Should Christians be playing video games?

Posted by Devo on September 20, 2025, 6:45 am

Should we be playing those? Because I think we should.

Only if you tie some garlic around your neck.

It works for vampires. It could work for demons.

Should Christians eat asparagus?

Wear New Balance running shoes?
Go to the Opera.
Read books written by adults?
Play Tennis?

Definitely no on the New Balance.

I'm an atheist and I like to fly my spaceship around the galaxy shooting pirates (in a video game).

I think God spent 6 days building our planet, then he rested and played games on the 7th day. So Christians are allowed to play games too.

I can afford to spend a few hours a week playing this game because I don't have debt or outstanding bills I need to pay: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Endless_Sky

The pirate spaceships are the bad guys, so they deserve to be shot.

I started with a small cheap spaceship then progressed to larger stronger spaceships.

for Christians your opinion requires Biblical justification to be relevant.

That is true for ALL the stuff you post. You need some sort of reason why you think so. Otherwise, it’s not worthwhile reading.

Does it honor God?

Do games honor God?

Some of them do. Most are that way.

Yeah, how so? and which ones?

Games like Zelda are godly

They also have good themes.

How so?

you might want to avoid those with overt violence but a lot of games are very cute

Evil stuff, most of it. Maybe they should be outlawed.

Why outlaw stuff that people love?

Well?

Of course they love those sinister games.

Addicts love their vices. I enjoyed every cigarette puff from age 15 to 30. I quit. I’m physically healthier. Quit Lucifer’s lures and become mentally healthier. For that matter unplug the TV. I’ve not been connected for 30 years. A major transformation. Goodbye stress. Goodbye being politicized.
