Nerdy hobbies are reconcilable with Christianity if kept holy and in moderation

Mike argues play is good and God-given, using the Sabbath command as a principle: the day of rest was meant for enjoyment, not stoic sitting. Apply 'keep it holy' to hobbies by: (a) moderation — not excessive use, (b) avoiding impure content (increasingly sexual/violent games and comics). The problem is not the hobby itself but sin taking root through overindulgence or morally corrupt content. He cites watching football while drinking too much as an example where the surrounding behavior, not the activity, is the problem.
