[QUOTE="Greeter, post: 746047, member: 2857"] Not all RPGs are satanic but many do have the potential for it. Probably an over simplified way of looking at it is asking the question "is it Godly or not?" If it is not Godly, unless you believe in a middle ground, then it is satanic. Even if there is a middle ground it is possible for games to cross into the satanic. Going by the above, how could a vampire game, where all the characters are vampires, serve God? There are ways to do it but for the most part people who play vampire games, like LARPs (Live Action Role Playing), like to play vampires as they are portrayed in movies and books. Vampires have trouble so much as looking upon the cross, get burned if they touch it, are cursed to walk the night, and often feed on the weak. The only people I have ever witnessed who view vampirism as being anything less then a curse are Christians. Everyone else is usually pretty happy to play a creature that is considered to be demonic. As for "and fun when it isn't harming anyone is good!", while that can be accurate in many cases I think, we as Christians, need to be careful with it. What about such games as Grand Theft Auto 3 and Vice City? Playing these games doesn't harm anyone so that means they are ok? In a roleplaying game you can pretty much play out anything that you can imagine. What if a group of gamers wanted to play a campaign were the object was to kill as many innocent people as possible? It may sound farfetched to a non-gamer but after 23 years in the hobby I have seen many such games. Would you be comfortable playing such a game? If you wanted to, you could play as Jesus in a roleplaying game, but would it be considered blasphemous? It doesn't harm anyone so it must be ok, right? Just something to think about. [/QUOTE]
