Agreed. I too am a level-headed Christian. (Not a paradox)
The title to your blog is the biggest oxymoron I've seen in a while.
How can Christians be against anything violent? The religion itself is a religion founded upon some of the most violent acts of mankind. The bible in it's entirety is single handedly the most violent book ever written. Lets not even get into discussing the crusades.
Although I do think it's stupid that Christianity as a whole has forced its way into every aspect of our lives, basically dictating out every decision and aspect of life. I do think it is stupid to generalize the entire community. Lots of good people are level headed Christians and overall good people. Then there is another part of them that are just morons. They are the reason for Racisim, bigotry, and overall persecution of anyone who differs in opinion from them.
Who's bashing us? Let me at 'em.
Yeah, I too am a Christian, but am of the hippy variety. Loving, Forgiving and Excepting but not the "get you're act strait or get out" variety.
I think a lot of people have just had bad experiences with Christians, like alter boy's or guy's who's father abandoned them etc.
Well, as a Christian, I've tended to stay away from violent videogames. I just never felt right about it.
It's gotten even more so recently too. I don't really want to see blood and gore. Makes me uncomfortable.
Of course, I don't want make decisions for other people. Violence, abortion, sexuality; I've made my decisions for my life, not other people's lives.

Yes, there has been horrible violence in the history of Christianity. But also in every other religion, (and non religion, as some of the worst crimes against humanity were committed by people who professed no religion) as well. Even pacifist Buddhists have responded in violence. I think you're smart enough to know this, but I just wanted to say it, too.
iDano: Because Christianity is by far one of the most contradictory religions ever created.
God loves you no matter what you do, but disobey "his" rules and you will burn forever in eternal hellfire. Give up your personal wants and needs because they do no matter to us, I mean, they do not matter to God. Give us money and repent my brothers. Amen.

I Play Violent Games all the Time (even at Bible Study)
I'm a Christian and player of violent games. Honestly, I don't think the problem is just "Christians," I think it's more of lazy parents in general. You seem to be referencing the new Australian bill, so it just happens to be a Christian parents group this time. Also remember that the Australian porn industry is also against the bill. This isn't a religious issue.
@topgear
I realize other religions are just as violent. However, it seems that Christianity is never put on the chopping block for it. (with the exception of the soldiers funeral protests) When a group of 'Christians' stand outside of a gay right convention and protest, or demoralize women as they go in and out of abortion clinics across the nation. Those are acts of hatred which are condemned in the bible.
I was raised in the pentecostal church. I'm no stranger to how extreme some Christians are. If someone isn't a christian, don't associate with them. You will go to hell for it. If you smoke cigs, your going to hell. If you say a bad word, your going to hell. If you think a woman is looking hot, you are going to hell. Some are soo extreme they feel that if a woman cuts her hair, or a man has long hair, thats living in sin, also that women should only wear dresses and men should only wear pants. Men in Shorts and Women in pants are a no no.
