is it a sin to play this game?

[Jabre]

Destroy all Humans is a video game where you get to see the other side of an alien invasion: the alien side, where you play as Cryptosporidium, an alien of the race known as Furons. the goal is to wreak havok on human society in all sorts of ways and extract the brain stems of humans. I often go on mass killing sprees in this game for fun, much like i used to play Grand Theft Auto. come to think of it, this game is basiclly a T rated GTA with more aliens. My main issue with the game is actully how it tempts me. i often get intrusive thoughts about sacrificing the people i kill in the game to the devil. should i be playing this?

The fact that you are asking speaks volumes. If you think it is then it is.

I think fluffy is trying to tell you to go do something else.

Of course it is dark, and giving you ideas about sacrificing people to the devil. And i think you know this.

There is a verse in the Bible that I always think about when i see this type of thing

2 Cor 3:18 "But we all, with open face beholding as in a glass the glory of the Lord, are changed into the same image from glory to glory, even as by the Spirit of the Lord. If we dwell on the Lord and His goodness, we will begin to reflect that."

and,

Phil 4:8 "Finally, brethren, whatsoever things are true, whatsoever things are honest, whatsoever things are just, whatsoever things are pure, whatsoever things are lovely, whatsoever things are of good report; if there be any virtue, and if there be any praise, think on these things."

Whatever you are around or allow yourself to view, changes you. If you continue to play games which give you bad ideas, you are moving on dangerous ground. You need to stop.

Maybe you should quit playing all together. Not trying to be mean here, but you don't seem to exercise good judgement on your choice of games.

maybe you're right. i DON'T WANT TO sacrfice anything to the devil or any idol though, which is why i said these thoughts are intrusive. i would never purposefully so such a thing.

I think in your heart, you know the answer.

Yes!

Sometimes intrusive thoughts come from thinking on your own too much. That is why I say go do something else, go get a cheeseburger, help someone with something, go do something "normal" outside of yourself.

They start to form and "misfire" out of inactivity, isolation, or ruminating too much.

If you've ever in your life watched a horror movie alone at night and immediately had to watch QVC or something funny with all of the lights on to feel "normal" again, you know what I am talking about.

You don't want to stay there. Do something else.

Btw @Jabre reading your description of the game, yes, it is a sin.

I'll just point blank answer.

Check out Little Light Studios stuff on gaming if you need some clarification, but I think this one is most fitting and a more direct answer for your question.

Little Light Studios is a cult. don't listen to them. they make some good points sometimes, i'll give them that, but they think anything that's not completely Christian is 100% satanic pretty much. at least that's what im getting from what ive seen from them.

Oh?

I think it would be valuable for yourself to pray for discernment. Knowing the value of goodness and discernment is not evil. That is wisdom.

Filling your mind with images of murder and evil is darkness.

Look at what you are calling good and what you call evil.

"Woe unto them that call evil good, and good evil; that put darkness for light, and light for darkness; that put bitter for sweet, and sweet for bitter!"

Decide for yourself what is right. Is what you are experiencing fulfilling? Or healthier? Is it holy?

I'm dead serious, brother @Jabre. You're perceptive enough to have recognized how unhealthy these games are. I like you 'cuz you've always been open and honest about your struggles, and I hate seeing what these games are doing to you.

It's no joke. Get rid of it and repent of your evil thoughts.

C'mon man!

 

[whitemorning]

Destroy All Humans sounds like it's going to offer a unique twist on the alien invasion genre, but if it's giving you some disturbing thoughts, you might want to take a break. Your mental well-being is important, so maybe try another game httрs://777brazino.casino/ that doesn't trigger those feelings. I think it's really worth switching to some entertainment to relax a little and be in a good emotional state

If any game tv program, film, you tube or book has adverse affects on you.

Stop Watching, Playing etc.

Two things: one, live by imagination, don't die for glory (better a cowardly dog, than a dead lion - OT)

Two, the heart of play, is the time it takes to do good (selah). In other words, you should be playing a game that not only allows you to do good, but improves on how good you are.

You may imagine you are an alien, and that eradicating humans is good, but don't worship your alienness and if you can't find a way to justify being alien, find a different game?

Just FYI, God let me play and play a shooting game, until I came across a really gratuitous death and God was like "That's enough, you don't need more gore than that" - so I stopped playing that type of game. God wasn't upset, but there were clearly boundaries that He would prefer that I kept.

Games like this are designed as fictional entertainment where the actions have no real-world consequences, similar to how we can enjoy horror movies without wanting to become serial killers. However, if you're consistently having disturbing thoughts that make you uncomfortable while playing, it might be worth taking a break from this particular game. Perhaps try games with different themes or mechanics that don't trigger these intrusive thoughts for you. Remember that intrusive thoughts are common and don't define who you are as a person, but your enjoyment of games shouldn't come with psychological distress. Gaming should ultimately be a fun, relaxing experience rather than something that causes you moral conflict or anxiety. If these thoughts persist or begin affecting you outside of gaming, it might be helpful to talk to a mental health professional who can provide proper guidance.

I notice this thread is 3 years old. I've also seen some of your recent threads. My goodness, how you've changed in 3 years, @Jabre!
