Rev John Goddard isnt all bad. At least his whinging led to a picture of Father Ted kicking Bishop Brennan up the arse being on Destructoids front page.
For anyone who doesn't get the header image: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=sUgP3f0RFbk
I'm not sure if it will work outside the UK.

Damn! My post came in simultaneously with Aurain! Yes, I know "Father Ted". I was just verifying that the pic was from that. And I agree ... R.I.P Dermot Morgan.
I agree, children shouldn't be playing Resident Evil. They should be reading the Bible so they can learn decent moral values like stoning rebellious children to death(Deuteronomy 21:18-21) and that it's okay to rape a woman as long as you marry her(Deuteronomy 22:28-29).
If a child does play Resident Evil, it's important that they repent by sacrificing an animal, since the smell of burnt flesh is pleasing to God(Exodus 29:18). If you insist on continuing to play Resident Evil, then God may try to strike you down. You'll be safe as long as you have a chariot of iron, which is God's one weakness(Judges 1:19).

I could totally see them talking about Silent Hill and its corrupted view on religion. But Resident Evil? Really?
Why the hypocrisy? Not even five articles down you're ragging on a Christian game, lambasting it for being a religious game, but here we are, and you're calling the Church out for being misinformed and narrow-minded about video games? A little thick in here isn't it?
I'm not a Viva Pinata fan, but I have to admit there must be a demographic for it out there. Let's not bag on a game we know nothing about, then turn around and get offended when someone does it to us, eh?
Besides, you don't have to be religious to stereotype games, they're just the latest to jump on the bandwagon. Keep them away from MW2!

That was a zinger of a response.
"Unfortunately the clergy is showing a lack of understanding of the video games industry and is too quick to splash the holy water and lump video games players into stereotypical boxes."
Aww yeah.

who takes the word of anyone who believes in magic zombies though? Seriously, any religious person's a nutjob. Which is why i'm so pro-abortion.

Wow. Guess I can now say any Atheist is a paranoid asshat.

Jim a Reverend not a Priest. Therefore your clergy comparison is wrong because the Church has nothing to do with it.
I started playing it and I feel it should be titled "Resident Evil: House of the Dead Edition". It's doubly evil compared to other media of similar subject matter and should be singled out.
Why go against RE: DC? o.O
There are plenty more violent games out there. That's how uninformed they are. Scream "God forbids you" all you want. These days, you need to back it up. Wait scratch that. There are still idiots throwing away their lives for god.

who even takes the "church" seriously,they're a bunch of fairy tail believing boy touching douche bags. fuck the church and the lie's they spout..
This sounds horrible, but I can't wait for these old people to drop out of power and stop talking about things they don't know about.
I'm waiting for this "LET'S RIP ON RELIGION COS ATHEISTS ARE HOT SHIT LOLOLOL" trend to die. Fuck oppression of any kind; you guys are being dicks.

Jumped up bible thumpers.
I'd rather parents and kids decice what's best for them and what to play, than leave kids in you care at church, bunch o' bloody fiddlers o' kids. Stop trying to lead people. You had your chance and blew it.
Think I'm going to go buy some occult stuff, now.

Props to Capcom for reacting quickly to this. :O)
As a Christian, I would warn my kids about the occult early on in life, then when they grow up, I'd let them play whatever videogames they like. Then they are already safe in the knowledge that they won't practise anything IRL what they are playing, and that they won't be forced to think that their Christian guardians are being restrictive and stuck-up.

I hope I can persuade Leliana to couple with me without having to listen to her prattle about her Visions of the Maker. Perhaps gifting Wine will help?
So many Idiots so little time to comment at them all. Every one focus on all the negative of an organization they blame the actions of a few on the many of the organization. they blame all the crap that they hear in the news on the whole of the organization.
They never consider all the good that these people do. They never consider what the world would be like if they did not exist. I tell you a world without religion would be a good thing their would be no religious zealotry however such a world would not be something to be discussed in polite conversation. How much of our sense of whats right and moral has been influenced by religion?
People have done evil things in the name of religion but what of these people who committed the acts? They are mislead by tyrants or they are tyrants themselves and a tyrant will always find pretext for his tyranny. Then their is the other side zealotry. Advancing the churches goals with an iron fist under the name of god.
What of the rest of the world their are men who without religion have done evil things far worse then what the church has done and these people are not hated nearly as much as the church.
So basically Im saying your all guilty of being an idiot your all guilty of being thick headed your all guilty of being oppressive and if you think your not well that just means you have a double dose of idiocy in you.

REV RAVES RES! Rt Rev John Goddard. "I would [...] encourage[...] children to be drawn into this [...] extreme horror."
@starhawl
None of our sense of what's right or moral comes from religion. Morality is based on the general consensus of what's considered to be in the best interest of the progress of a particular culture. I know I don't want to be murdered, so I don't murder other people, and they don't murder me. This rule is enforced by society punishing anyone who breaks it.
I don't what your particular religious views are, but if you take the time to research what your religion teaches as being moral and immoral, I'm willing to bet that your morals are inconsistent with those of your religion.

....and you have the balls to accuse othe people of using strawman arguments? Aren't you tired of preaching to the choir yet? How many of these tired-ass "violence in video games" articles do you do a week now?
I'm not necessarily on the side of the people complaining about violence in games, (at least not in every case) I'm just saying that this is another example of Jim being a shitty hack of a writer, re-using the same topic over and over because he can't write real articles.
Basically what I'm trying to say is Jim Sterling is a fucking idiot.

Something in your name Mousse420 tells me you're probably not qualified to judge.
Something in the way you've over-reacted and attacked the article backs that up.
When the air clears, come back and comment.

The church out of all institutions is the last one with any right to talk about hurting children because as i remember they still to this day cover for pedophile priest merely to not throw mud on their image. Don't get me wrong, I'm a devout christian, just not a mindless church sheep.
As much as i hate RE, the church has no say in this... or.. anything, frankly. I applaud Capcoms response on the matter.
I don't have a religion its not for me but that does not mean I have to be biased against people who are religious.
religions Influenced society greatly its laws are based on morality morality is based off of peoples beliefs beliefs are influenced by religion. Our society was founded on religion thats why all men are created equal.
