HI Dark, Ah, well, there in lies the rub. There are people who must inflict their views or beliefs on everyone regardless if they share their views or not. The simplest solution is to simply not watch a movie or play a game they find personally offensive. However, for some of the right wing fundamentalist groups in this country it is their way or no way, and the courts are filled with cases where some right wing fundamentalist group or other took someone to court over a religious issue that was by and large a secular matter.
Anyway, this is getting away from the issue of children's games so I'd like to steer things back onto topic now. Talking about religious debates is interesting, but not what this list is about. :D Cheers!
