You are missing the whole point of the post.  According to any Christian
that I know the Bible tells them how to act because they relate it to
present
day life, even though the bible was supposely written in most part thousands
of years ago.  THE ONLY point I was trying to make was in remark to
those who said they wont buy Quake 3 because of satanic immagery.  I am
not "barking" at the issue of violence in video games.  I simply made a
comment about how I THOUGHT that people who consider themselves
religious (i.e. Christian) would not play such a game in the first place.
If
you are a Christian who plays these video games and are taking offense to
this comment I am sorry.  I am not defending satanism.  I am not trying to
say anything bad about violence in video games.  I could go into detail and
argue about religion all day but I wont.  This is an action games (i.e.
blood,
exploding heads, huge weapons, multi-kill loving) news group.  Try
advertising that at YOUR church and write back.
