hehe my priest played a TON role playing games back when he was younger. In fact just last sunday he was telling me about the his favorite \'cults\' that he was in, in the game.
Obviously not all rpg\'s are bad, since he has got to be one of the most firm christians i know, and he enjoys them.
I think that with rpg\'s, and many other things, the internet, music, etc, it really all boils down to what sort of person you are. If you have a personality that inclines you toward violence then yes, maybe it will take you close to the violent act. But if your a good person it wont have any negative side effects on you. It will just be a game that you play, and infact it could actualy have positive effects if it is drawing you and your friends closer together as you play.
