A new "Christian" video game touts a mission not of mercy but warfare. Kinda scary to see what the kiddies are supposed to do when they jam a "Left Behind" videogame into their consoles:
"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."
More on the game here, via Bong Boing.
(Should they call this game Right Behind? or just Kiss My Christian Behind?)
At least Jack Thompson is consistent.
ReplyDeleteYou know, not all Christians are this intolerant. Come to think of it, neither was Jesus himself.
ReplyDeleteThis is what gives all Christians a bad name. Frankly, I'm appalled.
From the article cited in this post, you can also :join" the anti-Christ members and jes' blow everyone away:
ReplyDelete"How about this nifty game feature: the bodies of slain New Yorkers don't disappear after a battle, and no one gives them a decent burial. Instead, the festering corpses just keep piling up: left behind. Is that "Christian" or "cool"? Or how about this: The game portrays the United Nations - hello again, Buddhists, Hindus, Muslims, Catholics, and Jews - as the headquarters of the demonic forces of the AntiChrist, who is spawned by DNA from two gay lovers (hello, Greenwich Village!). So nice to see you all, my errant, resisting brothers and sisters. BLAM! BLAM! "Praise the Lord!"
And personally, if memory serves, the only moment of sheer rage enacted by Jesus was aimed at the folks insside the Temple who had transformed it into a shopping center for money transfers and sales items. Jesus whipped them and chased them from the Temple.
I just can't even come up with anything to say about this.
