God it's liberating to be atheist .

I am a Christian. I plan on getting Bayonetta 2 and playing the hell out of it (no pun intended).

What games should Christians play? Whatever the fuck they want. God doesn't mind guys, really. Now kids, on the other hand, should probably not play certain games. Not just Christian kids, but all kids.

You're telling  your kids you're having fun doing what you'd never do in real life.  Playing a video game isn't the same as commiting the act.

There's no difference in murdering hundreds of Goombas or dropping Bowder in a pit of lava.  It's animated violence.

Comment was not meant to be taken seriously. But thank you for replying.

I've never played Dark Souls and I don't really know anything about it so I can't really offer a valid thought on that game, sorry. I will say, in response to the comment toward the end, that Christ HIMSELF says HE is the one path to salvation and God. There are not many paths. Our calling is to follow Christ. Any actions we do that do not reflect us following God through our ultimate example, Christ Jesus, are sins. To sin is to do something contradictory to God, ultimately.

1. We, as humans, have accomplished nothing good throughout our history when we depend on our own "englightened" mindsets and avoid the mind of God. The Roman empire that was meant to bring order? Talk about a LOT of wars a LOT of oppression and a WHOLE LOT of corruption. The Middle Ages that was supposed to make Europe civilized? Assassinations, political and religious corruption everywhere, and slavery all over the place. The Renaissance? Do I even need to comment on all the revolutions that took place around the world that killed so many people so violently? World war 1, 2, the Cold war, and now this nonstop Capitalistic west vs. crazy radical islamic mindset? Whenever we humans take initiative to change the world for the "better" we do horrible things while attempting to justify it with small gains. We never have, nor are now, nor ever will be able to "make things better" by ourselves. We need God. HE created us. HE has the best plan for us. And time and time again when humans trust God through Christ Jesus their lives change forever in a incomprehensibly wonderful way. Our actions have lead to thousands of years of war, murder, and the overall degredation of life and morals. Prayer is what we need and thankfully we have someone speaking to God on our behalf for those of us who have accepted HIM as our savior (Jesus Christ).

2. Regarding the Israel/Palestine situation. If you have read the Bible then you know Israel has been, is, and will continue to be persecuted by the world throughout it's history as a nation. If the world is anti God due to Satan's grasp on it, then of course the world will find a way to be anti God's chosen people. I suspect the only thing the devil hates almost as much as god are Israel and Christians.

These are the same things Soriku.

I do agree on GTA being a crime simulator, and pretty much pure filth.
GTA is disturbing not because of the violence, but because it shows a lot of people think criminal life is cool and fun.
I think it is related to how in the United States because of rappers middle class people think gangsters and pimps are cool.
I don't have a problem with violence in videogames, but war games generally have you killing the nazis, not playing as the nazis.

As a Christian I play many games from the Legend of Zelda to Grand Theft Auto, honestly it really boils down to your convictions and is between the person and The Lord. There are some games that I will not play due to my own personal convictions I have shaped through my faith, but a Christian needs to make that decision on their own.

A Christian should play whatever game he or she wants. As long as it's not a game where you are flogging and crucifying Jesus or something like that, it's fine. You can shoot someone in the head playing Call of Duty as long as you don't do it in real life.
