Our Youth, The Bible, and Role Play
A Lesson From A Creation
I watched an ad the other day, where 2 men were video game dueling
One said to the other
“Bow before your God”
Something role play and role playing video games has taught me
Is that in stories,
we try to place ourselves where we fit
In rpg video games,
the player is generally the first character in the story and has control of it
We have a sticky emotion to the first character in any story we partake in
In the bible
God is the first character
And while it states he created some people
It is not easy for us to perceive ourselves specifically as that Adam or Eve
So as we go along reading Genesis we creations are constantly trying to find our place
What Ive noticed is that while reading the bible,
if a creation cannot perfectly fit themself into the story,
and early
They start to focus on God
Because he is first in the story,
And the hero
This is half good and half a trouble
Because the reader is so emotionally in depth with the God character
The reader tries to empathize and sympathize with God so much that they have not enough focus of who they are
They are reading a story,
An important one,
About creationism and family history
Yet they do not have place of who they are
Their entire perspective investment is in how awesome it would be if they were God
Now,
before your frustrated
I have a suggestion
In the beginning of the bible,
It would be wise,
To specify to the reader that they are a creation, a descendant, a child, of God
The creation reader is already reading the bible half invested that they are a creation, not knowing exactly who or when, and half on “God is so awesome”
It would be very wise to specify to the readers that God is the parent and the reader the child
When we fail to do that
We have children that want to be God
Which is half good half problem
Because it is loving, but it is impossible
We only have one oldest parent
We shouldnt try to be someone were not
Even though fantasy is good
Mental stability is important
We should try to have both,
Properly
It is not healthy for creations to believe themselves to be the creator
Lest the creator and creation fight for title
As God in genesis said
Enmity started because of the serpent
And the serpent claimed there was more than one God
