You do realize that video games can also be an escape from this world for lonely people?

I'm technically disabled and find peace in movies. I used to play video games a lot, but have a hard time getting into them now. My mother was the same way, always have the TV on cause she was lonely. It's like a babies blanket for some or something, LOL:D

And by the way, I look for God in the movies, and I find Him in there a lot, but I often see evil in there too. It's a good with the bad thing.

Hmmm, well it's just the way it is, in video games, in movies, you usually have both the good guys and the bad guys.

It must hard for Christian actors if they ever have to role-play a bad guy in movies.

But then again things will look different from an actor's perspective when they are acting.

I don't think I could be an actor in today's liberal climate that seems to be pushed heavily in Hollywood. I suppose there are some conservative actors though that survive, but get attacked in the news here.

It's not the good guy bad guy thing that I notice in my movies so much as it is the promotion of sin sometimes, and it almost always has a general good moral, at the least the movies I watch do.

Look could you all please take this to another thread. This is not the place for this at all, I don't want to report anyone so I am asking nicely one last time. This is not a debate, talk someone out of video games, etc. If you don't like video games than don't comment or start your own thread don't take mine off topic.

My apologies all. I get the feeling that by coming back and being transparent I've just created a mess. I'm not getting direct answers, and it seems that pursuing this is just sowing seed for arguments instead of discussing in love.@MattMooradian - I really appreciate your response and will consider what you've said. Thank you. I'll let this rest.

Some of you guys have serious issues. The topic is about videogames,.. if you think all that Christians do is eat, sleep, and read the Bible (even though it's very important to do) and pray then you're very much mistaken. Unlike a lot of you lot we're regular people just like everybody else. Honestly! :rolleyes:

What the heck? Dude calm down this is a fellowship thread. I can't believe the mods would allow trolls like you @JunChosen

I don't think you got the gist of Matthew 22:21.

Why not us do what the writer of this OP suggested to put this topic to rest.

To God Be The Glory

@April_Rose Like you say, it's so important to read the Bible; maybe Bible themed video games have been invented, I don't know...

I am big fan of warcraft, LOL and CSGO. I think video games is a good way for fight with stress after work. I use unblock site app when can not get access to forbidden gaming servers.

@Devin Wintch I will tag you too
If I remember right I finished mario bros where you fight against the dragon to save the princess. But that was a long time ago. I just downloaded World of Warcraft and started playing again. Hard to believe it's been 10 years since it began. My new computer does pretty good with the graphics and it's pretty fun. But it's a big download.
