I read in the NY Times this past week, that a church in Colorado was using Halo 3 as a means of spreading God's Word. Allowing children below the regulated age of 17, which is the age legal required to play Halo 3, was OK because they "want to make it hard for teenagers to go to hell", accoring to Mr. Barbour. Children as young as 12 years of age were playing this violent game saying that, "It's just fun blowing people up."
I cannnot believe that a Church would ever steep so slow as to have a Halo 3 tournament. That is absolute dispicable. They are not only breaking the law, but somehow think they are saving children from hell by allowing them to play a shooting game? They are doing anything but! I think the title of the NY Times article sums it up best saying, "Thou Shalt Not Kill, Except in a Game at Church."
