prole Posted December 24, 2006 Posted December 24, 2006 Some lucky little future Jim Jones is gonna get this in their stocking this year! Excerpt: ...The hitch, though, in this new game aimed at teens, is who constitutes those "forces of evil": activists, secularists, non-Christian rock musicians, and others who resist "recruitment" into the "forces of good" - the believers in a particular kind of Christianity. Based on the popular Left Behind series of apocalyptic novels, "Left Behind: Eternal Forces" is being marketed for Christmas giving through churches and big-box retailers such as Wal-Mart. The real-time strategy (RTS) game takes place in New York City. "You are sent on a spiritual and military mission to convert people, and nobody is allowed to remain neutral," says Eric Elnes, copresident of Crosswalk America, a progressive Christian group, who says he's explored the game extensively. "You lose spirit points if you kill somebody, but you can hit the prayer button to restore the points." Quote

prole Posted December 24, 2006 Author Posted December 24, 2006 And to you and yours, my friend. Quote
Dave_Schuldt Posted December 25, 2006 Posted December 25, 2006 I heard the game wasn't very good, so maybe it wont sell. Quote
rob Posted December 25, 2006 Posted December 25, 2006 "You lose spirit points if you kill somebody, but you can hit the prayer button to restore the points." Ah, so that's the trick. Quote
billcoe Posted December 25, 2006 Posted December 25, 2006 It doesn't sound as interesting as that game which involves running over pededstrians, killing police, picking up hookers and then having to kill them to get your money back. Quote
TREETOAD Posted December 25, 2006 Posted December 25, 2006 You mean that is a game too?? Someone owes me royalties Quote
joblo7 Posted December 28, 2006 Posted December 28, 2006 i guess we'd be more outraged if walmart would push an islamic based game that so way off 'the truth'' Quote
TREETOAD Posted December 28, 2006 Posted December 28, 2006 Monopoly is a game that pushes the religion of capitalism and the mantra of dog eat dog. or is that god eat god. Quote

I offered them a beer a bong hit and some magic tea but they declined so I asked them if they were government spys who were out to get me, and they said no. Then they tried to hand me a book and I tried to hand them the bong and they said no so I asked them if they were government spys and they said no. Then they asked me if I had read their book and I offered them a beer and they said no so I asked them if they were government spys and they said no so I told them to fuck off. I guess I won the game. Quote
