aww, c'mon magnum (joe?), don't u know that sighing and groaning over the conditions around us help identify us on God's side?
this story is very sad. i don't think kids understand what death is. i mean, how many video games give u cheats for 'unlimited lives'? if u play halo, u can keep dying and coming back. i'm not saying these kids thought their little brother was going to come back right away, but i think satan's world desensitizes them to real life.
i feel really bad for the parents. here they are thinking someone kidnapped their son, and they were probably holding onto their two other kids for dear life...then they learn the two older kids were responsible for their youngest's death! they've got to be in so much pain right now. of course, i'm sure the media will dig up the fact that they were rotten parents and ultimately responsible for the whole situation. then, satan will succeed in taking down a whole family of five, and possible their extended family and friends as well (not to mention any classmates of the three kids).
'How long, O Jehovah, must I cry for help, and you do not hear? [How long] shall I call to you for aid from violence, and you do not save? Why is it that you make me see what is hurtful, and you keep looking upon mere trouble? And [why] are despoiling and violence in front of me, and [why] does quarreling occur, and [why] is strife carried?' (Habakkuk 1:2, 3)
Im sorry i have been playin video games for many years now, and i never once thought hey if i take this shotgun and shot someone they will come back to life. All that garbage about videogames to blame is stupid. Unless your are mental imbalanced nothing you watch on tv or play should effect how you go about your REAL LIFE.
This story is sad but there is dozens like this, maybe im desensitized to seeing them because they are basically becoming normal. But that is just the world we live in now.
i remember when video games first came out, and they've come a loooooong way. i hadn't played any in a long time, then i sat down with pac-man's world on PS. i was getting nauseous and worried about falling off the edge of the spinning wheels on the circus board. then, i figured out how to find extra life pieces. once i had 40 or 50 lives built up, i didn't worry about falling off the edge of the spinning wheels. that's what i mean about 'desensitizing'.
