Hmmm... I've concluded that we should do what we feel is right. If you really feel that it's wrong to do so - even if everyone else around you is doing the exact opposite - then you should stick to your guns and do what you feel is right.
As you so rightly say, we all have to be accountable to God one day, and He challenges us all differently.
I guess its a bit like taking stationery from your work cupboard home. They company's never gonna miss a few pens and highlighters, but what that really is, is stealing, right? I guess if you draw that to the extreme, you should not even be using your work printer to print personal stuff - I occasionally print online recipes on my work printer and paper... In fact I shouldn't even be writing this post at work on company time!!
I guess everyone has to make up their own mind on how to act (according to God's word and the urging of the Holy Spirit) on these issues.
Hmmm... now I'm starting to feel really convicted...

God has placed me on earth to accomplish certain things.
Right now, I am so far behind that I will never die.
