A Gaming Religion, eh?

I'm no hard core gamer, but I do enjoy video games and can appreciate hard core gamers. I guess that's why one of my favorite web comics is Ctrl+Alt+Del, which stars a couple of hard core gamers. Ethan is a somewhat delusional gamer with an active fantasy life and occasional moments of brilliance (for instance, he built a sentient robot out of an XBox). Lucas is much saner, and while still an avid gamer is more sensible and usually bails his best friend out of the troubles he lands in. It's a funny, well-drawn, and wrll-written comic.

Sometimes, though, two aspects of my life will juxtapose for a while. And for the last couple of weeks, CAD and atheism have done just that, with a storyline full of criticism of the ironies of religion. I'll spare you a dry synopsis of the comic and just give you the ticket right into the beginning of the sequence.

I love gaming...but I also love recognizing that (like religion) they are just stories. I can appreciate hardcore gamer more so that hardcore religious folks, that's for sure! But anyone too enveloped in fake stories...well as long as one knows they're just pretend and acts accordingly, then it's cool.

Naomi said...

I, on the other hand, am not a gamer. But CAD was great. Nothing like irony for beating the holy crap out of religion!

I especially liked "the challenge"! Just perfect.

Thanks, David.

That's simply the most stereotypical and inane argument used by atheists lately. In terms of intelligence, probably a little below Pascal's wager.

It's an asinine argument on its face. Saying "refute all other religions with one argument that doesn't also apply to your religion" is like saying "refute all other political views with one argument that doesn't also apply to your political views." This is the kind of stuff that helps self-righteous college-aged atheists feel like they have a sophisticated belief. Naturally it thrives at CAD.

There are plenty of points that can be made against Christianity and the other religions that have way more validity. This isn't one of them.

I like CAD too! Although it's a light gaming comic, not touching on the concept of religion except that joke :)
