Why do so many parents not allow violent video games, but still urge their children to read the Bible?
And why is it that the people that say there’s nothing violent about it are always the ones that give their children the “fluffed up” childrens’ Bibles?
Hahahaha. I wouldn’t necessarily not allow my child to read the Bible — if they really wish to experience that part of culture than they can — but it would come with conditions, just like movies and video games.
Tammi: My “sweeping generalizations” come from everything from questions here to year-long research I did in high school on it to church meetings about violence in the media.
There is nothing violent in the Bible that isn’t happening in the world?
Sure. But there’s also nothing violent in video games that isn’t happening in the world.
Whatever you want to call me — “even in a 8-hour marathon of Vice City, Tommy Vercetti still can’t kill as many people as God.” I lol’d.
The bible provides many stories about the lives of good and bad people, about battles and journeys, about the life of Jesus along with letters written to groups of Christians that met in homes.
It tells of the same problems we have in the world today.
