Computer Games — Menacing the Soul

July 21, 2008

It instils the poison of hate and murder and softens the participants of the seriousness of the violation of the sixth commandment. Gamers often openly and without reflection make remarks about how they like killing their opponents.

Gamers are sometimes in such a state of desperate frustration that they loose control over their tongues and start swearing, blaspheming, and sometimes loose complete control and start destroying keyboards or worse.

Now ask yourself, is this normal, natural, healthy human entertainment?

They become frustrated angry young men, mad at themselves and their struggle to master the game. But the game is designed to be a constant challenge and is always extremely unforgiving and merciless.

An article in The Lancet, Feb 2005, confirms what many of us suspected: violence on television and in computer games does make children more aggressive and fearful. Boys are more susceptible than girls and, doctors now say, exposing children to such images is tantamount to “emotional maltreatment”.

Violent games are addictive and provide entire alternative worlds for bored and curious children. Exploring these worlds and their many levels can take weeks or months. That is weeks or months spent alone in the creepy glow of the console screen, inhabiting a universe where everyone involved is brutalised and brutalising. Allowing children access to these games is a form of abuse – http://www.timesonline.co.uk/tol/news/article516502.ece

Gamers become desensitised to violence according to Psychologist Bruce Bartholow. http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/health/4594376.stm

My personal opinion is that people that are stimulated by a particular scenario will be attracted and tempted to participate in such a virtual world. I tend to think that psychologically the Gamer will, when in a similar real world scenario, be enticed to react with the same behaviour required in the playing of the game. In other words he will be provoked to kill and will realise too late that he did not have to act like that.

Why am I saying that? The evil practice of hypnotism by Pavlovian methods, called Monarch Slave Programming, is what I think can manifest when the world has reached the lowest stage of decadence. As it is written, parents and children will think it nothing to betray each other unto death — a sad situation indeed.

“And the brother shall deliver up the brother to death, and the father the child: and the children shall rise up against their parents, and cause them to be put to death.” — Mat 10:21

The child is abused by the intense frustration of the playacting and at the same time is programmed to act in a depraved manner. Let’s be careful, “Lest Satan should get an advantage of us: for we are not ignorant of his devices.” — 2Co 2:11.
There is also the doctrine of acting out prophecy.

2 Timothy 3:1-4: (KJV) “This know also, that in the last days perilous times shall come. For men shall be lovers of their own selves, covetous, boasters, proud, blasphemers, disobedient to parents, unthankful, unholy, without natural affection, trucebreakers, false accusers, incontinent, fierce, despisers of those that are good, Traitors, heady, highminded, lovers of pleasures more than lovers of God.”

Proverbs 30:11-14: “There is a generation that curseth their father, and doth not bless their mother. There is a generation that are pure in their own eyes, and yet is not washed from their filthiness. There is a generation, O how lofty are their eyes! and their eyelids are lifted up. There is a generation, whose teeth are as swords, and their jaw teeth as knives, to devour the poor from off the earth, and the needy from among men.”

Isaiah 1:4: “Ah sinful nation, a people laden with iniquity, a seed of evildoers, children that are corrupters: they have forsaken the LORD, they have provoked the Holy One of Israel unto anger, they are gone away backward.”

When I observe Gamers playing, I see emotions ranging from sadistic laughter, to outrageous anger, to uncontrolled hate speech; all in a matter of a few minutes. This is plainly unacceptable. They are always the losers, coming back for revenge that’s never satisfied.
