If a portion of the proceeds were destined for charity, they would be sure to mention that I would think.

I fear this game reduces God to some distorted role of cosmic investment banker. That is not what I would want to teach kids. It would encourage them to give with the wrong motive, expecting to get something back, or out of fear of God as some kind of extortioist if they did not give enough.

Thanks for your thought provoking comments Tucker. I do my best to invoke criticism when i feel there is some validness to it. I don’t criticize when i feel that i just want to whine about nothing.

Do you listen to yourself as you read back your posts? I can’t believe how you criticize and whine in this article. To you the game might not be worth it. To me it isn’t worth it because I can learn the principles that they are trying to teach in other ways. (Like reading this blog) But to someone else, it may be worth it. Who am I to judge? or you? Have you even played the game?

They also are the ones that set the price. They will live and die by that price. I don’t envision buying one for that price just looking at the picture. Who knows, maybe the things gleaned from this game might lead to all kinds of thought provoking ideas that can lead to new forms of income that can lead to greater tithes and gifts to God. I don’t know whether $100 of the cost of the game are given to a special cause or need.

You do make some valid points about our culture being consumed with our own abundance. That is so true! I think it has something to do with covetousness, and envy. These things are hidden from our own view of ourselves.

I don’t mean to be critical or harsh. Not the spirit in which this was written.
