Would God approve of gaming?
You know the 10 Commandments? Moses read them from stones on a hill. How many of the them do you know? I know a few, whilst some might know them all or none. So I'm having ago at this post in the dark and making it up as I go along. And for those who might be offended, maybe you shouldn't read it.
I) I AM THE LORD THY GOD, THOU SHALT NOT HAVE STRANGE GODS BEFORE ME.
Right so he/she doesn’t want you worshiping fake Gods. So lets skip all the other Religious stuff and move onto games. There are a number of people on this site who talk about their consoles as if it were a God. You know they’re willing to go to war over such a matter. They have it displayed in their room like some sort of shrine, probably have gaming characters over their walls, polish it and sleep with it. Try and mention the 'all mighty' and they start talking about the X-Box specs. It's been known that some say little prayers at night blessing Sony. So does gaming create false Gods? I say it does. Oh I can hear God rumble with rage at it all.
II) THOU SHALT NOT TAKE THE NAME OF THE LORD THY GOD IN VAIN.
Right so he doesn’t want us to swear using his name. For example “Jesus Christ did you see the size of that Ham?” and “ Like Oh My God did you like totally see that dude? “. Well these all come into daily language now so God has failed with that one already. Let’s set the scene, you’ve been playing this level all night, you keep falling in the volcano and you start to crack up. You’ve just about made it, but wait you’re falling again. I bet you take the Lord’s name in vain don’t you? If not worse you dirty people. Yep God does not approve.
III) REMEMBER THOU KEEP HOLY THE SABBATH DAY.
How nice, Sunday a nice day of rest. Just go to church then home for dinner and a nice chapter out the Bible. What do you mean you don’t do this? I bet you sleep in till lunch? Walk about in your pants? Then play games until it’s time to go to bed? Of course you do, the only time of week to get stuck into a game whilst Songs of Praise is on. No point denying it… God wants you to pray… instead you play.
IV) HONOUR THY FATHER AND THY MOTHER
Who buys your games and consoles? Bet for the majority it’s mummy and daddy. Is that honouring them? Stealing all there hard earned cash so you can close your door on them and play away. I think not thou cheeky young scamp. You should be hovering the house and making dinner whilst listening to sound advice from your parents. And talking to them about games doesn’t count… you should take walks in the country with them and also go to church with them. Yep strike another commandment off.
V) THOU SHALT NOT KILL
Fair enough I’m sure not many people here wouldn’t actually kill someone in real life. However, nearly every single game made involves you killing people. You could slaughter a tribe in the jungle, nuke a city, and shoot everything in your sight. Oh how cruel you are… it might only be moving graphics but in theory you are actually killing something. That sheer will to destroy and burn builds up inside you every time you play. Where are your morals? It’s a disgrace… Jesus would turn in his grave if he never rose from the tomb near the time when we get chocolate eggs.
VI) THOU SHALT NOT COMMIT ADULTERY
Well this is a tricky one, let me think. Well unless you are so obsessed with your console that you marry it (I’m sure you could so that, people can marry animals can’t they and stuff) and then run off when you discover breasts I can’t think of anything. Unless you are some die-hard Ninty who buys and X-Box or something, I guess that counts. Nah this one is okay… God would be proud.
VII) THOU SHALT NOT STEAL
You might be hooked on games and need to steal old ladies pensions just for another hit. Well I doubt that but I’m sure stolen money has gone towards buying games. What about in games? You could steal a car and drive it around like in Grand Theft Auto… same as the killing ones, you are in theory still stealing it. Shame on you. I bet someone on the forum has borrowed a friends came, but really you stole it and they forgot they gave you it. You thief. To prison with you or hell, whatever floats your Noah’s Ark.
VIII) THOU SHALT NOT BEAR FALSE WITNESS AGAINST THY NEIGHBOR.
Well this means that you shouldn’t hate another human or be jealous etc. So on the games front you shouldn’t hate or be jealous of oh say another console. Well we all know those petty arguments that people have against other consoles. They just moan and argue and bicker and moan all because they hate the other console or company or they are secretly jealous of it. It’s a disgrace you should all appreciate gaming as a whole instead of these arguments. So shut up.
IX) THOU SHALT NOT COVET THY NEIGHBOR'S WIFE.
Well I’m guessing this is another form of adultery, he repeated himself. I have absolutely no idea what to say to this. Don’t do the business with your console’s wife then. I’m Brian and so is my wife.
X) THOU SHALT NOT COVET THY NEIGHBOR'S GOODS.
Well this means that you shouldn’t steal wealth, which is above as well. It can also mean you can’t steal time. But we all waste time playing games do we not? We steal it from ourselves therefore and let ourselves down. We should be out living instead or something. And God is Lord of all Things so he must be annoyed that you created consoles and games through his ‘things’ and waste your lives away. So don’t do it again you naughty sinners
Well that’s me. It seems in the 21st century that gaming can be very sinful and it may cost your place in heaven. So what will it be? Give up games for your whole life just to get a chance at gaming heaven? Oh it’s up to you I guess.
Also if you did ignore my warning and read it anyway, I’m sorry if I offended you. Also do you have any idea how hard it was to find 10 commandments on the internet? I went through pages of “ 10 Commandments of Business “ and “ 10 Commandments of Baking a Cake “.
