You say in your mind, but about the other millions? It has been a proven fact that violence in video games has led to more violence of the people as they have grown up. What's the old saying? WWJD?

Well what I realy meen is.Most of the kid games are okay.The violence is whacking people with hamer and the flaten like a pancake and fly up and turn into a coin that will help by you food and things.Now as for some of the teen games they are not near that levle and the mature games are not either.I respect you thoughts.And lots of them I agree with you.

I hear what you are saying person777, but actually MOST of the children's games involve violence, and that enters their minds as though it was natural. Any good Christian parent would throw them in the trash and start teaching his child better things.

young children are very impresionable. They see a monster hit somone with a hammer and flatten it.... the next day they go up to their brother and nail him in the back of the head.
Jeff i'm with you, when I have children they will notbe playing that "trash"
God Bless

I think there is a very subtle assault on children's sensibilities going on. No young child could bear to attack someone, even in imagination, in a bloody and a gory manner. So cartoons and video games make it comical and funny. As kids get older the violence becomes less comical, less symbolic, more grisly, until the kids are finally immersed in things like Grand Theft Auto.

Well, that is my take, as the kind of mum who won't let her son play video games!

RYUE.... do you play with a guy named "deet"... on any games?

I think games are fine in moderation, and if that person knows its just a game.But if the person is playing the game and relates it to his own life than there is a problem.And if the game is the center of that persons life and god.

Hi Cindy, it depends what are the games someone plays. If it involves, killing then I am against them moderation of not. The Bible says let everything be Godly that you touch.
