Generally I would agree with Joseph. I don’t think you can trace any violent crimes back to the games they play, but by playing some of these games it can desensitize people to violence. And by desensitizing them; they seem to lose some moral qualities as well. Especially if they do not have a strong moral foundation to begin with. But I digress.

VV does have a lot of teachable attributes, and I have thought for some time to write a biblical lesson plan using the game as the illustration. The plan would be to give each person the game and have them play it throughout the week. Some points would be:

We want the villagers to pick berries, but they are so worried about food, they just run around. God want’s us to live for him, but we get so worried about our problems, that we just run in circles, not thinking that he is the way to fix it.

Or, when the storm comes and washes away all of our food, the GC has a party, and we just join in, instead of taking care of ourselves.

If anyone would like to add any others, please post here if you like.
