If war and death is so awful why do we watch action films and play games about war, eg risk and battleships.

Battleships is a game we playd in school to learn about cordinates. However why do we let children play a game where the objective is to kill the oppposition,s sailors as efficiantly as possable.

Another thing I was watching charleys angels the film, the bad guy died at the end by getting blown up by a missile. And the three main characters didant care and probably thought it was good. And then we are expectd to be againt capital punisment. It was a comedy action film for gods sake, so now lack of respect for someone dyeing is a laugh, ha, ha, capital puneshment, halarious, death rather than reform, ha, ha.

The same with the matrix, except here innocent people were being killed by the good guys. Now I dont mind realistic films where people might be killed because of the story. But when the klling is supposed to add to the entertainment I find it out of order.

No Chess is about Checkmating and Caputing peice not killing or you could not get the Queen back.

When you get the Queen back, it's like the Resurrection.

You can't get your Pawns back though, those poor little guys have been run through (or Caputed) for sure...

No because she didn't die, she was captured

But isn't it the same with us? We never truly die, after all, we are just caputed by either God or the Devil.

You are right for once the Physical body dies but the Spirit lives forever in God Glory or eternal speration from God in the Burning sulfer of the Lake of fire.

Without a physical body, how do you think we would be harmed by a sulfrous lake of fire? Without flesh to burn, why should a lake of fire be threatening to us? Do you think it is a non-physical lake of fire awaiting the sinful; a spiritual analogue of burning sulfur?

Maybe, but God probably made it so in the Spiritual realm we probably will feel the pain of being away from God forever.

Yeah, you're probably right.


Anyway, we now return you to this thread already in progress...

You pose an interesting question, Edwin. I find it absurd that we freak out over nudity, sex, and "naughty" words, yet are fine with violence, animosity, and desire for revenge all throughout popular media.

The best part is how you can get up to nine queens at once! Besides it's not about 'getting the queen back.' It's more like a pageant. If one of the eight contestants can reach the 8th rank then poof! Cinderella. King gets a new wench.

Aside: (In Spanish, I believe they use the verb comer when refering to a capture so perhaps Spanish-speaking cultures are more brutal with their prisoners 🙂 )
