It is not unusual to see various religious groups criticizing videogames. Since this country is predominantly Christian in philosophy and dogma, it is this religious group that leads the attacks more times than not. From the recent post at 1UP showing a small group in Maine criticizing Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 2, to the older discussions against movies like The Da Vinci Code and the Golden Compass (which were turned into games as well), gamers and religious groups seem to be constantly at odds with one another.

Some interesting points though I think it comes down to how religious ppl interact with the gaming medium.
I think, for a religious person, as long as gaming does not take preference over their religion, and that they don't just accept violent acts, for example, in a game because its not real, then I dont think its that much of a problem for religious gamers.
Sure, I can see why some religious ppl can have a problem with certain games... their view points are valid enough because of their own cultural-moral values.
It really comes down to being able to discern, for religious games, between right and wrong, fiction and reality. etc
Though if you are not religious, then you can enjoy your games :)

Religion and the personal pet hates of the person who holds that religion are mortal enemies. I've seen just about everything condemned on religious grounds from gravity to the teletubbies.
