Episode description

Is this another good reason to attend college? World Magazine reports 240 universities, including Christian colleges, now sponsor e-sports programs—fake sports for gamers. Sports were supposed to be metaphor for warfare. Now, here is metaphor on metaphor, and people watch gamers play games! Avatar 1 and 2 are the first and third biggest blockbusters of all time. Video gaming, a $40 billion industry at the turn of the century, ballooned into a $260 billion industry by 2020, surpassing the music and movie industries by fifteen-fold (and the entire sports industry by more than double). It is the escape from God's reality.
