Are videogames and the 2600 the work of Satan?

[Godzilla]

In honor of my 666th. post, I'll ask the big question.

 

</SARCASM ON>

Are concerned mothers right?

 

Just look at the second level of intv demon attack,

or all those porn games for the 2600, or those evil occult titles like ghost manor and haunted house.

 

And the blood! with a killer chopping up children in halloween, or Texas Chainsaw massacre where you do the killing yourself!!

 

To find the problems with our youth, one need look no further than the beelzebub loving 2600! Yars Revenge, eh? Lord of the Flies?

I hope so. My mother's been on me to "find religion." She didn't specify which one!

[joeybastard]

I hope so, Satan is always responsible for all of the cool stuff.

[Godzilla]

HAHAHAaaaA!

 

Well really, is great. You dont see nations going to war over but people who feel those freaks are always going to war and killing each other.

Video games are actually a portal to hell. What you view on the screen is a snapshot of hell that you actually get to control temporarily. Programmers are actually magicians that have learned the art of accessing hell and all of its illusions. Don't be fooled by how fun it feels to play these games. Its actually a big test devised by satan. Beware the possessed machines!!! Has anyone seen the logo for the new PHANTOM console that is supposed to be coming to the market soon?? (I am joking so please laugh here...)

So what you're saying is that when we die and go to hell (everyone but the Mormons, right?), we'll actually be trapped inside a TV screen and have our lives controlled by bratty kids?

 

I seem to recall an Onion article about this...

why dont we all just become mormons and get ourselves 20 wives. aw yea. at least one of em should like playing atari with us. then we can have massive wife swaps :-) and really get down with our

You don't need to go to hell to have your life controlled by bratty kids. Just become a parent

[birdie3]

Imagine that. I have kids and my dad is a Mormon...... (maybe I know what I am talking about)?? Oh well!! I guess the only person to ask is Nolan Bushnell. I suppose he would know considering Atari was his idea. He is a Mormon too by the way folks (seriously). Does anyone else have any more insights into this topic??

[Godzilla]

Wow this goes much deeper than I thought... I was just joking and being sarcastic.... is that Satan's face I see during the dance of the Yars.... Lord of the Flies indeed....

Right!

Do you have any idea how hard it is to get ONE Mormon wife, let alone 20? FYI: Polygamy was discontinued in the LDS Church 100+ years ago.

...then we can have massive wife swaps :-) and really get down with our

HELL WILL FREEZE OVER before that happens!

Reality check! YOU are BIGGER and STRONGER than your bratty kids! The only "control" they can have on you is all in your mind!

 

...I was just joking and being sarcastic....

 

So am I! ( Except for the part about me being Mormon, Polygamy being discontinued, and Hell freezing over... )

I think the modern generation systems' potential is being tapped into by the enemy of our souls, since we now have the kind of systems that can produce three-dimensional imagery with characters that are looking much closer to human beings. Being a big fan of the LEFT BEHIND series of books and one who believes in the literal fulfillment of the book of Revelation in our generation, it's possible that whatever gaming output would occur sometime within the Tribulation would make what's coming out now look pretty tame by comparison as far as moral ethics go. Then again, that may also be the end of videogaming, period.

[Miqorz]

Could this be the work of..... SATAN?!

Please don't take this personally at all okay?

I know this thread isn't meant to be at all serious, but my mom really and truly thought many games were tools of the Devil!

 

Demon Attack for example was forbidden, as was Adventure (!) No Satan's Hollow in the arcade, of course!

 

Thankfully she had a soft spot for Ms Pac, Carnival, Frogger... the cutesy games were all just fine by her. :-)

[AtariDude]

Videogames are the tools of he without a name. They corrupt our youth and cause those come in contact with them to lose all sense of right and wrong.

 

And now back to your Godzilla marathon...

 

 

 

(Just kidding by the way about videogames. Videogames are merely a nice distraction and a way to use our mind in new and creative ways as opposed to the boob tube where everything is spoon fed to you).

Carnival? Even though the word "Carnival" has its root in "carnality," meaning a festival of carnality where people indulge in the sinful pleasures of the flesh?

 

I'm not a mormon, but I have a religious background (though I don't affiliate with anything officially), and I've never had a problem with games that feature demons and Satan and all that stuff. In fact, Diablo II is one of my all-time favorite games (I think the angel in that game is wicked awesome). But having gone to a private Christian school for several years, I've heard all about how "evil" some games are (like Dungeons & Dragons, which ironically only served to make me more fascinated with the game).
