Did I glorify or promote Satanic immagry? No.  You are taking my point
too far.  A religion is a belief.  Being a certain race is not a Belief.
IMHO
being gay is not a belief either, you are born gay.  I would definitely not
buy a game that was racist or biggoted.  The reason for my post is to show
how hypocritical it is to buy a game that involves extreme violence, and
then
return it because of satanic immagery.  I believe that violence is part of
being
human, and acting out this violence in a video game is a lot healthier than
doing it in real life.  Someone who TRUELY belives in Christianity would
not play a violent video game.  I do see your point, but you are comparing
being Chrisitan to being a race.  I was born a Catholic by my Mother's
choice,
I was also born Caucasian.  I chose not to be Catholic, I cannot chose to
not
be Caucasian.  So if you ask me, it is OK to mock a religion, but it is not
OK
to mock a race.  If you play a Chrisitan game are you then  mocking
Satanism?
