WWJF – Who Would Jesus Frag?

With increasing frequency, state houses around the country are fingering video games for a variety of societal ills. The most popular complaint is that violent games cause violent bahavior. While evidence of such claims is dubious, speaking out against games seems to be a popular pursuit, particularly for the more conservatively inclined among us.

At least one student at North Greenville College, a South Carolina Southern Baptist liberal arts college dedicated to a "biblically sound, Christ-centered environment," is bucking the trend. NGC's game boy, Ryan Stone, thinks Jesus wouldn't object to a little fragging between friends. In fact, he'd grab a (virtual) gat and join the fun.

"Jesus, my Creator that gave me that urge to want to be the hero that saves the day, would most likely partake in a friendly game of Halo," writes Stone. "He'd probably even beat me terribly and make me look like I'd never played. I'd even hope for a little humorous religious smack talking."

No word from Stone on whether Jesus would tackle Dance Dance Revolution with or without sandles.
