Article in the NYTimes yesterday about churches using Halo to get teens involved in the community. I must say that I find it odd to have Halo events at church, but I don’t necessarily have a problem with it. My local parish had a Superbowl event last year and I didn’t think anything of it. I suppose I could see more of a problem with a game like Gears of War which is overflowing with graphical violence. I am not entirely sure why Halo has a “M” rating, for that matter. There is no blood. It is somewhat cartoon-ish. In fact, I think it is hardly more violent than Star Wars.
Still, it would be weird to play Halo at church.
