Greetings friend!

Nice hat, btw.

You make a good point about fantasizing about sexual acts or hatred. And yes, Grand Theft Auto is clearly appealing to base instincts. I don't doubt that. That of course creates the rub with 'playing magic.'

I would first direct my questions posed to ADKing to you.

Secondly, I would simply say: My fear is twofold with all of this: Becoming overly tight because of a slipperly slope viewpoint and therefore condemning what is permissable, or becoming too loosey goosey in the opposite direction because I see the folly of the slippery slope viewpoint (I mean really, am I going to tell people that Mario is acting cruely because he jumps on tons of turtles, or that Zelda is engaging in witchcraft because he drinks a potion that makes him suddenly jump higher, or Street Fighter for violence and sorcery because they shoot fireballs at other virtual fighters?).

Thanks for the input.

Austin
