As a child I was allowed to play Doom but not Wolfenstein for this exact reason.
Wait in wolfenstein you kill nazi , so its OK to kill demon but not Nazi?_?
If you're a Christian, yes. Not killing people is supposed to be like their number one rule.
No, killing is fine. It's murder that's not ok
In case non-native English speakers don’t understand.
The word “murder” is an old legal term meaning: unlawful killing of a person. This implies that there are lawful ways to kill a person. Slang usage of the word “murder” is less precise.
A proper translation of the Bible’s 10 Commandments prohibits murder, that is, don’t kill anyone in a way that your tribe forbids. It does not prohibit every kind of killing of people, that would be ludicrous. This is why those Christians who have the viewpoint of 100% no killing of people are misguided.
Not entirely misguided, just more evangelical. If murder is killing a way your tribe does not allow, but your tribe does not allow any killings (pacifism), you get thou shalt not kill.

That's the "supposed to be" part
