Here's an interesting question. If weather forecasters can tell the future, where do they go? Heaven? Hell?
Christian stations have weather forecasts on them, so does this make them a bit on the hypocritical side? -------------------- There is such a thing as "Real Rock."

It's not what you read or play, but what you do with it that counts. How many people read horoscopes in newspapers that don't believe them? There are plenty. How many people read the Harry Potter series and play games based on it that actually believe in witchcraft? There are plenty. These are not bad, deranged, misled, or corrupt people. Kids who dress up as devils for Halloween are not Devil worshipers. It's known as fun, just as the games are. As long as you are able to separate fact from fiction, as long as you do not allow fiction to become nonfiction in your life, I see no problem. For kids, learning the separation line is where parenting comes in. Going overboard hurts, rather than helps, the situation. --- Gun control only controls the guns of lawful citizens while placing them in control of the unlawful ones. ----- Original Message ----- From: "kelby carlson" <[email protected]> To: "Gamers Discussion list" <[email protected]> Sent: Saturday, April 18, 2009 9:37 AM Subject: Re: [Audyssey] games and religion >I can say, as a Conservative evangelical, that I am absolutely sickened by >what Nicol just related.
