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?
mock,mock,mock,mock,
