yugioh?

[Sonic 5442]

Hi. I recently started liking yugioh (the cards and anime) and am wondering... is it bad? I've heard people thinking it's bad before and just wanted to know what everyone thought.

I don't think it's bad, I think of it as any other card game... but have my doubts because of some of what I've heard. I don't want to be doing anything immoral but I'm not worshipping these cards... I just think they're cool.

when i was 7 the yugioh brand had just came to america and i was hooked. around the same time i started losing my faith. even after i got saved i refused to beleive it was anything more then a card game.
but lets look at the facts.

you are summoning "monsters" in the anime its from the "shadow realm"

you are using magic cards to increace your own power and decrease your opponents power.

you have to "sacrafice" the weak to summon stronger "monsters"

the female "monsters" are usually very scantly clad and often times are in very provocative positions

and the 3 most powerful "monsters" in the game are the "god cards"

it was very hard for me to break my habit of wasting my time on this game becuase satan used it as a foothold in my life. at the very least its a waste of time and money at the worst its the new ouijia board, neither option is appealing. i pray your ears are more open then mine were. if you feel convicted by what i say then you should burn the cards you have and seek to use that time for the LORD.
God bless you

I don't think there's an absolute answer to "is it bad." The series doesn't take itself seriously enough to be trying to convey its contents as truth (e.g. ancient Egyptian mythology). I personally have a hard time taking almost any series seriously enough to think that it's trying to do anything else than tell a story about something that takes place in a made up universe where things clearly work differently from our own.

That aside, I used to play the actual card game a lot too (I technically still do from time to time when it comes up, but I think I'm done buying new cards). I can see how the terminology in a lot of the game's aspects could be suspect, but I don't think that terminology alone can make a game bad. What's bad is when people take the game too seriously and start buying into the mythology, even in the slightest.

To the poster above me, I’m sorry this game has come to represent a difficult time in your life, but clearly its not for you, and I’m glad you were strong enough to get away from something that was putting such a damper on your walk with God.

However, I can’t believe the game/series alone is an automatic source of spiritual conflict. I personally don’t have any real problems with Yugioh, so long as it’s all kept in good fun. So, my advice is, if playing the game or viewing the series is actually interfering with your walk with God, then maybe it’s no good for you. But don’t let other people decide what’s right and wrong for you, that’s up to God, and you’ll know if He’s saying He doesn’t want something in your life.

Yes, Yugioh is bad, very bad. It makes Higurashi No Naku Koro Ni look like family friendly content. I even heard that it makes your TV posessed with the spirit of the Pharaoh. In order to get rid of the Pharaoh, you must break all the windows in your room, throw your TV and Blu-ray player out of the window and burn your cards in a trash-bin. Otherwise, you're going to the Shadow Realm.

(Sorry if you take this the wrong way, I've been up all night working on an essay for English class)

....its a trading card game not pedophilia...
you aren't breaking your moral conduct by skipping Church for a day. If you were impaled in the chest by a flag post and had to go to the hospital on the Sabbath, are you a sinner? NO.

As for the anime/manga adaption the only sinful thing I see there is how corny it is since it is intended to please a children audience.

 

[Musician4Jesus]

If you can tell the difference between fiction and reality, why would it be sinful to play this game? I realize that there are verses in Scripture that say witchcraft, magic, idol worship, etc. are sinful.

However unless you actually go and become a witch, wizard, try to cast spells, dabble in the occult etc. in real life, how are you doing anything wrong?

The only way this would be idol worship is if you treated this card game as more important as your relationship with God; the only way you'd be doing that is if playing this game is (hypothetically) more important than going to church, reading the Bible, worshiping God, ministering to others, etc. etc. etc.


I even read somewhere that some Christians believe it is indirectly worshiping idols because the anime is based on Egyptian gods. How?! Unless you decide to convert to the 'religion' the pharoah in the anime adhered to, and worship the gods used in the game, I fail to see how you are using these as idol worship.

No, it's not bad, it doesn't posses your TV, it has nothing to do with Satan or anything that's bad, it's just a god dang anime! A fiction one! And no Satan didn't make you watch the anime to just get you away from God or anything, you just got disdistracted and it was your fault. The cards? Oh, yea it's not like you'll be playing them like in the anime, like jeez people get real! It's also not sinful, guys! It's just an anime, not real. OK?! Jeez, these people..

I definitely get a Satanic vibe from them. It's literally about ghosts and demons, dude.

It's all in what you make of it.

Not always. Some things are objectively harmful, whether we realize it or not.

 

[ripple the car]

Why waste one's time given to them by God by playing card and video games normalizing the occult?

Do you have any idea how many cards and items in the game are angels and the like? That's in there, too.

It's not occult. It's a mix of mythology, random ideas, and jokes someone took seriously.

No, it isn't.

Yes I think it is because yugi's milleniam puzzle is up side down which represents the unholy trinity. the holy trinity is an up right triangle. Satan's is down so idolatry if concerning the bible I'm guessing pretty sure is because it's a engraved image maybe not carved but yes I think so.exodus 20: 4-5 Dueteronomy 4:15-24 I love card games next to beer and cussing so yes it may open portals to demons or dimensional rift cycles to our plain of existence so run stay away from it confess it to God he will forgive you so now you know. Satan HATES you he's a bastard for a reason and he will do ANYTHING to ruin you even for what you may like be careful friend.

I think it's bad here's why it's considered idolatry because if it's so then it states Exodus 20:4-5 and Dueteronomy 4:15-16 don't worship things images created by man anything. Picture could be considered this look at yugi moto millenniam puzzle. the God head has an upright triangle if so the the upside down gives you a clue that's it represents satan. And yami yugi well yami means dark uses the dark magician and seto kaiba uses the white dragon but lucifer is the dragon the great beast in revelations who fought Micheal in heaven Revelation 12:7:9 so why white dragon right? yugioh is totally satanic. Look at they're faces they look like they're full of hate. Ok summoning though well it seems to be that's usually a term by to summon a demon it's bad because it glorify creatures to kill and the shadow realm is h3ll so why no heaven and at the end yugi beats dark yami goes to the spirit realm but no heaven. It seems nice and friendly but many good things can hurt you and you know this stay away from this garbage it's a waste of money and going to locals to pay to play means gambling for the prize just like I battle city tournament from cards to souls. Please it's not worth the sin get rid of them.
