Christian Reactionism Part 349,592: Guitar Hero....Christian Version

I knew it would only be a matter of time before this happened since they had it for DDR.

As usual, I have an opinion. Again, the church seems to react to the secular world. They set the standard, we come up with an alternative. When will we be the one setting the standard and not reacting?
Another thought. I grew up in a teaching that anything secular, no matter how harmless, was evil. I didn't know why. My only grounds for something being evil was that it wasn't made or done by Christians. Living a long time now, there is a lot of junk put out by Christians. We need to teach kids to discern what is good, and how to be in the world, but not of it.
I always remember learning that our three choices with dealing with the world are isolation, integration or infiltration. Isolation is monastic and hard fundamentalism. Integration is just giving in. Infiltration is being able to be among the world and yet still shine brightly the light of Christ.
On a personal note, though I disagree with some of the songs, I love Guitar Hero 3.
