However I only thought they were conservative protestants with strong family values, with an opposition to trends related to the relaxing of sexual taboos.
That's not un-true, but its not
just that.
I didn't think they were anti-boardgames as well.
I wouldn't call them anti-boardgame, they are against any game that they can spin into and "evil" one.
To be honest thinking a boardgame is evil is one of the most ridiculous things I've ever heard.
Well, Christian Fundamentalists
are ridiculous.
they've claimed that video games cause violence in children
All of them?
No, just the bad ones.
I can possibly understand them thinking games like GTA might do this,

Yeah... Says the father to the son: "You know, son, if you kill that hooker, you can get your money back."
but surely they don't think the same about Half Life 2 for example.
quote:
What parents should take into consideration when deciding if this game is appropriate for their child:
- The Half-Life 2 games are very violent and very bloody. Blood sprays on the walls when an enemy is shot. There are also times when the player will encounter dead bodies covered in blood. There is also a weapon called a gravity gun that allows the player to magnetically draw an object in and then hurl it outwards. One such object that can be used with the gravity gun is a giant saw blade. When the saw blade is hurled at an enemy, the enemy is sliced in half.
- There is some bad language in the Half-Life 2 games. Most of the words are words that you would hear on television (such as hell and damn). The word s**t is used a couple of times and God's name is used inappropriately at times.
It is because of the violence and blood in Half-Life 2 that I cannot recommend The Orange Box for children. Most of the games on The Orange Box are rated M and I would agree that these games are best left for a mature audience.source
Here is a link to one rating system.
I have no words for this. It is simply too bizarre for me to comprehend.
Dude... some of these US christians are
CRAZY!
