Christians, listen up! (Score 1)

There's an old axiom that says that you can't always trust your friends to tell you the truth, but you can trust your enemies. Mr. Katz has some serious problems with this "Christian" shoot-'em-up, and so does the Bible. To this end I have two points to make:

1. The real threat to Satan is not some WWJD-emblazoned teen wearing down the "fire" button on the demon horde, but the Christian who takes seriously what it means to be Christ-like, being "in the world", but "not of it". We need look no further than the person of Jesus Christ. When confronted face-to-face with Satan himself, His personal purity and holiness were what overcame the devil. Please refer to Ephesians 6:10-17 for the true meaning of spiritual warfare.

2. I fear that this game and its emerging genre are a cheap substitute for living a 24/7 life of personal purity and waging a victorious battle against the real forces of darkness, away from the PC, in the real world. I suppose this game will be popular fare in the same churches that use WWF style "entertainment" as a ministry tool. We need to understand that the Bible teaches that "harmless" imitations of evil are themselves evil!

All God asks is that Christians "come out from among them and be separate", and then maybe Mr. Katz wouldn't have to write an article like this.

"He is no fool who gives what he cannot keep to gain that which he cannot lose."
