Lately there has been much ado in the media accompanying the release of a new crop of Christian video games, I came across this quote by a pastor on the subject:
Where does the doctrine of vocation fall in all of this? I say a first person shooter about a US (or any nation’s soldier for that matter) marine fighting for his nation is Christian enough. This is also true for the sports game - where you pretend to live out the vocation of an ahtlete and entertainer. Thinking that a “Christian” video game means fighting evil spirits with “swords of the spirit” encourages a false dichotomoy between spirituality and “real” life. Being Christian is being a baker, a bus driver, and a father. Games that allow me to escape to another vocation are as Christian as it needs to get!
