Video games cause violence? I don't think so

Nor does Charles Cooper, who in an article for CNET News asks "If video games kill, what about the Bible?". The so called religious right, who one could easily argue are neither, tend to lead the outcry against violent video games, but their own book contains quite enough violence. Even worse, it suggests that violence is OK if it is what God wants. Since there is absolutely no objective measure of God's desires, this pretty much gives them carte blanche to commit any violent atrocities they fancy. History clearly shows that they have taken full advantage of the opportunity.
