The first thing on my mind is this, aren't there any decent Christian video game reviewers out there? Now I have to give props where props are due, www.pluggedinonline.com is a christian website put on by focus on the family that reviews all kinds of media including video games. And where I do appreciate this I often find that their reviews are lacking.... a lot. The main source that I go to for video game information is ign.com. Now as great as IGN is, they have almost no moral compass and there's plenty of things on the website to make a young christian guy.... or any christian guy for that matter.... to be tempted to look at things he ought not. So my question is where's all my christian gamers at and what are they doing for solid reviews? I had a flash of lightning inspiration this morning.... i've got a video camera and i like to play video games so why don't I do reviews?!? And then reality took a two by four to my face and reminded me that I have no money and that as cool as it would be to review all the games for all of my friends and fellow Christian gamers around the world, I still wouldn't get paid for it and it would eat up all of my time to do it all by myself. I will continue to ponder this great dilemma and get back to you if i do have any strokes of genius on the subject.
Now for part two of this exciting two parter blog! I recently found out some information about Obama's new health care plan. Now just like everything our new president says, it sounds amazing! Great health care for everyone, everyone pitches in to help everyone else, one big happy family etc. But I heard some incredibly disturbing things from people who actually read the bill titled "Health Care Reform." The things that are actually posted in this bill are down right scary, and not to be harsh, but down right evil too. We're talking socialist, Nazi, Satan evil. The rumor is that anyone can accept this new health care or reject it if they so desire to keep their own healthcare plane, but the truth is that if the bill is passed, everyone will have to use it regardless of if they want to or not. I'm not sure what all the health care companies are going to do if this gets passed, but I can't see a flourishing economy on their end. Also, and this is scary, there will be a committee that reviews individual claims to decide who does and does not get health care.... oh yes, there will be people who get denied further health care and now amount of money or pleading will help. How do they determine? Lets take a look. Lets say a 20 year old guy falls off a ladder and breaks his leg. He goes to the hospital to get it fixed and the committee says yes and he gets a cast yay! Now lets say a perfectly healthy 99 year old man does the same thing, he goes to the hospital, but the committee looks at him and says, "you've already lived a full life, we're reserving the health care for younger people who can better serve society" and the hospital, whether the doctors like it or not, has to turn the old man with the broken leg away. That's right, a committee will determine your worth to society, and decide if you get health care. Now I don't know about you, but if my grandmother got sick and was denied just because she's old, I'd be downright foaming at the mouth. The ugly truth is that this whole thing is based on Neogenisist views on life. Not familiar with the term? It's what the Nazi's thought about civilizations, superior race and stuff. This will force hospitals to give abortions and euthenasia. It will also encourage people to not live as long, that's right, not live as long. There's a bit in there that makes people have to visit a counselor every 5 years, who will instruct them on how to shorten their life so that they won't be a "burden" on society any longer. Now I don't want you to just take my word for it so i'm going to put a few links here for you to look at/listen to etc. The point here is that we need to take action FAST. Obama is forcing this through congress like a chuck norris forces his foot through a bad guys face: Fast and Furious. He's trying to get it passed before the general public even gets a chance to look at it, and not only that the bill is, get this, 1500+ pages long, who wants to read that? But on behalf of the American public I'm begging you, the american public, to DO SOMETHING. Not just sit there and say, man that's terrible. Please write your congressman and voice your opinion, pray heartily, and beg God to have mercy on this country for it's mess ups, because if this gets passed, it will be the first step to a socialist America, and I'd rather fight this at the polls than at the stake, know what I mean?
Well, sorry to end on such a sober note, but these are serious times and we need to be vigilant, because the enemy is one sneaky filthy... well you get the idea.
