"Christian Gaming" has just reached a new low. There is now a game available at WalMart, endorsed by Focus on the Family, that allows "Christian Crusaders" to kill people who won't convert to Christianity. Here is a part of the article I just discovered.
Aimed at conservative Christians, the game's story line begins in a time after the "rapture," when fundamentalist dogma contends that Christians will go to heaven. The remaining population on earth must then choose between surrendering to or resisting "the Antichrist," which the game describes as the "Global Community Peacekeepers," whose objective is the imposition of "one-world government."
"Part of the object is to kill or convert the opposing forces," Simpson said. This is "antithetical to the Gospel of Jesus Christ," he said, adding that he was dismayed by the concept in "Eternal Forces" of using prayer to restore a player's "spirit points" after killing the enemy." In the game, combatants on one side pause for prayer, intoning, "Praise the Lord." A player can lose points for "unnecessary killing" but regain them through prayer.
I want to encourage you to read the entire article, "Death To Infidels Via Video Game," by William Fisher. Just click on his name to go to the article.

Okay fellow Christ-Followers which of us is going to stand up and tell Wal-Mart & our Friends at Focus, this is wrong! We would be screaming if it was the Muslims or others. This only adds fuel to the fire for Secular Progressivists to remove religion from all public life. Cause now they "got proof" even the Christians want to kill the infidels. Tom thanks for bringing this to light...I shamelessly stole the link and will post on my blog too.
When we moved to New Zealand 10 years ago, I really missed Wally World. Now after a couple of their antics lately, I'm sure glad they aren't over here controling the market! (I think I still miss their cheap products, tho!!) :) It is interesting to watch from a distance what is happening in America. Randy was blogging about something red. I've not heard about it, but it sounded soooo American.
