http://www.landoverbaptist.net/showthread.php?t=24063These guys are so presumptuous and pompous, it's unbelievable. It ashames me to say that I have something in common with these fools. If there were ever a reason why Christianity is being completely taken over by Atheism, it's number one reason lies with these idiots right here.

It is a "Role-Playing Game" for the computer, very similar to the well-known Satanic Dungeons & Dragons.
What makes it satanic? Or is that based off your own opinions rather than what the Bible says?

You can pick various "races" for your character, including several demonic looking characters called "elves". With their pointed ears and eerie non-human appearances, it allows children to pretend they are a demon themselves.
Well, if you mean the regular elves, no. They're more lithe, have slightly pointed ears, and have some slight other non-appearance anomalies created by the developers, such as disease resistance and whatnot. If you mean the dark elves, then yes, they do look a little strange, however, to say they aren't humanly is overstating at the very least. Unless their skin color is your problem, which, may I remind you, is home to another race's skin color on our planet Earth.

The game is chockful of blasphemous magic and witchcraft. The player is able to perform a variety of spells such as hurling fire from one's hands, turning oneself invisible, forcing others' against their will to obey and listen to the character, and conjuring up demons from Hell to fight for the player. In fact, magic and witchcraft are a major part of the game and it's difficult to play the game without resorting to these Satanic means.
Excuse me, but magic is non-existent. So, it's hardly blasphemous, considering that it's not something you can do in real life. There is no witchcraft. There is no satanic rituals as which you become a lich or a devil/demon, or whatever. You click you C button, and you automatically cast a spell. No praising to satan whatsoever.

The game makes no mention of God or Jesus Christ, instead it pushes a mythology of "Nine gods". You can go to heretical chapels and actually pray to these gods in this game and they heal you!
Director wrote:
There is a realm called "Oblivion" which is definitely just Hell with a different name. You are required to go through this Hell environment during the game.
Indeed, because it's a game. Did you ever think, perhaps, with the Nine Divine's kindness and goodness, that they might be representing nine different aspects of our God? And that the sixteen Daedra lords, as well as whatever ones that aren't considered 'real' lords, represent different attributes of the devil? The daedra planes also represent hell, as to which you're fighting off devils and demons. There is no way to ally yourself in the game with the daedra. The entire point of the game is STOP the daedra.
Director wrote:
Thieving and stealing are promoted in the game. You are allowed to pickpocket other people and steal possessions. One questline of the game actually REWARDS the player for this sinful behavior!
Um, no, they aren't. If you're caught theiving, not only do you have to give the stolen items back, you have to pay a fine based on what you stole, and how many you did. If you don't have enough gold to pay, you have to go to jail and lose some of your skills.

You can do quests for these demons called "Daedra". By doing these quests, these demons reward you. This tells our children that by serving demons they will get rewarded.
Indeed, for in life, you probably will be. However, once you die, I'm not sure the 'Nine Divines', will be very happy with your behavior.

Alcohol in the form of beer, wine, and brandy is available to the player and can be drunk.
What's your point? It is not against God's Word to drink alcohol. If I recall correctly, Jesus drank wine at the last supper, no?
Director wrote:
This game promotes astrology. Upon creating a character, you are forced to choose a "birthsign". More occult ideas pushed upon the impressionable player.
Yeah, this was just some random game feature they decided to implement. The only reason you'd bother with one is because it gives you +statistics. If you believe in what the game's content shows you, then, good sir's and madame's, it is the fault of the idiotic player, not the game. Give some humans some +intelligence, will ya'? I think there's a birth sign for that...
Director wrote:
There are vampires in the game and a few of them are portrayed as "good guys".
I, of course, would assume that means that the character once fell prey to 'demonic' means, but some of them at least tried to redeem themselves.
They also condemned Catholics later in the topic. Way to go, that's a real good way to treat your so-called 'Brothers'.
I really can't stand people like this who dare call them Christians. They do the opposite of what the Bible tells to do. Instead of a being a kind, forgiving, humble person, they act like arrogant, hating, smiting snobs as to which is the opposite of what the Bible tells them to be.
