I don't need no stinkin' badges... lol

What do you think about this? I read the bible on my tablet using a certain software. The software is great and allows me to switch between KJV or ESV versions, make notes, bookmarks, share passages or comments with others online.

However, it 'rewards' me for reading the bible with various mile marker awards. The software sends me rewards for going through various plans or reading and meeting certain markers. I don't know what they are. Is it odd for me to not like the rewards? I think that it is an okay concept but then people who are deeply rooted in the bible for the right reasons will start to notice the rewards rather than the intended purpose. In other words, I could see myself, and others, getting all happy and maybe even proud over a silly reward and start looking for that as my goal instead of my closeness of Him. Possibly even rushing through it instead of gleaning the message it was supposed to impart of us.

I don't know, I just wish I could shut that feature off. My reward is in the knowledge and enlightenment and connection with God, not a silly award for doing what I crave to do....
