Biblereader, the subject came up during a casual discussion about Dungeons and Dragons and similar games. When the definition of what a wizard is, I said it's a male version of witch. But someone said it's not. I think a lot of these games and movies want to portrait the idea that there are good wizards and evil wizards. I wanted to make sure my understanding is not off base.
I have 2 family members who are serious gamers. One is obsessed with it, and has been for years. These interactive, live games online now bring the gamer into the occult, whether or not they admit it. I've watched people play online games for days. It's all about magic, powers of darkness,sorcery, witchcraft, witches, wizards, imps, fairies, trolls, casting spells, blood, demons, devils, and in short, the games are a world of
darkness, into which the gamer slowly becomes greatly involved. These games are wicked, and they capture some people's minds and hearts.
Have you noticed that you can NOT interrupt a gamer? They will forsake everything and everyone else, to stay in the game, to keep fighting whatever they fight.

Here's some of the better known game sites, if you need something to pray about this weekend:
http://www.worldofwarcraft.com/index.xml
(I know a bit about this one: http://www.cityofheroes.com/)
http://boards.cityofvillains.com/ubbthreads.php
http://www.blizzard.com/us/diablo2/
http://www.runescape.com/
and, of course: http://www.wizards.com/default.asp?x=dnd/welcome

Don't let the face of COH fool you. It's chock full of demons, magic, and all that.
