Well, yeah. I mean, if your dad says not to play it, then don't. However, if I was in your position...then I would probably devote more of my time to attending available churches, attending a/some local bible studies or seeing if you can organize some. I don't know, that's just me. Like I said, it's your choice, Primebuster.

Just to clear up something; I didn't actually begin this thread, I posted my first response on page 5 wondering how people who have been playing the game too much have balanced out thier lives properly and are still able to play. Just asking for some advice, but really I have been only playing for around 3 hours per day for the past few days and It seems to be working a treat. My dad has no problems with me playing the game, he knows I know the difference between reality and fiction, actually It was me who was a Christian before he was :thumbsup:

praise the Lord :clap:

Responding to your reply, I haven't actually used the game as an excuse to skip church or anything. I Probably wouldn't play the game at all if I stayed closer to where all my christian buddies stay.

If your father doesn't want to to play, then as long as you are living in his house, don't play. You won't be there forever, it won't kill you to wait a while.

I understand, believe me. When I was a teen, my parents believed that if my hair touched my ears, it was a horrible sin. They thought the Beatles were evil. They wouldn't let me read Mad Magazine. Parents can be nutty, sometimes. ;)

i play, i have no porblems. i just reaccepted God into my life.. and im still going to play.. but im going to pace myself, im not gonna play nonstop. just a few hours a day.
it has nothing to do with reality, so what if you cast a spell in the game.. does that mean youre all of a sudden in real life gonna want to do withcraft? no.
but everyone has different opinions. but mine is that its not evil.. and it all depends on how you take things.

You're not going to get anywhere by calling those that don't agree with your opinion stupid.

And if you've actually read any of the following posts in this thread, you would realize NONE of them are defending the game just because they say it's "fun"
All are giving very good reasons as to why it's not an "Evil" game.

ok.. i can see where youre coming from.. but seriously, the thing about WoW lookin g like someone is sucking the soul out of you is a little hard for me to believe.. it kinda sounds like youre just looking for things to say..

the hissing noise is merely a sound effect.

how do you know "the greatest enemy of the world remains unseen" is satan?

i dont know if you played.. but the enemy of the WoW world is The Burning Legion which is lead by a king that wanted power or something of that sort x)

also... blood elves do not resemble angels.. theyre elves... an immortal being that has increased skill in acrobatics... what makes you think theyre angels?

one more thing.. how is the devil taking souls of players? the game is just pixels on a screen...

but everyone has different opinions, thats just mine. i can totally understand where youre all coming from on saying its evil though, at first glance without playing it would appear that way :)

No it's not. It's the Burning Legion. Also, it's obvious that the inspiration for the Burning Legion lies with traditional demons and the like, many of which have their roots in biblical mythology. That doesn't mean this has anything to do with Satan, and it certainly doesn't mean that it is a tool of his.
2. blood elves are like angels "the blood elves turned away from there former comrades" said something about them trying to gain power
Or, y'know, they're just examples of a classic case of corruption for the sake of power, a societal archetype visible in any number of fictional works.
3. the obreviation looks like someone is sucking the soul out of you (WoW)
This is conspiracy-theory nonsense. It doesn't look anything like what you describe.
4. talks about madev=devil talks about him opening the dark portal
Medivh was possessed by Sargeras, urged to open the portal so that Sargeras' orc forces could reach the tomb of his body. Medivh himself serves simply as a guardian of the mortal races, and for the most part appears to serve noble purposes. It is rather obvious that any similarities you see between the Medivh character and the devil are minor and circumstantial.
5. why tehre is a snake on the login screen is un answered
Why does it bother you? Snakes are seen as symbols of evil in modern culture, a perception that is at this point completely separate from its biblical roots. There is no reason to assume that the game is a tool of Satan simply because it uses a snake as a symbol of evil.
6. hissing noise like a serpant at the end of the trailor when "burning crusade" flahses
That's not hissing. That's an exhalation of breath or simply a whooshing sound. You're trying too hard to find support for your claim.
7. serpant on top of the door to the login screen its the same dark portal from the trailor on login screen
Of course it is, what's your point? The Dark Portal is an iconic location in the Warcraft universe, and as it also serves as a gateway to lands beyond it makes sense to display it at the login screen (which is itself a gateway to the game).
8. burning crusade=devils return "the burning crusade...IS NOW!"
Demons, technically, but what's your point? The looming enemy is a legion of demons, therefore the game is evil? What kind of nonsense logic is that?
9. burning crusade makes sence as evil
What, would you prefer that the primary enemy for the expansion be an organization of good-guys?
10. the game itself is perfectly fine but i believe satan is takeing souls of the players or something bazaar like that take me seriosly
It's pretty tough to take you seriously when I hear things like "The abbreviation 'WoW' looks like someone sucking out your soul." I pass by Blizzard's offices nearly every day. I'll be sure to let you know if I see the minions of Satan paying the company a visit.

For some time, I was seriously wondering if this was all a joke. But now I see that you seriously think this game is evil.

Let me give you some tips, you're not going to convince anyone with those points that the game is evil. If it's a personal conviction of yours that the game sucks the sould from those that play it, then don't play it! As for those that do, I guess they'll just continue to have their souls sucked out :p
