I had to convince her about the anime too. Pokemon the first movie freaked her out because Mewtwo is a Psychic-type :p probably shouldve started her out with a different episode/movie...

What games should Christians play?
Whatever games they like, don't be a puritan and let faith ruin your fun!
Xbox One, PS4 and Switch (+ Many Retro Consoles)

If my faith prevents me from enjoying something, then that something that I want to enjoy is contradictory to my faith and to my purpose as a sentient being. My life is meant to glorify God as will my eternity and I will love glorifying HIM and will love HIM always.

I'm sorry but i couldn't live life around something that is likely to be fictional. Religions normally have some good things to say but people always close themselves off from trying something different (especially fundamentalists). Not saying that you are like that, it's your choice to be religious and it's my choice to not have to be.
People can believe whatever they want but just shove it down our throats if we don't care.

It's your choice? I don't remember making that choice myself... I couldn't believe even if I wanted to - how do you make yourself believe?

I actually have no idea. I guess some people convert to a religion in times of crisis but most are born into it

I don't shove it down people's throats. I discuss it when there is a discussion to be made or when one is actively present. I don't force it. Now, I can't say the same thing for myself probably 10 years ago. I've grown a lot since then and have realized that people won't come to Christ by my actions and certainly won't find Christ appealing if I am constantly nagging at them.

Share the love brah. You can adore more than one thing. Why does God have to be selfish? It's not like you're literally worshipping Paper Mario are you? It's a shame religion can be so anti-human nature. |
I wouldn't consider Christianity "religion." Religions are when humans are trying to do something in order to obtain something from some higher power. Christianity is a human admitting that he/she needs Christ not just for salvation, but to be reconciled to God and to be truly free in life. Christians admit to not being able to attribute their salvation through things they've accomplished. We admit to the need for God to intervene in our lives to save us and that is through Christ Jesus.
I do not, nor should ever, adore anything other than God. There are things I enjoy in life that I love to enjoy that I adore God for providing (such as my marriage to my closest sister in Christ; my wife).
God wants what is literally best for us. He loves us so much that he created us, guided us, saved and forgave us despite us constantly doing things against HIM throughout the history of humanity. We don't deserve HIM, yet HE offers HIS love to us regardless through Christ. HE is as far from selfish as anything can be. He isn't FORCING us to be turned to Christ. Those who accept Christ do so willingly and experience a joy I can't quite describe to you.
I was raised in a Christian family and I call myself Christian.
I've never understood this "my faith prevents me from playing this game" thing. I mean violence and sex? I hate to have to burst your bubble, but God made boobs, too. You're not living in faith; you're living in denial of what the world is like. It makes no sense.
Avoiding it because you just don't like it or because a child is too young makes perfect sense, but for most fundies your standard T rated stuff will do fine.
