    Moral Question - Piracy

    A lot of you missed the main point of my argument here. I never said that I wanted to buy the game, but didnt feel like paying for it. That was not my point. My point was, that I would not have bought the game at all, but it was given to me in pirated form. The publisher did not lose any money...

    Moral Question - Piracy

    Plenty of games have demo's that are completely misleading. I have played many demos for games that were mediocre, but the game itself was amazing, the opposite is also true. As for reviews, reviews are subjective. There are plenty of reviews from the same site or magazine that I agree with...

    born catholic, don't really attend church though, mainly because I think the entire institution is fairly hypocritical, and i dislike hypocricy

    Moral Question - Piracy

    keep in mind, games are intelectual property. If i use them, theyre not technically losing anything, as much as just not gaining money. Your analogy doesnt really work here, mainly because if you are at a hotel, you are taking up resources. If you do not pay them, then they lost money because...

    YU-GI-Oh!

    wow, never wouldve though. I've seen plenty of kids with a TON of cards, and they didnt even know the concept behind the game. At least theyre doing something with the cards, thats useful.

    tribute

    I have to respect some of you in this forum, i may not agree with everything you say, but I still respect you. Those of you who took the time to not only learn your religion, but also the religion of others so that you do not criticize them blindly. I respect that, the fact that you are secure...

    YU-GI-Oh!

    i think it's evil only because it's a card game. That and it's a capitalist's way of screwing parents out of money so that their kids can collect some cards, which they will never use, and will get bored of in a year or so. Everyone remember pokemon? Everyone rememeber the cards? Anyone...

    Moral Question - Piracy

    Now as most people here will say, piracy is theft, and theft is wrong. Let's examine this deeper though, let's say a movie comes out, a movie that you have no intention of seeing, but a friend of yours has downloaded it, and let's you watch it. You think that it is in fact a good movie, and...

    Jehovah/Yahweh v. God the Father v. Allah

    Jesus said that there is one law that is more important than all other commandments, love thy neighbour. I honestly don't think God could care less if you believe in him or not, but more if you were good to him (by that i mean his children, us). If we were created in God's image, any time you...

    wierd guy i talked to

    maybe he was just uncomfortable discussing his religion? Or rather defending it, because most religious conversations end up being religious attacks at each other. Most people that play a game don't do so for the deep, stimulating intelectual conversation, they play them just to kill stuff.

    Why does the world need religion?

    i dont have a happy view for the need of religion, just a necessary one. People can not be expected to make good choices on their own, or to do good things on their own. While Christ began the concept of religion as something that would teach us right from wrong, and how to treat our fellow man...

    Manhunt

    keep in mind, the kids in columbine were also teased, and treated badly, by kids who probably never played video games. And mortal kombat is a fighting game, so if they were really influenced by it then i would assume that they would find someone that they could team up on and beat them up. The...

    Magic

    I really don't understand why everyone here has this unreasonable fear of magic. I mean it's ok to go out and beat someone to death with a sword, but if you use magic then your soul is damned for eternity? And shouldnt the use of magic affect whether or not it is considered as evil? Same as you...

    What is your opnion on this.....

    Diablo 2 has far more depth than Dungeon Siege could possibly hope to have. Again pentagrams, and such are found all over the place, but I don't really find that that disturbing. And I would assume that there would be pentagrams in hell, mainly because one of the seven deadly sins is pride...

    Manhunt

    No one forces you to kill prostitutes in GTA 3, or to even make service of them. The game leaves that choice up to you. What you're doing right now, blaming the developers for including this options, is something along the lines of blaming God for giving people the free will to kill their...
