So I tried my best to understand, I might have misheard him. For those that can't watch the video, this is what he says.

"Your spirit is what God is concerned about and what is your spirit active in. Jesus said if you look on a woman with the thoughts of lust in your heart, you have committed adultery with her. So that's a virtual sin, if you have all those games, I've never played a video game. I hate to tell you that. It shows my age, maybe. Have you ever played a video game? Shooting and maim, killing, grand theft auto, some of those, they get pretty bizarre. So if you're a murdering somebody in cyber space, in a sense your performing the act. Whether you like it or not. Here's the danger with this stuff. It has to do with Television, books, everything. You lose your sensitivity to God, and if you're keen to the lord, you're in prayer, your spirit is in tune to him, you're seeing miracles in your life, you listen to the voice of God. That stuff will chop off your access and you will go dead in your heart. That's the danger of all of this. That's the danger, that's what you have to remember, that it doesn't send you to hell or anything. You just miss out on all the precious presence of God that he wants to give to those that love him and that's the whole deal."

oh nice, I'll add it to the op, thanks.

What if I kill a pikmin? Is that the same as killing a human? What if I kill Bowser? Drop his body into a sea of fire and then eat his body afterwards? Is that the same? What an old ass hole.

pat robertson makes for some great entertainment.



After watching the video, what he actually said didn't seem that bad.

This guy is a complete idiot!!! enough said. He says all sorts of shit all the time. He seems very delusional to me but what do you expect when people believe in myths.



Misleading title.

"In a sense you're performing the act." is what he says.

What he says is not controversial at all, and it's directed at people who are already believers, who are already followers of Christ. As a christian I agree with him. Not that I don't play video games, but I agree that all entertainment draws a believer away from God rather than into his presence.



If thats so then profiteering schemes on religion sends you straight hell.



Wow. As a Christian I can safely say this guy is a fucking retard who should have his speaking rights revoked...

I think the title kind of misinterpreted on what he actually said.

this. 

he didnt say what this title says.

he's basically just saying video game violence desensitzes people and degrades a persons soul.

to an extent i agree with that sentiment
