I don't mean to talk about games, but just in general...like movies, or books

Would you not play for example Persona 3, because it seems satanic?

I guess my whole point is would religion keep you away from exhibiting quality things...a bit vague...but yea...

Nope, not at all. I'm not religious, but I used to be and it didn't bother me even then.

Why would that be a problem? Its fictional.

And any game where you shoot yourself in the mouth to heal yourself is a winner in my book.

If it's Satanic, it'd probably be graphic/disturbing. Even if a game is disturbing without being Satanic, I won't play it.

But if it's a religious game, I probably wouldn't play it either. :lol:

Just because I play a videogame that has satanic undertones doesn't mean im going to go consorting with demons in real life. I'm not religous so this is hypothetical for me.

I would want to play it all the more. Depending on if the game is good anyway. Persona 3 is just weird(but fun),not satanic.

A few pentagrams don't botherme (like doom 3 for example) but if it's outright supporting satan or killing angels (like inferno) then I won't play it. You gotta problem wit that?

Well,technically you shoot yourself in the head,which expels your 'soul'(Persona),which can then heal you. :P

Satanic not as in hellish, but I mean just the concept of shooting yourself in the head, which is something you go to hell for in Christianity.

I only commented on what I've heard. I still have to pick it up sometime soon.

Well, that is only if you actually KILL yourself. In Persona 3 you HEAL yourself by doing so.

So,if you shoot your ear off your going to hell? Nah,they arn't commiting sucide,their useing something that expells the 'persona' from the body. Just saying. Besides what is Satanic is subjective,like the people that claim Pokemon is satanic,or harry potter is going to burn in hell.

Of course not. Religion isn't a part of my life. For example, I love Doom and there are inverted crosses in the middle of the game.

See, this is the one thing I've never understood. There is Satanic imagery in Doom and many Christians are offended by it yet they fail to remember that you are FIGHTING the forces of Hell to SAVE humanity. If anything, I would have thought more Christians would actually enjoy the game seeing as how they could fight everything Hell had to offer except the Devil himself.

As a Protestant I'm not into the whole religion thing but I do believe in God... in a way. However I wouldn't let religion come inbetween my choices whether it's entertainment or judgement. Video games, music, television and/or movies, books or any other type of media.

Heh, never thought of it liek that, not like doom offended me at all. It was just a bad game. well doom 3 was. As for me, I donno depends on how graphic and the premise of it was. Possibly haha

Well, something that's related to Satan or hell fire is bound to offend at least a few people out there.. no matter how mild. Some people just forget that these are games at the end of the day. It's not like Doom has turned me into a homicidal freak or anything.

actually the pentagram doesn't symbolize satan in the least. when it's upside down it could represent satanism (which has nothing to do with the worship or satan oddly enough), or black magik.

Depends on if the game is worth the disturbingness. If it got a 8.5 or higher and everyone was raving about it, a little satanicness wouldn't bother me. I mean doom did it prty well.

Indeed. It was/is a pagan symbol for "life" or "health."

Depends how much is in it. Generally I would say no, but if it is brief and not the point of the game, then sure.
