Sure it's virtual but to even enjoy some ideas in your imagination is wrong Matthew 5:27-28. On a side note: I'm bewildered as to why any Christian would enjoy being a seriously (not campy, silly, your penguins will be mine) evil person in some games. Saw this yesterday and wondered good? bad? pagan rituals? Also I'm pretty sure Skyrim has some elements which the ESRB won't cover like how far magic stuff goes. Rather than the looking just at the M look at the descriptions of actual content to decide. The context of actions not just the action needs to be considered. In other words like the person posted before me the ESRBs M rating is not Biblical based. Rather one's objections should stem from the lack of justification or glorification of said violence. Thing is I also don't hold to un-biblical idea that "Christians are pacifists". Skyrim probably derives most of it's M rating from blood and gore which admittedly can be bad if glorified for the sake of violence alone. That's because other games of it's type set in more modern environments typically have more cussing. I'm personally more inclined to purchase Skyrim than other games of it's type I've looked at before (and I may eventually). If you act like a whiny "I can't live without playing it" child it will be longer before you play anything. Then discuss it with your parents and respect their decision whatever it may be. Think about it's content, continually ask what is right and wrong about everything. If it helps any remember if you want to play a game like Skyrim be mature yourself first. This is particularly true with children who lack experience to have a fully developed sense of right and wrong. From these people can become desensitized or come to a skewed sense of right and wrong in real life. Speaking very generally, the moral problem occurs is when sinful actions are portrayed as beneficial or worse good (some evil actions have benefits in games because people would never choose those paths otherwise). Sandbox style games generally let you do anything as that is the point.
