[QUOTE="Triton7IV, post: 7650473, member: 6740759"] This thought paradigm comes from people who do not understand the game itself. He is right, we should stay away from evil, but evil comes from within. My parents are strict Christians and hated the idea of me playing such games. What people like that don't understand is Role Players (table top version) are generally more intelligent and more educated than their average peer. It is true, there is the occasional "Freak"that takes it too far. But what it really comes down to is how the child is raised. I've made the same argument to my wife about "First Person Shooter"games. They are not the reason behind mass shootings or school shootings. I have many friends who play both types of games, some of them a bit excessively. None of them have turned out the way that the government and fanatical Christians have proposed. The reason? Because they had good parenting. The ones who turn out badly are the ones who have bad parenting. Can they lead to evil? Sure... so can eating too many twinkies. [/QUOTE]
