There are certain natural laws that guide the universe, and if you must say that there is a god, those laws collectively - or nature - would be that god. I can go into more detail if you want, but thats the basic gist of it.

That is an issue you should hold against EA for giving this game a Teen rating, NOT drew. Further, why shouldn't drew do this? He's simply putting his beliefs out there. I am a pantheist - would I too be persecuted for hoping to educate the public on my beliefs IF they show interest? Frankly drew is being more adult about this than you are. He may be naive, but he is not running around trying to convince people of his beliefs. He is simply offering them a way to learn more should they be interested. This may be corrupt from your point of view, but whether or not something is corrupt is in the eye of the beholder. If you dont want your children exposed to this, dont let them play. Parents should educate themselves on a game before they let their child play it. And frankly, children are exposed to much worse at school than a little satanic church on TSO - your fear is not entirely warranted. Although it is a viable issue, I feel you are taking it out on the wrong person. BtT, you are concerned that children are being exposed to this.

As a Christian I believe that satan exists, but in a very different way to you. http://users.aristotle.net/~bhuie/satan.htm may help you understand at least some of where I'm coming from. I think the issue of child porn on this site is something Uri needs to address, not me, but I would personally be against it anyway. I may wake up in the morning and think "I'll cut the grass today" or "I'll have such-and-such cereal for breakfast..... but I don't recall thinking "Oh I'll just become a satanist today". I don't have $200 spare even if for some reason I did have that thought! I am assuming you got 'into it' because of your parents rather than discovering it independently?
