  Or all those tombs that have been raided, all due to video games...

  Oh, I guess it all goes back to Dungeons and Dragons....  Yup, we see an awful lot of people getting killed with 
swords in the past few decades

  World of Warcraft and Everquest 1/2 are three of the biggest online games as well...  I play EQ2 quite a bit (more 
than I should really), and it really bothers me when there isn't an orc in my driveway for me to kill in the 
morning.... Maybe I should go over to the dunkin donuts instead?  I'm sure lots of orc are there!

   Sorry... I'll never buy into the "video games are the reason for...."
excuses.  Especially in this case, do you know how many movies/books/etc
about bank robbers tunneling into a vault there are?  Tons of them....  
The idea certainly isn't new....

Every time I read the bible I have this compellong urge to flood the
entire world and kill everyone, except one family, or slay all the
firstborn of some country. But I've resisted that urge (so far). If I can
avoid being led into evil despite reading the bible, kids should be able
to resist the lures of video games.
