Violence All the Rage This Christmas

by Staff
December 9, 2008

MAITLAND, Fla., (christiansunite.com) -- Is it purely a coincidence that the Christmas shopping season kicks off with a day called 'Black Friday'? Maybe so, but how is it then explained that the gifts in the most demand this year seem to be violent video games?

Art Ally's Group, The Timothy Plan, is a Mutual Fund company that only invests in companies who reach very quantifiable moral and ethical standards.

Suffice it to say, Ally draws the line well before investing in companies that provide products that harm children. In fact, The Timothy Plan took this matter so seriously, that it performed an exhaustive amount of research in identifying games that parents should think twice about before letting Santa put them under the tree.

For shoppers buying video games on Black Friday, the beginning of the traditional Christmas shopping season, and beyond, it could wind up being a black day indeed.

Violent video games have become increasingly more popular as graphics and improvements in technology have improved over the years. Studies have shown that aggressive attitudes and even actions can be increased after playing violent games for as little as 20 minutes. Yet, video games have emerged as one of the most popular forms of entertainment for children, with over 70% living in a home with at least one video game player and 33% of children have one in their bedroom.

Art Ally, president, of the Timothy Plan family of mutual funds contends that, "Many, if not most, parents who buy their kids video games really don't know the extent of sex and violence imbedded in them. From drug use, prostitution, murder and mayhem to vulgar profanity and blasphemy these games have become a powerfully negative influence on our kids."

Mr. Ally is offering concerned parents a complimentary report detailing the myriad of shocking gaming choices now available in the marketplace. At Timothy Plan's web site, www.timothyplan.com , you can download and print a report detailing what Ally describes as "some of the most violent and offensive video games ever to be available in my lifetime." "I believe, if parents would take a moment to look at the report we've created, their game selections would be quite different," he continues.

The Timothy Plan family of funds conducts proprietary research on publicly traded companies based on their moral integrity. They then apply that information to maintain a "Do Not Buy List" for their family of morally responsible mutual funds. They do not invest in companies that are involved in abortion, pornography, anti-family entertainment, alternative lifestyles, as well as alcohol, tobacco and gambling.

Timothy's research process for the funds' Anti-Family Entertainment screen, includes (but is not limited to) gathering information on popular video games and, with Christmas and the gift giving season approaching, they are offering this information to anyone concerned about the content of the video games they may consider buying as gifts for their children.
