It's not organized religion that I'm against. It's the behavior and
opinions of some of the people.

I agree. I happen to be against organized religion for that very reason.
Don't mistake me. I do try to respect the religious beliefs of others but I
have no respect at all for anyone who tries to force their beliefs on other
people, especially over something as harmless as playing a computer game.
My first ever girlfriend was the same way. She never said it in so many
words but you could tell. Any game with an even remotely fantastical or
mythological element to it would red flag her, even if the main character
of the game was doing like Angela Carter and just searching for treasure.
And some people just can't be persuaded. They're too set in their ways.

That is the problem with religion, people think they know what is good
for everybody else, my opinion on this is if a person does not like
something that I am doing then they need to get a life of there own and
let me do what I have the right to do as an adult.

Hi tom and all
I'm desperately needing advice. my mom got a fit when she saw me reading
an
e-mail with regards to mota. I assured her that I will not play games on
her
computer which is against her principles. you see I belong to the
religion:
jehovah's witnesses.
they believe that playing certain games like games containing violence
or
the supernatural is sin.they refuse to accept it that a game is only a
game.
when my mom saw the word tomb hunter she immediately asked me: what is a
tomb son?
its where dead people is.
so she assumes mota has to do with the dead and therefore its a sin to
play
mota.
I told her what tom had told us, that mota is based on greek myths and
legends.
so my mom replied: exactly, so this game you want to play has something
to
do with idolatry.
how on earth can I explain to my mom that mota is not a harmfull game.
she doesn't want me to play the game on my pc as well.
of course its my pc and I'm adult and she can't decide for me but she
will
continuously nag or put the elders on me until I listen to them and I
like
mota, I'm not going to listen to them.
I'm going to purchase mota.
in the past elders confiscated music on my computer violently by pulling
me
away from my computer. my mom hates sod just as much, she feels sod is
also
a sin to play.
but tom I would like your 2 cents view on this matter.
can you or others tell me why the jehovah witnesses view games like mota
as
a sin and is mota really sin to play?
thanks
