As a married, church going Christian man myself, this is a topic that means a lot to me. To others posting here, don't trivialize this because it is important to many of us.
I have a friend who became born-again and gave up his CoD habit. He became a much friendlier and happier person for it. He burned his whole CoD collection in protest.
I have another friend who is a recognized as an active, strong believer. And he loves Borderlands, Mass Effect, Titanfall and other mature games.
In terms of belief and gaming, I don't look upon one as being better or worse than the other
Different believers come up with different guidelines for what hurts/ helps spiritually. Everyone internalizes influences from games differently. I've played GoW, GTA, and Twisted Metal and other M games and I can't say any it's been particularly hurtful or offensive experience for those. However, since getting married I've generally have skipped games with strong sexual content because that's what scares/offends my wife. And I do that primarily for love & respect for my wife, not necessarily because the game is going to corrupt me or something.
I often find there's always another great games out there that accomodate these values, so I typically stick with those. It rarely is a bother.
Though I am sad that I'll likely miss out on Bayo 2 because of it :(
I predict NX launches in 2017 - not 2016
