This game immerses children in present-day New York City -- 500 square blocks, stretching from Wall Street to Chinatown, Greenwich Village, the United Nations headquarters, and Harlem. The game rewards children for how effectively they role play the killing of those who resist becoming a born again Christian. The game also offers players the opportunity to switch sides and fight for the army of the AntiChrist, releasing cloven-hoofed demons who feast on conservative Christians and their panicked proselytes (who taste a lot like Christian).[/quote]

I am a christian and i dont think those are christian values,
and to be honest i dont think God would want us to kill people for not believeing,we are suppose to pray for them and try to help the people we know not randomly kill people because of what we see them doing.
God is the Judge not us.
all though seeing that dose make me wonder what the game is not that i support it at all it just has my curiosisty for some reason.
to be honest i thought this was a joke.
 
There has been boxart for this title sitting behind the glass at my local GS for damn near a year by now. It's totally legit.

This wouldn't be the worst use of the Left Behind franchise; that honor would go to the poor sap who had his NASCAR sponsored by them, and ended up with large signs emblazoning "LEFT BEHIND" all over his racecar.
 
[quote name='javeryh']This is the most awesome game I've ever heard of - too bad it's not being made by Rockstar.[/QUOTE]

The problem inherent in the game, of course, is that NOBODY will play the christians in online play. It will end up being this incenstuous and repetitive battles of forces of evil versus forces of evil. It's the equivalent of putting two races into Warcraft: The Orcish Horde and My Little Pony.
 
[quote name='vietgurl']What did Buddhists ever do to you?[/quote]

I would imagine that many evangelicals find the shaved heads of Buddhist nuns to be distressing at best! Reckon that has something to do with it? ;)
 
If this game is for serious I'm TOTALLY scoring it off the net...er.. I mean... finding that someone broke into my house, installed this game on me compy, and accidentally running it..

(I'm jewish btw.)
 
In the name of an all-forgiving and all-loving God it should be everyone's mission to maim, torture and kill everyone who doesn't have the same beliefs as you do.... because clearly you are right and everyone else is just an asshole. I love religion.

yeah the game has many points that are wrong, if thats what the guy truly believes then he is messed up.
and i am gonna get all religous on you guys for a second really I dont think playing the game would be that bad as long as you dont actually believe its right and thats what we should do as christians if you are a christian,but it dose make me uncomfertable that you can play as a anti christ and i am like wait a minute the guy making the game is chrisitan?
but i think just because its something thats gonna make alot of people get all contraversial over it i have to play it at least once,really if you think about it its no worse than some of the movies that are out there today.

Why? I'd much rather have an army of zealots on my side than a few demons. Besides I think the developers probably might the side of the "rightious" a wee bit more powerful.

He's not even good enough to be the antichrist in the Left Behind series - the pope is more like a "Grima Wormtongue" kinda character, a lackey to the almighty evil, if you will.

Having been brought up Catholic, I find that if "idol worship" in the form of the Virgin Mary or the Pope is the differencemaker in me going to hell or not, well, then fuck it, because I don't wanna be in a heaven with nobody but evangelical fuckheads anyway - send me to hell with the Catholics and the drunks!

Yeah; Mother Teresa sucked!

I think Nietzsche embarked upon the hatred guised by means of understanding, with that comment -- and I guess it worked.
 
I myself am waiting for the Scientology game where you are supposed to jump from one couch to another. Its kinda like Frogger but with deeper gameplay.

ah no if your talking about jesus he died for us and defeated death and jesus is the baseis of our beliefs.

Christianity 2.1 billion (Began: ca. 27 AD/CE)
Roman Catholicism: 1.085 billion
Protestantism: 590 million
Eastern Orthodoxy: 200 million
Anglican: 84 million
Oriental Orthodoxy, Assyrians, and other Christians: 350 million
Latter Day Saints (Mormons) 12.6 million (Began: ca. 1830)

Seeing that half of all Christians are Catholics, Catholics are the 'normal' christians, it's the rest of them that are the odd ones out.

