Re: Overwatch: Overdue For A Ban!

We are born of sin, and we die of sin. But Lord forgive me, for I have sinned, enjoying the 98 pages of pure lunacy in the replies.

We too enjoy the blessings bestowed upon us by the Good Lord when we suffer persecution on His behalf (Matthew 5:10-12).


Greetings friend! We sure would appreciate it if you'd abide by the rules and head on down to the introduction forum. Tell us about yourself and how you came to believe we all "die of sin." Those who die as sinners burn in Hell, whereas True Christians like me who walk in the light of Christ, blameless and pure as the driven snow, will find the gates of the Kingdom Eternal held open for them by Jesus Christ in all His glory. Praise Jesus!

You know, the saddest part is how stereotypes presented in "games" like this are accepted into the false reality of secularism. Whether (or how) a particular character contradicts what God has explained is dismissed as frippery. Next, and it can only be intentional, the fiction becomes part of the world they see.

Jeremiah 51:15 He hath made the earth by his power, he hath established the world by his wisdom, and hath stretched out the heaven by his understanding.

Defining a world other than the one God has established with values contradicting what He describes can only be satanic. Reinforcing it through "games" with secularist and therefore satanic values can only be intended to deceive. How is this different from the theatrical tableaux of a Romish mass?

I can see no difference.

This is why Minecraft is the most evil video game ever created. I've never heard of Overwatch before, but I have no doubt it is sinful and should be criminalized.

Re: Overwatch: Overdue For A Ban!

Satan doesn't care whether someone becomes a Roman catholic, a cannibal, an ayahuasca drenched shaman or a brainwashed dork doing mmorpg – anything to keep them away from Christianity. I'd never heard of Overwatch, wish I never had, the drivel its devotees produce is all I need to know I'll never play this appalling "game" any more than the Minecraft.

Satan's methods are quite flexible, mutating from one generation to the next and between individuals as required, according to his agenda. This has been described (perhaps a little more flowery than warranted) in a series of letters between demons conceived by C. S. Lewis and published as The Screwtape Letters. Here are two excerpts, still relevant in the postmodern era and as applicable to these wretched "gamers" as they were when written. Screwtape is the senior devil. Hell for as many as possible is his objective. He writes:

From chapter IX
An ever increasing craving for an ever diminishing pleasure is the formula. It is more certain; and it’s better style. To get the man’s soul and give him nothing in return — that is what really gladdens our Father’s heart.

Although not referring to computer "games" as such, because they didn't exist then, could there be a better description than "staring at a dead fire in a cold room?" Cold and empty lives indeed. Il dolce far niente.

From chapter XII
You can make him do nothing at all for long periods. You can keep him up late at night, not roistering, but staring at a dead fire in a cold room. All the healthy and outgoing activities which we want him to avoid can be inhibited and nothing given in return, so that at last he may say, as one of my own patients said on his arrival down here, “I now see that I spent most of my life in doing neither what I ought nor what I liked.”

The devastation is total. Whole lives constructed on a lie, knowingly created, transmitted from one to another as though the lie were real. Whether that is done in ignorance or for some other reason (such as to siphon off funds for a depraved lifestyle) the resulting delusion informs everything seen or heard, everything done or attempted, everything is assessed in that light as failure or success and if they care how others may be affected they're very good at pretending otherwise.

What we see in this thread are some of the failures doing neither what they ought nor what they like, even if they think they are which is perhaps the saddest part of the whole affair. Jesus died to bring us life. The gamer "community" chose something else instead.

Re: Overwatch: Overdue For A Ban!

Disgusting! The fact that this game is promoting LESBIANISM, is utterly REPULSIVE! And of course, IT’S THE WORK OF LUCIFER! But it’s just another one of Satan’s works, fear not, as Christ is coming soon!

[Alvin Moss]

Re: Overwatch: Overdue For A Ban!

Yes Darrell, the End is near. But in the meantime, while we are waiting, we cordially invite you to go to the Introduction Forum and properly introduce yourself. People might think you are rude to just barge into a conversation and anyway, the rule is that you need to write us a little introduction.

Tell us all about yourself and what you are doing for Jesus. We want to know all about you and your walk with the Lord.

Oh look, a prime example of how video games throughly rot the brain. Why don't you make your way to the Introduction Forum and tell us a little more about yourself. But please make sure to use proper grammar, punctuation, and capitalization.

Re: Overwatch: Overdue For A Ban!

and one thing i cant believe i forgot how dare you call ana a hag she is one of my favorite characters and i saw a video where one of the creative directors at blizzard said the reason they made her was because they wanted a stong older female character in the game and i love that they did that and you should'nt call anyone a hag no matter what

Well, a very pleasant good evening to you, Miss Jennings, and may I say what a pleasure it is for the servants of the to have you visiting with us, at .

Now, I do hope you won't mind my saying, Dear, but, normally, our newcomers write their first posting in our cordial Introduction Forum, which is where we like all new visitors to start. The link to that forum is here:

https://www.landoverbaptist.net/forumdisplay.php?f=16

Whilst there, please do take care to notice our friendly requests at the top of the page. But, I am only too happy to include them for you here, for your benefit, as well:

The introduction forum Attention Unsaved Trash: This the ONLY subforum you can start threads in. Here is where you introduce yourself. Tell us what church you go to and what your favorite Bible verse is and how you came to find Jesus.

We so look forward to getting to you, as we study the glorious together. It is my prayer that you will seek the Face of Almighty as you worship with us -- here, at .

...God does not make trash...

Scriptural support for the arbitrary limit you just imposed on these people's God required.

My word, Sister Esther! How did you ever decipher what she wrote there? I read it several times through. I actually tried reading it out loud but my husband was afraid I had been infected with a demon and he beat me with a broom until he saw the post. Then he became upset because he thought the computer had been infected! It took some explaining and he read the post several times. It was a confusing time for us both!

This is where I stopped reading. You see, intelligent people tend to express their opinions on subjects they know something about. In your case, how can you love a game that you never played?

God generally goes for the word "scum" but i guess it's all the same to you.

6 Wherefore thus saith the Lord GOD; Woe to the bloody city, to the pot whose scum is therein, and whose scum is not gone out of it! bring it out piece by piece; let no lot fall upon it. For her blood is in the midst of her; she set it upon the top of a rock; she poured it not upon the ground, to cover it with dust; that it might cause fury to come up to take vengeance; I have set her blood upon the top of a rock, that it should not be covered. Therefore thus saith the Lord GOD; Woe to the bloody city! I will even make the pile for fire great. Heap on wood, kindle the fire, consume the flesh, and spice it well, and let the bones be burned. Then set it empty upon the coals thereof, that the brass of it may be hot, and may burn, and that the filthiness of it may be molten in it, that the scum of it may be consumed. She hath wearied herself with lies, and her great scum went not forth out of her: her scum shall be in the fire.

Perhaps in your introduction you could identify this passage with reference to the idolatrous gaming community?
