Take a trip back in time with me to Confirmation class. Remember memorizing the Ten Commandments? Then say the Seventh Commandment with me: You shall not steal. What does this mean? We should fear, love, and trust in God so that we do not take our neighbor’s money or possessions, or get them in any dishonest way, but help him to improve and protect his possessions and income. Excellent! Now that we’ve all quoted that, we can give ourselves a mental pat on the back, because we know better than to steal, don’t we? We would never stoop to stealing. It’s wrong, and we know that. Or do we?
