Re: Minecraft: Makes children sex slaves and destroys our economy!
Ok usually I can agree with you guys on most points when it comes to video games but here I must step in and explain to you why you have been mislead into believing this game is bad. I'm sure to no fualt of your on.
1: I have researched this game and my son plays it with his friends so I have what I belive is a acceptable amount of knowledge on this game so please atleast listen for one second to see how this game isnt what you belive it is.
2: The games graphics are due to the fact that Markus Persson is a "indie"( independent) developer meaning that he is not funded by a big company that could provide him with the money to make minecraft have the latest graphics. It is not in anyway to "mock God and His amazing creations" as it would seem.
3: The term griefing is not infact a mask name for sex slavery. the definition of a greifer is "
Definition for griefer:
Web definitions:A griefer is a player in a multiplayer video game that purposely irritates and harasses other players
They are indepent people who go around and destroy others creations to there own enjoyment, not to enslave our children. Many server actually have protections and steps to insure that greifers aren't allowed anywhere near your childrens creations. Greifers came be found on any game where a user can create something and not just minecraft.
4: The online Pedophile problem can be found anywhere there is basic chat functinalilty and is by no means directed at this game. While it is true anyone can create a server and have people join, it is a parents job to ensure children know never to give personal information out and how to reconize a pedophile.
5: Any pornographic images displayed in minecraft our the fualt of the users and not the game itself. It is as likely to find pornagraphic items on T.V. or the computer than on minecraft.
6: the underlined section can all be avoided completely because there is a singleplayer option of minecraft which is basically where you have your own randomly generated world to play in and no one can enter it in anyway shape or form, This means your child has the ability to build and image without fear or pedophiles or griefers.
7:Second to last is the so called "walking penis's" these are technically called creepers for there ability to "creep" up on a player and explode and are there to add a sense of danger and adventure. They have no connection to the male reproductive organs other than a small compareably appearance which is completly random and no child will make the connection without outside help.
8: Finally about destroying our economy... Creativity is pretty much the main idea for this game and in the bible it says creativity is a good thing
Exodus 35:31-32 And he has filled him with the Spirit of God, with skill, with intelligence, with knowledge, and with all craftsmanship, to devise artistic designs, to work in gold and silver and bronze,
The underlined section is exactly what children are meant to do in this game! Make artist designs!
It is true good created everything for us, that does not mean we should not strive to find the limit to the skills God gave us, in purticular(hard word sorry) a certain skill called a architecture was given to us bg God to make wonderful structure to live in and worship him in, without it great building like the churches wouldn't be possible.
The commercials you talk about were created by someone who thought up the idea. The house was designed by someone creative enough to design it. Mcdonalds was a new, revolutionary, and creative idea at the time it was created because up to that point no one had done it before. Theres always going to be a need for someone to image new creative commercials, some will always need to be creative enough to design new better houses and churches, and Mcdonalds will go bankrupt if creative and inventive people don't take the places of thoughs who become to old to lead it!
Thoughs are the skill minecraft specifically promotes.
That is why I think Minecraft is actually a helpful game. This is not a argument, just a factual description of the game to help you make your own decision about wiether the game is good or not
