Nick,
If it makes your conscience question it, find something else. You are already ahead of your peers because most of them don't even care, but you have learned to listen to your conscience.
Don't ignore it. The Church would tell you whatever Jesus would:
- What would He tell you to do?
Take up something that demands some level of skill besides the games and recreation you mentioned. Here are a few ideas:
- musical instruments
- electronic music
- athletics
- art
- photography
- back packing/mountaineering
- archery (bow hunting)
- chess
- and the list goes on.
Use your imagination, get to forming a life skill that you can have fun with, and you may even impress some girls along the way which will add to your motivation to get better.
Youth is about adventure and finding your gifts. Branch out, don't think small.
- Besides video games, what are you good at?
Your faith isn't a set of don'ts, but rather do's.
Do something better that will bring glory to God, yourself, your family, and your country.
Peace,
Bob Kirby
