Hi Will and all,
Yes, this is really beginning to stray off the topic of games so we
might want to begin closing this thread down soon. Not to mention if we
continue to debate religious beliefs sooner or later we will stomp on
someones toes which we don't want to do.
However, as for me
Hi,
Yeah, but that is straying from the real issue here. The real issue are

don't see it because it is fiction and it is not a worship issue. It is
just entertainment.

Hi Al,
Well said. Bottom line, people, the key here is to keep things in
perspective. It is probably alright for Christians to play Dungeons and
Dragonsor other games provided they don't get carried away with it, and
don't let the game rule their life. If a person doesn't feel comfortable

played Dungeons and Dragons for a large part of my christian life

but as a liberal Christian myself I find it weird how some Christian pastors

control of the unlawful ones.

Hi Charles,
Exactly my thoughts. It is not so much organized religion or
Christianity itself that is the problem. Often it is how people recieve
it, what they take from the message, that becomes the real issue. Since
we have all different backgrounds, different personalities, we all may
get
Hi Kelby,
That makes two of us. I am also appalled by what Nicol is going through,
and it is hard for me to understand how someone like his mother can be
so extremest in her thinking. My in-laws are a lot like that, from the

sin. So I totally agree. And then they make their own video and computer
games which involve their share of combat to slay the demons and eil
spirits, the very things they seem to vilify. I
