    I don't do exploitative web browsing on the phone, just occasional known sites. And the cost of the phone was about what you would pay for a feature phone. You are overthinking this... or maybe you just like having something to talk about.

    There is a happy medium though. I have an inexpensive android and buy prepaid for 12$ a month. That comes with 250 mb of data which is enough for looking up addresses and occasional browsing. I don't have any of my email or other accounts set up on the phone so security is not an issue.

    The new testament is very clear that it has deprecated most of the laws from the old testament. That's why it's okay to eat pork and things like that. Nobody picks or chooses anything. Really the only laws that stand from the old testament are the 10 commandments and they are reasonable enough.
