Video Games in Church! So what.

In the New York Times today, there was a story regarding the use of the game Halo 3 by religious leaders in order to lure younger populations to come to church. The article entitled "Thou Shalt Not Kill, Except in a Game at Church" by Matt Richtel discusses that although the video game uses the idea of "Thou Shalt Kill", it has been used as a type of marketing took by pastors and ministers throughout the country in order to gain more attendance from young boys and men.

Wow, I never thought of it that way, really- that by using video games to attract youth, religious leaders are being hypocritical in their teachings. Really, this article shows how sometimes how much of a big deal the little things are made in regards to religion in the media. I think that religious leaders should be praised for taking steps to try to relate to their youth. But I guess maybe they should just use a different video game. Then it wouldn't be such a big friggin deal.
