"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. You have never felt so powerful, so driven by a purpose: you are 13 years old. You are playing a real-time strategy video game whose creators are linked to the empire of mega-church pastor Rick Warren, best selling author of The Purpose Driven Life.

The game, slated for release by October 2006 in advance of the Christmas shopping rush, has been previewed at video game exhibitions, and reviewed by major newspapers and magazines. But until now, no fan or critic has pointed out the controversial game's connection to Mr. Warren or his dominionist agenda."

What's funny, even Jack Thompson doesn't like it.

"It's absurd," said the video critic. "You can be the Christians blowing away the infidels, and if that doesn't hit your hot button, you can be the Antichrist blowing away all the Christians."

Whenever you stare into the void, remember that the void stares right back.

[RD]

[Steppenwolf]

Sounds like a cool game. I like games where you play as the Bad Guy

[Fletch]

I hope Kirk Cameron is in it.

I don't get this. When I saw this before I thought it was about the rapture. Following that plot shouldn't all the devout chritians be in heaven, and everyone else gets left behind? I mean the game is even called Left Behind.

Oh and about killing all the jews and homosexuals and what not, I'll beleive it when I see it. Until then I withold any judgement of this game, especially since the article sounds like it was written my someone like jack tompson (i.e. "Doom is a murder simulator" lol) :/

[The Postman]

I hope Kirk Cameron is in it.

I hope I can shoot him. A lot.

Let the crusade begin. I don't care if I'm murdering grandma's,

as long as the game is awesome.
