I don't know. I can smell your stanky ass from here, and your sig is just a pathetic rehash of a Christian bumper sticker, so I'd both of those assertions are debatable.

They can make and sell whatever they want, but it's still sick and disgusting...


Here's a quote from the article: "The enemy team includes fictional rock stars and folks with Muslim-sounding names, while the righteous include gospel singers, missionaries, healers and medics. Every character comes with a life story.

When asked about the Arab and Muslim-sounding names, Frichner said the game does not endorse prejudice. But "Muslims are not believers in Jesus Christ" -- and thus can't be on Christ's side in the game. "

Fixed.

The two are exclusive of each other, and you are an idiot for thinking otherwise.

EDIT: Rather you are ignorant.

You're an idiot if you don't think that there's a correlation between the two.

What I'm trying to say, is that whether or not you believe in God, has nothing to do with your moral values. You can be an atheist, and still have right wing views. You can goto church every Sunday, and have left wing views. They are exclusive. I'm a Christian, can you guess what political party I vote for?

Do you know what the word correlation means?

:roll: who cares. its a video game. play it for what its worth-- or dont play it at all, duh.

lots of mainstream games take elements from certain religions, some moreso than others-- just take doom for example.

I don't think video games are the way to spread the message of salvation or the Word of God. Talking to people directly and living by example have and will always be the best evangelism tools. Conforming to the methods and ways of the world is never a good way to reach people . I applaud the Christians using software and IT to teach about the gospel of Christ, but in a video game? This video game also happens to emphasize the wrong things for nonbelievers, and focuses only on (as the Left Behind books do) the end times. End times and prophecies do not make great introductory topics to nonbelievers or new Christians because of the depth of knowledge and spiritual growth that is required. I'm not saying that you can't start learning the Bible at Revelation and Daniel, but those books are heavily predicated on understanding other portions of scripture.

However, if even one person comes to Christ as a result of this, I think it's worth it. I just hope people don't get addicted to this game just for the gaming elements (which I don't think is too likely, anyways).
