OK, I know this is not Philosophy or Morality but I don't see much Christian games online so here's a silly one I found:

Actually, what DO you think of games like this? Do they have any meaning or effect or are they just someone wasting their time on trivial nonsense while they could have used their time better promoting the word of God or some other good cause?

I say it's a good speed-typing exercise.
Maybe some will find it meaningful, but I don't know how many will be motivated by typing words repeatedly.
I'd assume the person who made the game is doing other things to promote the Word, but you know what they say when you assume...

Does anybody remember the wisdom tree games for NES. Man those were great.

I suppose you could see the games as an educational tool, or at least "safe" compared to other games (at the very least). Or I even suppose you could see ALL video games as a waste of time.

I thought it was sort of mindless. (yet I played for about five minutes so what does that say about me?)



I can’t quite see how anyone would get any sort of religious or spiritual meaning out of something like this.

I missed the link on the game itself, I think the made the game to promote a board game they've developed. I suppose that kind of makes sense. I suppose viral marketing is something that works on the net. I've had loads of games from the likes of HP and Coke to promote their brand. Maybe this is a way for Christians to spread the word as well?
