In the past week the most controversial video game came out, Grand Theft Auto 5.  Everyone is really into whether this game is right or not and whether or not these so called Christians could possibly be playing this game.  One of the first questions about this game is whether or not playing this game is endorsement.  I would kind of be on both sides when it comes to this question because I don't think if you're playing this game you necessarily accepting war in a way where you think it is good, however, I don't really think there's a point to it.  I would say anyone in the right mind would just be playing this as just a video game for entertainment and if they're are playing it because they get satisfaction from killing people and doing other things such as this, then they probably actually need physiological help.  The next question is what do you get from playing this game?  I can say with pride that I've never played this game so I'm really not sure what people would get from this game, but all I know is that the game is mainly about killing and adultery from what I've heard so I'm not thinking any good could come from this.  The only thing that could maybe, possibly be good about this game is the fact that you get entertainment, however it is DEFINITELY not good entertainment at all.  I feel there are much better things you could be doing with your life than virtually killing other innocent people or even non-innocent people like that's just not right.  Even if you may get this desires to kill people when they make you mad you should control yourself and just back away and mostly go to counseling because that's a little crazy and will probably lead you to doing that one day, which could get you in a ton of trouble ending with you living an awful life of guilt.  The third question is who in your life is playing?  And well I'm not exactly sure who all in my life is playing this because I normally have more important things to talk about than who in my life is playing Grand Theft Auto 5.  I sure hope a lot of people I spend time with are playing this though because it's not good for the mind. The fifth question is should Christians who are indwelt by the Lord Jesus Christ have moral issues with killing people in a virtual world?  Well I'm on both sides again it is just a a game for entertainmeant, but that's not what Jesus would want us thinking aout in my personal opinion.  We are taught to love, but this is not real life so you're not hurting anyone by doing this, unless you constantly obsess on this and it's all you do or think about and especially if you start to believe this is real life.
