Grand Theft Auto IV

The video game is released this week.

That's right -- this is the most popular game among 12- to 14 year-old boys. This shocks even one of the game's creators, Lazlo Jones, who told the Post, "If you let your child play this game, you're a bad parent."

Cheng San, long time no see. I see you have joined the cult : )

Anyway on Grand Theft Auto.
I like the game, I haven't bought the latest one, but the previous versions were interesting. And I'm adding to your blog because I am more evil than you and like to draw out "righteous" judgement !

Anyway. Everyday we are killing people in the eyes of God. Hating, slander, ministry dominance oppressing people with spiritual gifts, bagging out people in our leadership groups. The bible talks about this stuff. So when we look at Grand Theft Auto IV, just keep in mind, its a more accurate version of a God perspective, than what we like to admit. Might that explain its appeal. Another idea is that humans are sinful, and while our law makes us seem to be "ok" truth is, we're spiritually stuffed, needing the blood, grace and sanctification through Jesus and the Spirit.
