Defend all you care to (who ever you may be) the problems "the few, the proud, the knuckleheads) perpetrate isn't a small number.

And Goosey Goose, I know you're going to ask: What's the number? Here it is: Legion

Carlson - I've got to take you to task here too. The only thing childish is the quote. Video games or those who enjoy them come from all walks of life, and just because you don't partake does not make them childish. This type of mentality to me feels much the same as those in the Anti-2A group that equate all gun owners as gun nuts because they don't like guns so why should anyone else.

Apples to oranges. We will agree to disagree. I have personally seen the damage done by the adolescents. I have spoken to several Law Enforcment administrators of the problems they cause in there Cities and Counties.

Anyone is allowed to stick their head in the sand if they so choose. Those who do are usually attached to the "game."

Reading the thread I am thankful I am not the only one who sees this as a nuisance and sometimes criminal.

I have said all I need to on this subject.

This is a big nuisance and I pray they go away. Is there anyway to change this other than praying these "adults" grow up?

The purpose of the church is not to reach the people inside the church building. The purpose is to reach the ones outside it. That's a lot easier when they come to you. Use it as an outreach. People who are out playing cell phone games on a Sunday morning clearly need Jesus. Go out there and share the gospel with them. They'll either want to come inside or go away. Either way they're not in your parking lot anymore. One of the area churches did something with "lures" to draw players in deliberately so that they could share Jesus with them. From what I heard, it worked pretty well. I think this game is a silly fad that will pass in time, but while it's here let's use it to bring as many people as we can to saving faith in the Lord Jesus Christ.

I like your style. "Here's a cold water bottle and an informational tract about our Church and our mission. Got a minute? I'd like to just ask a question or two to see if we can help you in any way."

Don't judge me.

That being said, don't Poké and drive.
