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?_?
You also kill dogs, I think that was a factor. Also I was like 6, not exactly old enough to grasp the historical context or moral ambiguity of murdering murderers. But yeah, "love the sinner, hate the sin" is a major tenet of Christianity, even if seemingly no one practices it.
But they were Nazi dogs.
They were just following orders! You know, sit, shake, kill the Jews...
I had this exact conversation, and used this argument, with my own parents.
It must have worked. I was allowed to play Wolfenstein, anyway.
