I just wanted to ask you a question, why do you make generalizations about games. For example you say that these 'violent murder simulators' are the reason people shoot each other and incidents like VTech and Columbine happen yet you fail to realize how many games are 'violent murder simulators' that actually give hope to kids in need. For example, there is a game called Re-Mission and while it is a violent video game it helps kids with cancer understand what is going on inside their body therefore giving them a sense a hope. Why would you want to take that away from them? If you take that away from them then you would be no better than those 'hooligans' at Take-Two or Rockstar. You said this and I quote:
"I have made a choice, and it is a choice for Jesus, Jesus said: "If any of you should cause any of these little ones to stumble, then it would be better for you that a millstone be tied around your neck and that you be cast into the sea." Rockstar is marketing adult murder simulators to kids. You are an apologist for that molestation. You're the one who needs to square his actions with the Bible, not I. I'm the one winning cases in the Bible Belt, not you. Please go to Hell more quietly. Thanks."
Now Jack, I'm a Christian and yes I play murder simulators like Halo, Crackdown, and God forbid I even played The Sims 2. Yet I haven't been experiencing the almighty wrath of God. Hey Jack, you do have to remember that God killed ACTUAL people not virtual ones, heck He has killed more people than all the murder simulators combined. So Mr. Thompson maybe you are the one who needs to square his actions with the Bible. Oh and by the way I don't think God likes it when you quote a verse from the Bible (which is already out of context, shame on you) and then condemn someone to Hell. So I ask you the age old question, what would Jesus do?
