Computer Games
Question
Hello Rabbi Michi, do you think there is any problem with occasionally playing shooting games on the computer with friends? (As for the opinion that it corrupts the soul and leads to senseless violence, from my perspective I don’t know anyone who became crazy from occasionally playing shooting games, and there is a Ritva at the end of Kiddushin, and “I know my inclination” applies here.)
Answer
I don’t see any problem at all. In a reasonable dose.
Discussion on Answer
Check there. It’s right at the very end. But I don’t see any connection to this.
What does the Ritva say at the end of Kiddushin?
