Hahah. As a born-again, Spirit-Filled Christian who grew up listening to Led Zepplin (whom I still like), I have always thought these kinds of links were vastly overstated.

One thing they have proven: kids who play video games of all types are more likely to be better surgeons and pilots than those who don't due to the familiarity with operating in different spatial dimensions.

Well, the nature of most of the anti-videogame campaigns is strictly post hoc ergo propter hoc, that is, Serial Killer X played video game Y as a kid and look how he turned out. Just because I played Doom a few years ago and turned out to be a rabid, gun-toting rightwinger with an antisocial attitude and a sexual fetish for pool toys, doesn't mean that everyone who does so will become a rabid, gun-toting rightwinger with an antisocial attitude and a sexual fetish for pool toys. That happy outcome is restricted to the lucky few.

I agree.

It's just a video game, just as it's just music. There's worse things to deal with, IMHO.
