thank you for your honesty.
What I am going to do now is destroy the DVD. I am admitting freely that I was wrong and made myself out to be a hypocrite.
