Video Games are Evil?

[Sock Full of Boiled Dimes]

I'm a Christian (though not consistantly practicing), but this has got to be one of the most extremist views I have seen in a great while. I was hoping it was a joke, but I dunno if it is or not.

Sheesh, I swear most Christians are not like this.

I think they analysing the games too much lol
and since most of the games are about fighting demons and monsters it is only natural to have pentagrams in there.

[Kyoushu]

Isn't Doom about fighting off the armies of Hell? Sounds pretty anti-evil to me.

^I agree with Legacy

[MeneerDijk]

Well, when are we going to see the release of Grand Salvation Auto: Jerusalem?
Btw, the color scheme of that website is unholy to say the least!

I think the writer is just shooting fish in a barrel. And the only purpose of this page is to get some publicity; Let's target something easy so we make the news. After they're done with videogames they'll go back to targeting Disney or something.

[UNREFINED SARCASM]

O.K. Let's make a game that would seriously seem like it worships the devil, but at the end when you beat it, it says praise... Damn give me a name here!

[Kass]

Things cannot be evil. Evil is a state of being that requires thought and malice that can be acted upon. An inanimate object can neither think nor act.

[Jetsetlemming]

OMG leik, the game about killing demons and fighting the devil is made to propogate satan worship! :(

[UNREFINED SARCASM]

Exactlyyougot it.

[Scott]

EVIl - Electronic Video Illusions.

Yep.

[Tibs]

I read the paragraph of this and just stopped.

FOR FUCKS SAKE THE GAME IS SET IN HELL OF COURSE THERE'S GOING TO BE SATANIC SYMBOLS DIE YOU ARROGANT FAGGOT.

Thank you.

Who is this 'Andrew', and who actually listens to what he says? :watson:

[Dahvood]

I have to laugh. Go to thier main page - http://www.jesus-is-lord.com

Guess where that figure comes from? Diablo - another game featuring pentagrams, demons and magic, hahaha

Man, what a joke.

[Black Dog]

俺も暗黒が好きだ。ビデオゲームが悪いでも楽しいだ。

悪魔万歳！！！

悪魔万歳！！！

悪魔万歳！！！

[erbiumfiber]

Wow, Andrew even denounces Christian rock as evil (umm, I can think of other adjectives, but not evil).

Video games don't stand a chance with Andrew...

[Josh]

Now that he mentioned it, when I do put in the cheat for God Mode, I do feel like God. One time I tried to summon a storm to flood the Earth for 40 days and 40 nights, but then all that happened was I tried too hard and peed a little bit. It was pretty sad.

[InSo]

'What blasphemy! He actually thinks God owes him something, when he owes God! And like usual, he denies salvation. In another NIN song, Heresy, Reznor denies the resurrection of Jesus Christ!'

I owe 'god' nothing. It's stuff like this which lowers my opinion of religion considerably.

Seriously, people like this drive me fucking mad. They take everything literally, its just a game or music, created purely for our entertainment, there is no deeper meaning to any of it. Just enjoy what's around, stop trying to look far into everything!

[Mastiker]

When he bashes afterlife, it makes no sense...I'm not even sure he's bashing it. But he's saying "oh, this is satan's work" about how you can have different religions for the people? XD That's crazy.

[Plekto]

Corruption is inevetable.

Embrace it and get past it.

[UNREFINED SARCASM]

Yes, Satin is bad.

[Roxie]

Yes, Satin is bad.
Oh, especially when it's warm and humid! It sticks to you like GLUE!

Always make sure your satin clothes have cotton liners. It'll be much more comfortable that way.

[Josh]

Yeah, this guy and the ones like him are why I love Xians. The regular ones are cool, but sometimes one comes around and you've just gotta laugh at it. But every religion has these types of people so eh. Its universal.

You know you like that... "Xians." Haha!

[Beowulf]

These are the same people who said this same shit about Dungeons and Dragons twenty years ago. This is nothing new, they just modified to fit more current technology.

[Trump]

Where do you find this stuff?

I don't know about you, but I tend to avoid and ignore idiots unless they do something comical.

I remember seeing Afterlife in a game store when I was younger and even less financially solvent. I wanted to play it but couldn't afford it at MSRP. I intended to wait until it got old enough that the price went down, but it just disappeared off the shelves maybe a year later without any significant price cuts.

I had forgotten about it until this thread reminded me. Time to troll abandonware sites for it... :bwitch:

I tried, but its copyright protected.

I kinda of glad I don't really have a religon (used to kinda of be a christian mainly by association) I pretty much take in the world around me and just say ehhh who really knows what death is like, thinking the christian way cause me to have a mental breakdown that still happens every once in a while.

Two can play the pedantics game!

Yes, things can be evil.

From Merriam Webster:
adj. 1 a : morally reprehensible : SINFUL, WICKED <an evil impulse>
3 a : causing harm : PERNICIOUS <the evil institution of slavery>
noun. 2 : something that brings sorrow, distress, or calamity

His irrepressible urge to ban videogames is one reason I didn't vote for Joe Lieberman and his bosom buddy in 2000. Google "Lieberman Grand Theft Auto" or "Lieberman ban videogames" and you'll get some choice quotes from the senator about the horrors of having fun.

[Kusoyaro]

Merriam Webster is shit. use Oxford, the only one that matters.
Video games aren't evil. Certainly they SEEM to encourage traits we'd rather not youth to display, but violence, teen pregnancies and such has gone DOWN in most places as the realism in games continues to increase. notice the correlation? Google it or whatever, i'm not dossed about giving proof.

Actually in Japan, the rate of abortion is pretty high - enough to tip their growth rate unto slightly negative numbers.
