I'm just wondering what other people since those are usually the types of video games I tend to play. I'm just curious what other people think. As for me, I don't think it's ever affected my faith. I mean, I've been playing video games since I was like 5 or 6 and they've never effect my faith, Actually I even started playing games like before I was A Christian. But I'm still growing as a Christian pretty fast, not as fast I'd like it too, but I'm still growing.
Actually the main thing that started this is that I started to find that my friends have started to change from what they used to be like since they were growing as Christians really a lot faster than I am. And there interests started to change. So that was bugging me, since I'm in between anxiety meds right now. Getting off one and starting anther(The new is also supposed to help my depression, and maybe even my social skills too.). But because of that my mind started to run wild since I my old med is only on half strength at the time, and the I haven't been taking the new long enough to have a real effect on me. Anyway, my mind made me thing that God would eventually make me get rid of all my games. After battling that fear for a while. and now that I'm the new med is taking more of an effect. My mind is getting more reasonable so now I'm just worried about this now. Long story short, it wasn't the holy spirit it was my ocd.
Anyway I get this weird feeling when something has a chance of effecting my faith. I'd guess it's some sorta form of discernment since it only goes off when a few times. Like when I found a girl I knew was a wiccan. When I was this documentary thing about the Crystal Skulls and they were showing some sorta satanic or pagan ritual. You know stuff like that. But it's never gone off when I've been playing video games like this. Probably because when I play video games like I don't usually focus on the magic since to me it's just either sprites, 3D models, or a particle system that makes up the magic on the TV screen I don't focus on it. The demons usually are bad guys in the games. The other gods are usually the enemies or sometimes they help you. But once again I don't' really focus in it.
BTW, I can honestly say that I wouldn't that afraid if Jesus walked on me if I was playing those kind of games.

Do you think it's talking about something like video games?
