Left Behind: Eternal Forces.... It's A "Christian" Game



Here is a preview for the "Christian" video game that is coming out soon called Left Behind: Eternal Forces. What is it about you might ask?

According to Talk To Action:

"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."

Mark Morford has a great column on it that you can read here called Jesus Loves A Machine Gun.

I have one word for this game and the thinking behind it.

Actually I have a few words....are these people fucking insane?

Ah....much better now.
