Roleplaying and Religion, what do you think?
May I ask why you would think something such as a RPG is bad? (Other than the explosive ones). An RPG is just a form of entertainment. As long as I have the maturity to say, "This is fake. I do not believe this to be true," why would it be sinister? They aren't created with the intention to convert people to any religion that may or may not be in the game so how are they dangerous to your faith? Forum games are especially benign in my opinion. I personally am a part of one and and include God as part of my character. Is it directly pointing out as being the Christian God? (The one I believe in). No. But it is a representation of him. Just as Azlan from Narnia, (I have no idea if I spelled that correctly), is a representation of Jesus. The goal is not for people to praise the lion as their savior, but entertainment. But, I may be wrong and unknowingly be promoting a form of entertainment I shouldn't. If that is the case then I ask for God's forgiveness. I just personally do not see problems with most RPGs.
