i've read about harry potter and pokemon stuff, but there are many people out there who play MMORPG's (massively multiplayer online roleplaying games), and some have you choosing a race like elf, dwarf, or human, and some you use magic, or slay demons.

my question is if it is alright to be involved with those games in a safe level?

that is a very interesting question, and it is something to think about.

When you look at it that way are any games alright that involve killing or stealing such as GTA.

#1 Do we know the difference between real and pretend.

I do, but does that make a difference to the LORD god.

If it is within a fantasy environment, it is safe, Kyle.

As long as you don't actually believe and try to indulge in real-life witchcraft (which I'm sure you're smart enough not to :) ) then it's fine.

Yes, but these games promote killing in a more positive sense, and usually do not promote or reward criminal behavior.

Such things can probably brainwash people who don't see what's going on. Subliminal messaging.
