GN Commentary: April 1, 2009 - Conficker and the FoolWe may avoid contact with the conficker c. computer virus. But there will always be another, perhaps more dangerous one, coming through the Web. Somebody is always trying to take what belongs to us.

tell you what my problem is not—it is not fear of some co-worker
catching me with an April fool's joke! My problem is much bigger
than that! But it does have something to do with April fools day. We may avoid contact with this virus. But there will always be another, perhaps more dangerous one, coming through the Web. Somebody is always trying to take what belongs to us. At some level the person who wrote the conficker virus program knows that he is breaking man-made laws. But if you asked the author of this malicious virus whether he believes in God he would likely laugh in your face. He has probably long since rejected the very idea of a creator God who set in motion laws to govern human conduct. Listen to this searing comment from the Bible about those who believe God is dead. "The fool has said in his heart, 'There is no God'" (Psalm 14:1) Ah, the fool! We can pretty much bet that the author of the conficker c. virus believes there is no God. He's convinced that if he can evade man's laws, he is home safe. He expects to make a killing at our expense and he probably thinks triggering this virus on April-first is funny. But the joke's on him. I may have a problem with my computer, but he has a bigger problem. God has his number and sooner or later he will have to repent or pay for his crime with his life. Who do you think is the real April fool? For GN Magazine, I'm Larry Salyer.