All Christian religions pick and choose what to believe and what to ignore from the Bible, Catholicism is no more kooky then any other group.

no we dont pick and choose i have read alot of the bible and from what i have gathered i believe as long as you believe in jesus and that he forgives you for your sins and you are willing to turn away from them then your saved.

but the catholics believe that some people are holyer than others like for example the pope even though the bible says all Christians are saints.
God/Jesus is the only one i will worship ,but lets not turn this in to an argue ment about religion its about a game.

Then you're picking and choosing. If you don't follow Leviticus to a "t," you're picking and choosing. Ever eat shrimp? You're going to hell. If you don't think so, you're picking and choosing.

At any rate, saying "I don't pick and choose" falls under the false premise that there was no political contestation as to what books became the canon of the bible, both Old and New Testaments, and which books fell to the wayside and became the Gnostic gospels, readily discredited by christian folk merely on the basis on their non-inclusion in the bible. Let me ask you these questions: (1) do you have faith in the ability of *HUMANS* to properly choose dozens of books, out of hundreds, as prefectly and completely representative of the metaphysical being, God, and Jesus Christ? Also, (2) do you believe that there was no political debate about which books would be included in the bible and which books would be left out and/or declared heretic in the process? What do you think of this, and how it may conflict with your notion of the bible as a flawless and complete body of work?

but the catholics believe that some people are holyer than others like for example the pope even though the bible says all Christians are saints.
God/Jesus is the only one i will worship ,but lets not turn this in to an argue ment about religion its about a game.

Don't give me that last sentence horseshit. You've now made two posts of atrociously grammatic things that resemble sentences that compose what you call "a religious argument." Nevertheless, once you've had your say, you want to cease discussion. There's a phrase for moments like this:

fuck You.

You've had your say, so don't try to cut everything off now that you got in your final word. If you want to criticize all Catholics for exalting some people over another, that's fine (if you want to live in a world where you naively think that non-Catholics never prejudge or regard others as inherently better or worse than another group, despite the logical impossibility of that happening, given your statement about Catholics, that's fine too). It is nonetheless delightfully ironic that, in order to slander catholics for exalting some and "oppressing" others (for want of a better word), you've done the precise same thing yourself.

Downright adorable, that is.

Well, go on about your religious argument. I'll be back later, I have some Emile Durkheim (yeck!) to read in the meantime.

Would he forgive me if I bitch-slapped you?
 
[quote name='Cheese']All Christian religions pick and choose what to believe and what to ignore from the Bible, Catholicism is no more kooky then any other group.[/quote]

Actually, I believe that the "pick and choose" methodology of interpreting sacred works is a sign of intelligence. The people who accept everything in the modern christian bible at a literal face value comprise a large percentage of the christian kooks (IE fundies, baptists, fanatical offshoots, etc)
 
[quote name='RedvsBlue']Would he forgive me if I bitch-slapped you?[/quote]

He'd even forgive you if you hid in a little box, jumped up behind him and slit his throat. That's why he's the man, man.
 
and i am not trying to offend any one.i was just trying to say what i believe and i guess it sorta came out wrong i need to reword it but,yes we all sin but as as you acceapt jesus as your saviour your saved.
or at least i believe.

Saved from what?
 
What I meant by that quote was the he was the first, last, and only person who embodied the Christian faith.

And mykevermin, I have to say that for once, I agree totally with you on something
 
[quote name='javeryh']Saved from what?[/quote]
sorry i have some typos i am doing other things as i type,but jesus is salvation from sin.
we are no longer judged as long as we believe.

Premarital sex is pretty fucking fun. Stabbing hobos in the eye can be pretty fun too but you're right there, the drycleaning bill for getting out the blood can get pretty high.
 
[quote name='RedvsBlue']Having fun?[/quote]

yeah, kind of :D

I am just facinated that there are people who think that when you die someone judges your actions and determines whether you spend eternity on fire or not. It's just insane.
