See ya, Yggdra Union!!

Good-bye, Yggdra Union!! Phew. This decision was quite hard to make. VERY. Let me explain why:
The game was very interesting at first. It's still pretty interesting now. I had tons of fun using the characters...Until it reaches battlefield...32? or 30? somewhere there. They involved God. MY God. MY King. MY savior. I know it's only a game, but does that even matter? The enemy, Marydm and his lackeys keep saying stuff like "Behold the wrath of God!!" during battle. But in the end if you beat them, they say stuff like :"God has forsaken us..." or "God, huh...He'll do us no good..." That was insulting. This is the Lord God for crying out loud! At first I decided to just keep playing, but a voice kept ringing back in my head, saying: "Do you really want to play a game that blasphemes your God?"... I had no answer. I just kept on playing. But slowly, I felt guilty. During our weekly Bible Study, I told our leader about it. She told us of how games like this could lure people to sin. They could think of stuff like: "Hey, yeah...What if God will forsake me if I lose?" or something like that. Then I made a decision: "I'll trash the data. I'll trash everything..." So as soon as I got home, I trashed everything. I deleted Yggdra Union from my computer. I wont allow a game like that to get between my God and me. I wont allow it to tempt me into making God my second priority. That's why I deleted it. It's just a game, anyway. I gotta hand it to the makers of the game, though--They did an awesome job with the gameplay and all. But they shouldn't have involved God like that. It's very insulting for me. I think they should've considered the feelings of the people who are serious about their Christianity... Anyway, what's done is done. The game's gone, and everything else is history.

notes:
  • I never did get past the stage where you need to beat Gulcasa (the second time). So maybe they'll "clean things up" with God and everything. But I still got ticked off, so forget it. It was still insulting for me.
  • Nope, this time I wont apologize to those who got offended/affected by what I just said. It's what I think: It's MY opinion. Why should they care anyway? It's only one dude's opinion.
  • So all in all, I do NOT recommend this game to people who are like me.
