Uhhh??
Pirating is morally wrong, (for the most part, I guess) and the specific content of the music or what else doesn't make it any better.

This isn't exactly flaming as it's more of finding and pointing out a fault in your claim. Pirating is pirating, Christian material or not.


As for myself and pirating? I don't care much for it, or if others do it, I just (usually) feel pretty bad.
I find myself feeling awful if I pirate entire programs.
Games, not as much, depending how new.
Like, I'm pretty okay with pirating GBC games due to their availibility.

I have a Bible app with a bunch of different translations on my iPod touch. It's just called "Holy Bible," and it's free. I have mine set to split the screen between the KJV translation (the classic English Bible translation, despite its flaws), and the BBE ("Bible in Basic English," a more recent and easier to read translation, and probably more accurate). I don't use the app much, though, because I don't really like reading the Bible.

Why do you have the app, if you just read your paper version?

Why not? It's a nice reference to have, sometimes I do read it, and it's a great resource during debates or when I'm teaching someone about mythology.

I claim nothing about the veracity of mythology, or the bible itself. The Bible is definitely mythology. Some people also think the Bible is true. These are not mutually exclusive states.

Even if they were mutually exclusive, it's still a good tool. Let's pretend (and it will be easy for you, harder for others) that the Bible is true. Let's also pretend I'm teaching a small mythology class. I might bring up Flood myths, like the Epic of Gilgamesh. It would be useful to point out any parallels to Noah's Flood. Just like it's useful for me to point out other, historical floods that we may know of from that general time period: Many myths have their basis in reality, and if I think that reality can be found in a Bible, then it's a good tool to show where the myths of some ancient cultures came from.

Like I said, it's a good tool, if I'm debating or teaching mythology ;>

That's understandable, I suppose...
I myself enjoy a good mythology story every now and then. :3
