we met with the youth pastor last night and had a quick but good conversation. he let us know that he wished more parents would come to him with questions and concerns (isn't that kind of the norm for homeschooling parents, though?) and said that if we wanted Halo 2 removed from the church we could consider it done.
that wasn't our intention, though it was tempting ... and he told us that that particular room is supposed to be locked during service. apparantly some smart (aleck) kids propped the door open and were, then, gainfully employed in the worship of the video game.
hmmm. my mom told me that had I not explained to her the basic premise of Halo 2 she was content to believe it was a game about celestial beings.
right. welcome to the youth group I never had growing up ...
(and, for the record, Halo 2 is also said to have been "over" rated to mature, not teen as it would be rated now. It is not my intention to get into a debate or onto a soapbox, I just know that I was surprised to find my boys playing the game at church, once the service had started, and that they were not alone.)
