Are movies and video games that have magic, demons, other gods from mythology evil?
I’m just wondering what other people since those are usually the types of video games I tend to play. I’m just curious what other people think. As for me, I don’t think it’s ever affected my faith. I mean, I’ve been playing video games since I was like 5 or 6 and they’ve never effect my faith, Actually I even started playing games like before I was A Christian. But I’m still growing as a Christian pretty fast, not as fast I’d like it too, but I’m still growing.
Actually the main thing that started this is that I started to find that my friends have started to change from what they used to be like since they were growing as Christians really a lot faster than I am. And there interests started to change. So that was bugging me, since I’m in between anxiety meds right now. Getting off one and starting anther(The new is also supposed to help my depression, and maybe even my social skills too.). But because of that my mind started to run wild since I my old med is only on half strength at the time, and the I haven’t been taking the new long enough to have a real effect on me. Anyway, my mind made me thing that God would eventually make me get rid of all my games. After battling that fear for a while. and now that I’m the new med is taking more of an effect. My mind is getting more reasonable so now I’m just worried about this now. Long story short, it wasn’t the holy spirit it was my ocd.
Anyway I get this weird feeling when something has a chance of effecting my faith. I’d guess it’s some sorta form of discernment since it only goes off when a few times. Like when I found a girl I knew was a wiccan. When I was this documentary thing about the Crystal Skulls and they were showing some sorta satanic or pagan ritual. You know stuff like that. But it’s never gone off when I’ve been playing video games like this. Probably because when I play video games like I don’t usually focus on the magic since to me it’s just either sprites, 3D models, or a particle system that makes up the magic on the TV screen I don’t focus on it. The demons usually are bad guys in the games. The other gods are usually the enemies or sometimes they help you. But once again I don’t’ really focus in it.
BTW, I can honestly say that I wouldn’t that afraid if Jesus walked on me if I was playing those kind of games.

Do you think it’s talking about something like video games?

Right, they’re evil. Mostly because Christianity requires ignorance for the strongest faith. And every good Christian knows knowledge is evil.
Are fictional entreatment.
if it’s blasphemous, it’s evil. and if it’s evil, it’s A SIN!!!! DUN DUN DUN!!!!!
NO MORE GAMES FOR U CRAZY HYPOCRITE CHRISTIANS
Probably.
So what?
Abstain from all appearance of evil." 1 Thessalonians 5:22
Would that apply to hating others in the name of Christ? Just askin.
My mother once told me that, "If you allow satan to come into your life, he will, and he will take over"
She’s Seventh Day, though.
People really take it that far (religion restrictions I mean) ?
Well, Master Chief says to fcuk off
Yes, I think those kind of video games would also pertain to that scripture. I wouldn’t let my son ever play those kind of games once he gets older. Not just because they are violent and promote evil as being "cool" but it distorts reality, and that isn’t good for anyone, including people who have no belief in god.
I think like tetris and pac man, Christian games and mx vs. atx should be ok, but nothing violent and evil.
Remember Final Fantasy 7? Those were the days.
And no. That’s just silly.
I wouldn’t worry about it. There’s so much paganism wrapped up with Christianity itself that if God flipped out on ya for a few games, he’d be a hypocrite.
And if you’ve not spontaniously combusted by now playing them, I say you’re safe, LOL!
Of course it is fine to play all kinds of video games and watch "evil" movies. I play "evil" games all the time vampire, zombie and games where you worship other gods. I also watch these kind of films and listen to "evil" heavy metal.
So does that make my belief in God any less does that make my salvation become void obviously not. Just enjoy life like you normally would and do what you did before only with the belief of God and the salvation of Christ.
Christians that tell you it is all about yes and no right and wrong are the ones that think they are scoring brownie points for God. God only asks us for our belief and our worship. Now how is video games, movies, music going against this it doesn’t unless you are easily influenced by them and do what they do because you are stupid.
