I have committed the worst sin several times this last weekend

Qcmbr

Jesus said that thoughts are as punishable in god's eyes as the actual act ( specifically lust but presumably this logic applies to all sins?)

This means that the greatest sins, the most heinous crimes , the weight of evil was not on the Somme or in any war or any physical crimes. They are all today, in the age of premeditated murder. This last weekend I purposefully searched for weapons with which to dismember , pulverise and exploderise other virtual humans. I have been responsible for the deaths of well over a hundred thousand humans and I enjoy it! I have even blasphemed the curse of death by implementing my own resurrection by the power of the save game instead of by the saving grace. Computer games plus thoughtcrime make me more evil than anyone from previous centuries.

Even as I write this , tongue in cheek, I know this thread will die just as firmly as the zombie faced with my chainsaw. Night all.

Well, just from my days of playing 'Goldeneye' on N64 alone, I'd be considered a mass murderer by now, with that logic. And all those innocents I killed with a lightsaber on 'Knights of the Old Republic'? I mean, come on...

Dang it! Why'd it have to be 6:07 p.m. as I typed that?

Surely this is a disfellowshipping offense??

I thought you meant that you criticized the GB several times this last weekend.

Isn't that the greatest sin in the eyes of the WTS?

Ahhh, but only if those avatars represent actual, SPECIFIC humans... IN your mind... and heart... dear Q (peace to you!). You can't murder/commit adultery with/covet the possessions of/bear false witness against, etc., something/someone that doesn't actually exist. Unless, of course, you are a bit psycho/sociopathic and BELIEVE those avatar "individuals" ARE real (vs. virtual)... and you truly WANT to murder/commit adultery with/covet the possessions of/bear false witness against, etc., "them".

Just for clarification, in case someone wanted to know... and absolutely no tongue in cheek, at all...

Again, peace to you!

YOUR servant and a slave of Christ,

SA, keeping it... well... real...
