Oh, this is hilarious. Talk about christploitation. I wonder if they'll sell it in Christian bookstores.


Stranger still, if you don't like killing the infidels, you can play as the anti-christ... and blow away Christians!

Good God (no pun intended)!!

I figured this thread was going to be about the Left Behind series of books. What a shockingly abhorrent game. Here's hoping it tanks gloriously.

After reading the first paragraph, I have this to say. If the goal is to establish a Christian Theocracy, why am I killing Catholics?

 

[SuperBeaverInc.]

Wow...simply wow...that is an odd game.

I would assume you play as a Protestant.

Actually, you play as a "true Christian", so you can kill those "wishy washy" Christians too.

The game rewards children for how effectively they role play the killing of those who resist becoming a born again Christian.

This. Is. Sick. How is this anything close to Christlike?

Because, you know, when people didnt listen to Jesus, he freaked out and killed them right there

To generate buzz for "Eternal Forces," Lyndon and Frichner plan to distribute 1 million sample discs to churches nationwide.

This just sounds like they have a much more sinister agenda.

 

[warpus]

My position: Meh, who cares, it's only a game. I'd play it

 

[Bluemofia]

That's just... Wow. Propaganda clearly not bothered to be disgused. Wonder how the Islamic world would react?

I might just buy it just so I can blow away the Christians and turn their purpose against them!

I almost think that this was cooked up by some anti-Christian to make Christians look evil. Because no one could really be that stupid . . . could they?

(All right, yes they could.)

I thought it was a hoax at first also, but sadly, it isn't. It is a sad day for America, and I think, for real Christians. This is obviously meant to be peddled to the not so scriptured Christians.

I actually stumbled upon this a few months ago, when I was looking at some game selling website. I had a good chuckle.

 

[Gr3yL3gion]

I have to say that I look forward to play this game.

 

[The Last Conformist]

This is too bizarre for words, really.

 

[Leonel]

Haha I was wondering myself how a Left Behind video game would even work.

But is this game really any different than Command and Conquor; Generals or Battlefield 2? Instead of the 'true' Christian, couldn't it just as well be China or the US or Arabs?

 

[diablodelmar]

I personally, as a christian, am not in favour of such a themed game.

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

 

[Erik Mesoy]

As a Christian, I wish I lived in America so that I could pick up a copy of this game for sh*ts and giggles. It would be amusing, to say the least.

It is, because it is a game based on bigotry.

 

[Till]

Excellent! I hope it is real gory, too. And please distribute it in as many churches as possbile.
Let's see religious groups bash video games, while they give away violent games in their churches.

 

[Meleager]

Sounds like a smear campaign. I can't imagine Rick Warren going anywhere near something like this.
