What games should Christians not play?

[YoungJoonKim]

Well, wow lol where is this topic going..porn or game?
I play Medieval Total War II
such a wonderful game, to be honest. Thinking lot
It doesn't have lots of violence, just war. Almost no blood but I can't really explain, this game doesn't feel bad as others ex. shooting games.

Anyways, you simply don't understand effects of pornography addiction Dannager. Let's just "go away" from the religious* doctrine, it's deadly as killing somebody. In fact, pornography can lead a person to kill somebody. It's been proven and has been committed ALL ACROSS America and the world. It's sin, alright. Sin is deadly as in physical, mental, and spiritual.

Anything, if obsessed over enough, can force someone to kill another person.

I present to you, exhibit A: Christianity.

Your witness.

 

[Dust and Ashes]

Indeed. Those Soviet atheists did a pretty good number on the human population too, not to mention how dangerous things are in certain areas of the Middle East because of religion. Obsession, while a decent perfume, is generally a bad thing. Mustn't forget Adolf's obsession with creating a master race.

Are you saying Christianity is subjected to pornography? (not making fire here, just questioning)
That killing of pornography is caused by one's desire for satisfy themselves and this, which leads to rape then kill.
However, radical Christians believe in what they believe, it's NOT addiction like pornography.. not that I'm defending radical Christians who kills because what they think is justified, I can't compare these two different issues.

Unless I misread something terribly, I took him to be saying extreme Christians have been known to kill people, and use this as an example of how obsession to the extreme is bad.

Yes, that's what he was saying.

Would you care to clarify yourself, or at least back yourself up with some evidence?


Anyways, games are just games, and violence is much worse than pornography, real or animated

 

[Steezie]

Of course not, you aren't Christian. It's kind of like how you say you won't play God of War because it might anger Ares. Someone who doesn't believe in Ares might say, "Dude, it's just a game, it's not real." Because the content might lead you against your personal ethos, their advice can't really apply to your situation.

Ares is also irrational and often un-predictable. God is supposed to be benevolent.

I'm just saying that anything obsessed over enough can cause someone to commit inhuman acts such as murder and/or rape, including religion - and Christianity is no excuse to the rule.

And pornography does not create psycopathic murderers and rapists. They were mentally unstable to begin with. In fact, I'd much rather now that there is a rapist out there watching pornography instead of going out into the streets and acting out his sick fantasies because he can't use porn as a release.

However, none of this has any relevance to the topic, so I'll leave it at that. PM box is always open, though.

You guys. This is one lengthy topic here.
I don't think there is any list that can be made of unacceptable games. There ARE unacceptable games, but only some will recognize this.

Most people go over board one way or another.

 

[Lumen]

I really don't agree. I don't think there are any games that are unacceptable for everyone. Everything is subjective.

 

[Mrs. Enigma]

Are you speaking of games that exist, or you just don't feel that anything in a game could ever be wrong?

I think most things are subjective. But not all.

I think that some things in a game are wrong for certain people, and ok for others.

 

[Lumen]

Games that exist, or future games. While something in a game might not be in good taste, that doesn't make it wrong for everyone.

For example, the Grand Theft Auto series. I'm sure most christians find them shocking, offensive, and unacceptable. I love them, and they're really not as bad as people make them out to be. You don't like violence or cursing? Don't play the games, simple as that. But don't say it's wrong for everyone to play them.

 

[Mrs. Enigma]

So, like child porn and stuff too...or does it end somewhere...I mean is Liesure Suit Larry the limit...or no?

 

[Lumen]

Well, since child porn is illegal, I highly doubt that there would ever be a game made out of it.

I think it does end somewhere, but there hasn't been one game made yet that crosses the line in my opinion.

I highly doubt that'll ever become a game or be put into any mainstream media. EVER. As for Leisure Suit Larry, well, that's hardly the extent to where games will go. That game is cheeky and meant to be humorous at most and the only way to get the full AO rated game is to buy it from the website, so for children to get a hold of it would be very very difficult.

Like I said, things here in the states are hardly the extent many games have gone. Take a look at the games produced only in and for Japan. They excel in sexual games and we in violent ones, I think sums it up pretty well.

 

[thedream233]

christians shouldn't play Doom... or should they?

 

[Lytmare]

Doom an't as bad as other games, your killing other people in it.
But what about James Bond? I doubt anybody would say its EVIL! but he's shooting people from start to finish!
In Doom, your killing creepy, nasty zombies.

If we tried to ban all violent games, think how boring it would get.
Some people even go overboard and say MARIO is violent!!!
WHAT WOULD WE PLAY?

 

[Lumen]

Games where an evangelist runs around handing tracts to "lost souls". /sarcasm

Why, you ask?

Because you go around STEALING the bedsheet ghosts' precious dots!
