Something's wrong

I was interested in some theological materials on a website. Most of its contents required (free) registration. Here are the set of information the website asks for during registration. The symbol "*" indicates a required field.

* Email Address
* First Name
* Last Name
* Password
* Country
* Province
City
Phone
* Gender
Year of Birth
* Education
*Year accepted Christ
* Church Country
* Province/Region of Church
Church City
* Church
* full-time pastoral staff or missionary or seminary student
Serving Position
Referral

I did not mind providing my real information for the sake of receiving the service it provided. But then I noticed that the personal information it asked for was to be submitted through an unencrypted network connection. So I wrote a couple of emails to its webmaster regarding the issue. Below are my emails and the response from its webmaster.

Dear <my name>,

We believe that our system is secured. Actually what information you are going to be record in our system: address, only city and no number of road, no postal code, no date of birth but only year, no...but...

If you think these informations are important to you and do not want to be record, then even if you send a fax or mail, there will be a chance that someone may steal them during the process.

The decision is yours, you need to believe us and God, especially this is a Christian organization, will God protect it?

Webmaster, <initial of their website name>

Subject: <Their website name>: Secured registration option

Dear Sir/Madam,

I was going to register on the website but later noticed that the registration page that asked me for my personal information wasn't secured. In other words, the information could be stolen during transmission easily as it would be transmitted without proper encryption.

Is there a secure way I can register to the website?

Thank you.

Blessings,
<My name>

I was shocked when I received the webmaster's response. Wasn't it a legitimate for me to concern about the safety of my personal information? It would be easily understood if the reason was the lack of resources to implement better security for the registration process. But that did not seem to be the case according to the response I got. In front of our Lord, how do we strike a balance between the desire for security and the faith in Him? Are the two really mutually exclusive? My answer seems to be no. Satan is the king on the earth, until the final battle is won. Jesus permitted us to protect ourselves from harmful elements in this life. This is based on my understanding on Luke 22:35-38. Given we share the same faith, we should get into an agreement, as Christians are not meant to have unresolved conflicts. I am not seeking a simple workaround. Or I could have already completed the online registration with fortified information. I am still on the path to come up with an acceptable solution to both parties.
