[The plot of a new Bible-based shoot-'em-up videogame]

Imagine: you are a foot soldier in a paramilitary group whose purpose is to remake America as a Christian theocracy, and establish its worldly vision of the dominion of Christ over all aspects of life. You are issued high-tech military weaponry, and instructed to engage the infidel on the streets of New York City. You are on a mission - both a religious mission and a military mission -- to convert or kill Catholics, Jews, Muslims, Buddhists, gays, and anyone who advocates the separation of church and state - especially moderate, mainstream Christians. Your mission is "to conduct physical and spiritual warfare"; all who resist must be taken out with extreme prejudice. You have never felt so powerful, so driven by a purpose: you are 13 years old. You are playing a real-time strategy video game whose creators are linked to the empire of mega-church pastor Rick Warren, best selling author of The Purpose Driven Life.

Riiight... to make America Christian, kill the majority of Christians?

Wow - is the final boss the ghost of Thomas Jefferson?

I nominate this for a \"Jesus is rolling in his grave\" award!

(could you get any further away from his message - it was bad enough when they deified him - NOW THIS)

I was wondering if this would end up here. If this thing ever gets published, it'd better be rated M or higher. That kind of violence goes right into GTA territory and takes it to a whole new level.

Yup, that's how Jesus converted people to a life free from materialism and violence. I read it in the bible.

Well, at least it's a better idea than Super 3D Noah's Ark

What a bad idea. Personally, I loathe the amount of violence in most video games, but really, a Christian shoot 'em up?

I think the most interesting part of this will be to see the reactions or lack of reactions from the various Christian factions.

I second \"Jesus Rolling in His Grave\" award.

Yes, but Noah's ark is just stupid and funny.

Jesus is rolling in his grave like a car axle at 200 mph.

My favorite part of the linked article is this:

\"If violence, coarseness, and materialism are serious social problems, then what purpose is served by exploiting a global pastoral network to mass market a game about mass killing, whether in the name of Christ or the AntiChrist?\"

Uh, money? Duh.

That would be one of the few games I would try to lose at on purpose.

On the lighter side, this game is supposed to let one play the antichristian side. Under no circumstances would I buy this pile of stinking goat s***, but to obtain a pirated copy and play the \"evil\" side, that could be fun (but instead, this game is programmed by brainwashed followers of Rick Warren, so it is going to be dull, I think).
This article and even more the comments are extremely pessimistic, showing to what extent those people are longing to take over the world. The first comment comes up with very disturbing stuff, showing a clear link between the methods of Scientology and Rick Warrens own church.

This sounds like a game that congress would pull off the shelves almost instantly. It could be called \"The New Inquisition.\" Best of all the player could be invincible and have infinite ammo (God is on your side), and the reward for converting everyone would be the same as if you killed everyone.

We worry about violent video games affecting the impressionable and uneducated, and who is less so than your average fundie?

The question to ask yourself is WBWJBOTBOTH? Who's brains would Jesus blow out the back of their heads?

Pinky: What do you want to do tonight, pastor?
Pastor: Try to take over the world.

The goal is to CONVERT or kill, among others, Catholics and (especially?!?) moderate mainstream Christians? They are ALREADY Christians, so how are you supposed to convert them? And if they are already on your side, why on Earth would you want to kill them?

The \"reasoning\" here seems to be that the ideology most to be reviled is the one that is closest to your own without actually quite matching it. Bizarre!

This makes Grand Theft Auto sound almost wholesome.
