		<description>Flav,

As Jessireebob suggested, I would not say those things are bad, nor that we should play with barbies.  The only issue I raised was professional fighting.

Furthermore, though I highly doubt Jesus in his glorified state would kick around a soccer ball or stop by my church BBQ for some ribs, I&#039;m almost positive that while on earth he &lt;b&gt;did&lt;/b&gt; participate in those types of activities.

I think the question should not be posed as &quot;WWJD?&quot;, rather, What would Jesus want ME to do?</description>

		<description>Flav, you write, &quot;meh, and next you’ll say that video games that have blood in them are bad? so maybe we should all...&quot;

But, if you didn&#039;t already realize, in the original entry, the writer states:
 &quot;I’m not going to go on about how detrimental video games, toy guns etc. are, but there’s something unique to professional fighting that crosses the lines of the &#039;make-believe&#039; cops &amp; robbers games you’d play as a kid.  I mean, this is the real thing.  Two guys beating each others brains out!&quot;

I don&#039;t want to get into a debate about all of the stuff you said, but it appears to me that you are simply justifying yourself (trying to) instead of trying to find a real solution (if &quot;solution&quot; can even be used here at all).</description>

		<description>I don&#039;t think that it matters if Jesus would play soccer or not, the message that fighting, such as MMA, sends out to the viewer is what should. Everyone has a calling, some people raise money by playing sports for charity. There&#039;s nothing wrong with that. The idea the fighting under limitations and restrictions such as a sport is a OK I think should raise the question.</description>

		<description>meh, and next you&#039;ll say that video games that have blood in them are bad? so maybe we should all play with barbies? or only watch G rated shows?

an interesting question comes to mind: if at a church bbq a soccer game was going on, do you think Jesus would play too?

where do you draw the line about what Jesus would or wouldn&#039;t do? (i think this turned into a legalistic rambling)</description>
