gaming as a religion is as weird as star treck or the fonz being religions.(thank futurama and family guy for those examples)
damn, u said what i was going to lol. But in a crazy sense of way, i bet some people play games more than some people go to church, so in a way, gaming could be considered a religion, and a brown box (first gaming consol ever made) could be the god XD.Quote:

I think you might be confusing religion with addiction ... a religion in general is adherence to a particular belief or view. Addiction is a psychological or biological compulsion for something ...Quote:

1. religion beliefs and worship: people’s beliefs and opinions concerning the existence, nature, and worship of a deity or deities, and divine involvement in the universe and human life
2. religion particular system: a particular institutionalized or personal system of beliefs and practices relating to the divine
3. personal beliefs or values: a set of strongly-held beliefs, values, and attitudes that somebody lives by
4. obsession: an object, practice, cause, or activity that somebody is completely devoted to or obsessed by
The danger is that you start to make fitness a religion.
5. christianity monk’s or nun’s life: life as a monk or a nun, especially in the Roman Catholic Church
as you can see, there's a thin line between the two
Its addiction i think he means lol
