First, I don't even know what "Credo" is, so I feel safe in stating that it is not the summary of my dogma (yes, I am a Christian). Judging by the fact that the gibberish at the bottom of your post looks like Latin, I'm guessing you're referring to Catholics in particular. Please remember that "Christian" is a title given to everyone that is a follower of Christ. We don't always agree on the "right" way to do that, hence the division in the Church (i.e., Catholics, Protestants, even Mormons (though most Christians will deny that Mormons are Christians)). Please don't lump all Christians into the beliefs of some Catholics. Pretty much the only thing that all Christians agree on is that Jesus existed and was the son of God. Just about everything else is debated between the different denominations.
Second, as a general rule, we Christians believe in we will be resurrected, not reincarnated. Big difference. The Hindus believe in reincarnations, not Christians. Reincarnation indicates that you will be reborn into a new body. That is not the case in Christian resurrection.
There is however no economic loss occuring Hmmm. I'd like to run that opinion by all the people that have lost jobs due to their company's lost sales. I think they may report that there was some economic loss occuring.
"you can't enforce any limits on something you give away for free"
Following this logic, how is the GPL license enforced on open-source or free software? Since they gave it away for free, does that mean I can disregard any license they have attached to it?
Along the same lines, if I purchase Windows whatever, then apply the "free" service pack, does it lose it's license since the "free" files have replaced the paid-for files and it is no longer the same software attached to the license I agreed to? Is the license M$ attaches to service packs and updates really non-binding simply because they were offered for free?

Not entirely accurate.

John Deere has plants all over the place. I worked for a while for them in Waterloo, IA.
Fact is, anything outside of Texas is a liberal lie. We know the world really consists of just Texas and water.
I'm not being a smart-ass, I'm really curious...
