Killing in videogames is not a sin: CONFIRMED!

Destructoid writes: If you were worried that you'd be burning in Hell for all of eternity because you shot someone in Grand Theft Auto, then fret not, my son. According to the Wisconsin Evangelical Lutheran Synod, a reader was seriously concerned about this, but their minds are sure to be at rest over the answer.

come on, you guys are being too hard, we can use them as test dummies

UltimateIdiot9115713d ago

But what if we are actually simulation. And the player(God)is actually making people kill each other. And when we kill characters in game, we are actually killing someone.

JsonHenry5712d ago

Why are the people who were honestly worried about this NOT locked up in a mental ward?!

shazam5712d ago (Edited 5712d ago )

why the hell should i care about what "god" thinks. and how does this guy know what "god" thinks.

SpaceCowgirl5712d ago

People looking down on others just because of their religious beliefs. Worrying about this topic is not silly. When the question of having to spend your life in eternal suffering and agony is in play, nothing is silly.

tommyhj5712d ago

And what if God was part of a simulator for even greater beings? etc. etc. That all leads to the conclusion that only you yourself exist, and in that case, the question of simulations, brains in a jar, and every question involving the world around you, makes no sense. And nonsensical questions shouldn't be asked.

Also, looking down on people for their religious views is a bad thing. But looking down on people for their obvious imbecility, ignorance and stupidity is a "God Given Right (tm)".

Because all of a sudden that guy who answered the question is the definite oracle on all things Christian!

Personally, I play some violent games, and as a Christian i think its not totally right, the bible says not to engage in activities that go against the wishes of God. So extreme violence in a film is still somewhat sinful as you are willing to accept it enough to watch the material, and the act being carried out, though not real in the sense of the medium, is an act of sin.
Same logic applies to gaming.

sorry, i know most ppl dont like hearing religious babel.. im not condemning ppl, just showing my thoughts on it, and u i think this article is wrong, in my eyes of course.

:)

MiloGarret5712d ago

You are very right, I don't like religious babel. And you're going to hell together with all the rest of us, I should know, I actually have a pope in my family tree, a real asshole one too!

mt5712d ago

i respect religions but i am similar to u i Play all kinds of game because it meant for fun .

bubble for u

PROTIP : Never ask yourself ''is that what god wants?''. Always ask ''Is that a good thing to do''

oh and I really like your first sentence

rdgneoz35712d ago

Instead of asking "what god wants", you should always ask "What would Brian Boitano Do?"

Wenis5712d ago

So does this mean that porn in video games (hot coffee) is not a sin either? SWEET!

there is no Hell. You live and you die....end of story.

LeonSKennedy4Life5712d ago

Prove it.

Are you aware of how much evidence...historical AND physical evidence, mind you...there is for God and the entire story of Christ?

silverchode5712d ago

theres proof god exist? also jesus was an alien hybrid, we are all a genetic experiment :)

Shouldn't be based around religous stuff.

If that were so, then video games would be pretty lame.

That's why they(as in governments, most of em at least) Seperated Church from state.
Can't say it's the same in all countries though.

LeonSKennedy4Life5712d ago

Separation of Church and State was a law put into effect to keep the state from running the schools...because it was the church's job.

Way to go, ignorance!!!

LeonSKennedy4Life5712d ago

Honestly, a good Revelation-based video game would be AMAZING! Do you know how EPIC that would be?

Of course, most games are more along the lines of Song of Solomon.

Anyone catch my drift?

v1c1ous5712d ago

i recommend you do research on a certain topic before you think you're well versed enough to make comparisons m'kay?

Timesplitter145712d ago

It's the church's job to run schools? So they'll keep brainwashing the kids? So they can support Bush? So he can send his army to kill 150 000 innocents in Irak?

GarandShooter5712d ago

Timesplitter, what about all the Leftist indoctrination that goes on in schools all across the USA everyday? All schools should be teaching students 'how to think', instead of 'what to think'.

And anyone insisting on 'Separation of Church and State' in the USA, please tell me where that phrase appears in the constitution.

Xbox's handling of the marketing for Senua's Saga: Hellblade 2 is casting a huge doubt over the future of its developer, Ninja Theory.

They should be worried. They we told they were free to be creative to dev. a walking sim, and now Phil and the Lady are walking that back.

solideagle1h ago

let's look at the other side of the coin. why did HellBlade 2 which is a short game took more than half a decade to develop? If a game is taking millions upon millions to make then expectations will grow and when those expectations fail to meet then decisions are made.

I am not defending MS here, above is just my humble opinion.

Sonic188141m ago(Edited 40m ago)

They should have stayed independent and should have never gotten involved with MICROSOFT

Everything they bought is at risk, Game Pass is NEVER going to be able to support all the development for these studios while also maintaining any kind of catalog of new games.

If it wasn't supporting itself before they bought all these studios it's obviously not going to be able to support even more.

Hofstaderman51m ago(Edited 50m ago)

Pretty apparent they next on the cutting block. Hellblade 2 is a week out and the only noise from XBOX marketing is akin to a fart. Not even a loud pants-ripping fart....but a shameful supressed one.

RNTody31m ago

There's no way Ninja Theory stays in business after Hellblade 2.

It's a digital only release, it's been in development for over five years, and it's a Game Pass Day One, which means it's not going to blow any sales charts apart. That's already taking into account that Ninja Theory don't make games that sell multiple millions, they cater to a niche audience.

Ninja Theory has been around for a very long time and they've served their audience well, DmC aside, but I'm betting on them closing or being absorbed soon.
