Bolding Alert!!!

So could "World of Warcraft" be considered a Religion ???


Now notice this has nothing to do with atheism, agnostics, etc. But it seems to be everywhere and consumes alot of time from it's devout followers lives. Though there seems to be a sort of religions within the religion, could it be it's own religion unto itself ???

As far as a religion goes, I suspect it would rank in the same niche as "tiger woods golf"

You'll know it's become a religion when some family disowns their daughter for marrying a Warcraft player!

LOL no but Gamers do tend to treat their games like cults sometimes. Scary and a little pathetic
