i struggled with this same thing a long time ago as i am an avid D2 player... turns out, we have freedom in christ! unless it is a blatent sin, do what you like to do! God made you that way for a reason... Trust that God will give you the green light through what you enjoy doing, but always be on the lookout for signs that give you the red light. Our God is powerful enough to stop us from doing anything, don't you think He cares enough for you to show you that you are doing something wrong when you are doing it? You have the Holy Spirit inside of you, and you enjoy playing a video game, that means God also enjoys playing it with you. We are all different and we all have jobs and play our roles while we are here.... some play D2, some kick footballs, and some like trigonometry. If God made us all the same way that wouldnt be any fun! I, myself, have found out that I have done more spreading of the good news over Diablo 2 than in person LOL. once again... God works in mysterious ways my friends!

I couldn't agree more. My Uncle got on my cousin years back when he played D2 all the time. My cousin actually had to hide playing the game because my Uncle thought Diablo was the 'Devil'. My Uncle was and is still very religious, but I never agreed with his stance on playing a video game. As long as you keep it what it is, a game and only a game, I don't think God has any problem with it. In fact, you're goal is to kill Diablo or 'Devil' so he's on your side! I guess my Uncle was worried about my cousin getting to involved in the game and believing the story line.

God bless.

Agreed. The top 10 question series and the Revelation Series, I did that here. I am here originally because of Diablo 2. What a good game Diablo 2 turned out to be.

some people enjoy killing other ppl (mass murders etc) so by your logic god also enjoy killing with them? just because you like something doesn't mean you have green light to do anything you want.

you have to be carefull and not get distracted by false joy mate
