Grand Theft Auto 5: simply a video game

Grand Theft Auto: Cinco

Cinco is Spanish for five

                   so far, grand theft auto 5 has sold over 800 million dollars in sales. and it has only been out for 2 days. along with making money, grand theftauto 5 has also brought up a lot of harsh comments from parents and people who think GTA5 is evil.

         1) is play endorsement?
                        no, this is a fake, virtual worl that is completely made up of cartoon, computer generated things and people. it is not real life and therefore compares nothing to reality.
     
         2) what do you get from playing?
                       considering all of the people i know that have the game, i rarely hear them talk about it, and most of them only play the game on the weekends when theyre bored and doing nothing. not one single guy i know has suddenly become interested in robbing a bank or killing people, they are simply the same person.

         3) who else in your life is playing?
                       as i said in the previous question, there is no difference in any of my friends that play this game. when they are at school or practice they talk about sports and think about sports. when im hanging out with them they talk about regular stuff and act normal. everyone is freaking out over this game when there is really nothing to be afraid of. just because someone playes a game it does mean there entire life is instantly going to revolve around that one game. this question is completely invalid.

           4) do you know when to quit?
                       quiting a game is as easy as going to the bathroom. when you feel the urge to pee, you go pee. when your tired or hungry or bored, you stop playing. when someone asks you to go do somthing like your mom or girlfriend or firends, you go with them. people should stiop asking kids if they know when to quit playing a video game, and start asking adults when they plan on quiting smoking and drugs and getting drunk.

           5) Should Christians who are indwelt by the Lord Jesus Christ have moral issues with killing people in a virtual world?
                      no. a virtual world is completely harmless, and despite what paranoid parents think, it will not affect their kids in any way. unless a cartoon, virtual, animated person pops up in front of them. killing virtual people is just about as bad as beating up little mushroom heads, or killing donkey kong. and last time i checked my dad wasnt running around dodging barels trying to save peach from an evil gorrilla.
