May as well make them ready for the future, lest we do find ourselves fighting an enemy on our own shores. I have heard older fighter pilots say these new kids that have been playing video games from child hood can fly circles around them.

Okay, so what you're telling me is that we should start training our Christian children to kill? Why rob their childhood innocence and turn them into militants?

I have a novel idea. Instead of putting videos games into their hands that teach them violence and to kill, why not put a Bible in their hands and take them to church?

Christianity is pretty militant, last time I checked. You just direct that militancy toward the kingdom of the enemy, and enforce the dominion of Jesus. This simpy, wimpy crap has got to end if we're going to win the world to Christ.

It's about time the younger generation got a little impatient with the status quo. We need some prophets and apostles to rise up and take over! The Gospel must be preached to every tribe and nation, with miracles and signs following, THEN shall the end come.

And for the record, I don't agree with this silly 'Left Behind' garbage either. What, we're supposed to sit around and wait for the antichrist to take over? Forget that. He better be afraid of us!

I'll tell you this- my kids have a great childhood, and they are being raised in a miltant depiction of Christianity. Putting up with sin, sickness and poverty is not an option. You enforce the Kingdom, take dominion, and establish the rule of God.

Militants? What did God say to Joshua when He led them into the Promised Land and forced them to fight the most fierce people who were living in that land, the giants; as a means for God build the Israelis confidence in themselves?

Why didn't this peaceful God just kill all the tribes living in the promised land in their sleep? Because what is fought for, and bled for, and died for, and sacrificed for, is more precious than that which is merely given as a gift.

Joshua was so scared when he saw the size of the men charging his small band, he was on his face praying as the giants attacked. What did God say to Joshua: "Get off your face and fight". There is a time for every season under heaven, a time for peace, a time for war.

We tell ourselves the West is civilized, and we are, but the West is the minority in the world. Playing these games such as America's Army, written by military men, will not taint your kids. It will teach them team work, tactics, accuracy, and give them confidence in the event that they should ever have to defend themselves and their country.

Should China, whose economy we have set ahead centuries and are our biggest competitors for oil, ever get going they could wipe out at least two and a half billion of the world's population. All that lays between our being civilized and being back to tooth and claw is a light switch that works. I think these games are a great benefit.
