Console RPG's and the People Who Can't Help but Love Them

by Ben Dinehart

Shame! Shame on you and your nasty, heathen ideas of what an RPG is. Can you claim that the Lord Jesus has gifted you with the chance to participate in forming a story? Has heavenly father ever introduce you to the concept of being either a sinner or a solider of Christ?

For the majority of the lifeless, Jesus-less souls that populate the earth the answer is the same as how he responded to Satan's temptations: No! Why? For the Lord has deemed us unworthy of seeing his splendor and us as lamented descendants of the temptress and the apple eater have not to do but sin against him and take up the arms of console.

We had receded upon ourselves and shunned the ideas that the Lord gives of forming characters from the fruits of our minds and giving them and abode to live (and worship) in using the gift of our imagination. We have turned away from the dice and paper that he gave us, as surely as we turned away from acting out the scenes in our minds with those who thrive on assuming roles.

So we sinners languish in ignorance, but then we have something pre-made that he never saw fit to give to his children. We have found books and movies that allow us to act in part as the ones who riddle out the secrets, defeat the mighty foes, and proudly dance and sing triumphantly as if we were at Sunday service.

We have discovered the very fruits of Eden, that give us knowledge of places and things like huge chickens that can be ridden like the four horses of the Apocalypse, an item that with the down of a phoenix can resurrect man as if he were the Lord savior, and devils in the forms of cross dressing clowns. So we have again burdened ourselves with Sin that can never be wiped clean away.

Again I, for I am a sinner too, shall cry out for help from the shame that plaques us so. And I shall beg his forgiveness of his people's ignorance of what is truly of his making and his love. May Satan be chased away and takes his fruits with him, until that day I pray.
