Relates to Christians only based on the context of Romans 14:
"1Accept him whose faith is weak, without passing judgment on disputable matters. 2One man's faith allows him to eat everything, but another man, whose faith is weak, eats only vegetables. 3The man who eats everything must not look down on him who does not, and the man who does not eat everything must not condemn the man who does, for God has accepted him. 4Who are you to judge someone else's servant? To his own master he stands or falls. And he will stand, for the Lord is able to make him stand.
5One man considers one day more sacred than another; another man considers every day alike. Each one should be fully convinced in his own mind. 6He who regards one day as special, does so to the Lord. He who eats meat, eats to the Lord, for he gives thanks to God; and he who abstains, does so to the Lord and gives thanks to God."
If you aren't a christian, don't reply. This isn't directed at you.

So if a person goes and steals a tank like in Renegade, they should ban Renegade from being played online and being sold in the First Decade?
Because if they ban everything thats "corrupts" a persons mind, you wont have TV, Radio, Games, Computers. WOW I see the old caveman days coming back if we do things from your point of view.

Anyone can quote!
But what is YOUR opinion, YOUR thoughts, YOUR ideas?
Think outside the circle.
Have you been in this situation, felt it, experienced it, know about it? When, where, why , how? tell us.
But dont just quote, anyone can do that, yet that is not what this is all about.
For once put the bible and religion aside. We ask for whats in your head.............doh the bible is!!! I cant think for myself.
"Oh yeah.....here comes a stupid reply "quoting the stupid .............doh the bible is!!! I cant think for myself. Oh yeah.....here comes a stupid reply"
We believe in the tooth fairy too

Yeah, what would I as an intelligent, useful, contributing member of society who tries to help others in accordance with scripture know about the REAL truth of the universe?
It's pretty clear I just need to get stoned and burn bibles and everything will be clear.
10 Bucks says somemone from a local church will visit you when you are thrown in jail and everyone else has forsaken you.
You can tell them then that they are morons for caring about you.

What was the original topic again?
There is no way to protect kids from acting out their fantasies. The fact that some people are trying to prevent that not only shows a complete lack of common sense, but also a complete lack of responsibility. The only reason they want to "protect" them from books, violent video games, and TV is so they don't have to worry about not giving them proper supervision themselves.
The problem doesn't lie in what is being published; it lies in the parents themselves. If you don't want your kid to read Harry Potter, fine. Do it in your own household, don't try to enforce your beliefs on everybody else.

Ug-I really don't beleive this. The scary part about this whole thing is that its probably going to happen! My old middle school just got rid of some Harry Potter books-but some kids pettioned to get them back-and thankfully they did. They also tried banning the book "The Giver" from our the 8th grade curreculum. It really is stupid now how EVERYTHING we read has to have happy ending or a happy message, otherwise we face the worst kind of terrorist-the ANGRY MOTHER kind. Hell i'll take Bin Laden over the PTA mom.
ZOHMEG! WHO SHOT ME!?

It’s interesting to read everyone’s opinions.
Now we are to blame Christians and others like them for censoring books, playing tag, things of this nature. I guess maybe some of you are too young to remember why things are the way they are today.
PMRC:
Does anyone remember Tipper Gore, Al Gore’s wife? Common has to be some liberals here, what good did this woman do for us. Let’s see. Ahhh yes she is the one who had warning labels put on music for explicit lyrics. Actually this turned out to be a good thing for the industry because their sales went thru the roof. Still the point is its censorship. Now I don’t think she was a bible thumping Christian.
Political Correctness = Censorship
Heres something I found online that explains this very well lol

I could go on, but i got games to play  Censorship is censorship and I for one being a Christian do not believe in censorship. Extremist on the left or right is wrong.
The lady who wants to ban the Harry Potter books because it promotes fantasy. I wonder if “Santa” brings her kids presents.
