ethics for my avatar

So as I have mentioned in my previous post I am in a class about virtual worlds and social media. I decided to dive a little more into some of the issues facing virtual worlds and social media most specially the ethical issues that face these medias. So I guess I will provide a little background. I am a devout Christian not a religious fanatic but a person who views life with the idea that the concepts presented in the Bible are true. Saying that I started to ask questions like “If you have sex with another person Avatar is that adultery?” And if it is then would having sex with a NPC in a virtual world be adultery. Then would killing another person in a game be murder? You can see where this can open up a whole new world of ethical questions. I am extremely curious person which is good. So I decided to do a little research and am still doing research I will give you some of what I find as I find it and would love to hear people’s feedback.
