Genocidal game made by Christians

[IronBrig4]

Overzealous Christian game

Holy hell, this is outrageous. Now, I'm not gonna call for a ban or boycott, since I don't advocate politicians pulling games off shelves. I simply will not buy this game. Talk about bigotry.

Sure, I always shot people up in Vice City. In fact, I would sometimes pick up hookers and then kick them to death. However, I did not kill them on religious grounds. I just wanted their money.

Btw, I think this belongs in the Mudpit rather than in the Circus Maximus.

I would love to play that game. It looks great. I think it's pretty silly to get offended by video games.

[Sétanta]

Ha. Looks like fun. From a secular standpoint.

[John I Tzimisces]

Thats all kinds of messed up.
Kinda ignores the fact catholics are christians too, hah.

[IamthePope]

Oh well. It can't be any more harmful than the Da Vinci Code.

[GodNeptune]

The game also offers players the opportunity to switch sides and fight for the army of the AntiChrist, releasing cloven-hoofed demons who feast on conservative Christians and their panicked proselytes (who taste a lot like Christian).

Wow, you can also play on the side of Satan. I bet his army is 100 times better than the fundamentalists'.

[Atheist Peace]

See... this is what I mean. What a ****ing cool game!

Just because one plays the game does not mean one wants to kill all of those people. I think it's hilarious and entertaining.

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.

Well, I think that's all of us :original:.

Still, I would play it, as long as it's a pirated version :wink:.

[Imperator of Rome]

Looks boring to me...why would i want to blow away jews anyway,lol they have suffered enough already.

[Maron]

HAHA that sounds hilarious.

as a christian i dont know whether to be offended by this game or not. it does seem rather well...extreme...insane...ridiculous.

however curiosity will no doubt get the better of me and i will buy it just as a novelty

[Legio XX Valeria Victrix]

Dont see anything about killing catholics, jews etc but rather good vs evil, Christ vs AntiChrist.

[Garbarsardar]

Not exactly good vs evil. Actually Christians vs Anti-Christ.

Anti-Christ:

The words "Antichrist" and "Antichrists" appear only five times in the Bible - in two of the Apostle John's three letters in the New Testament, 1 John and 2 John:

Who is the liar but he who denies that Jesus is the Christ? This is the antichrist, he who denies the Father and the Son. (1John 2:22, ESV)

Children, it is the last hour, and as you have heard that antichrist is coming, so now many antichrists have come. Therefore we know that it is the last hour. (1John 2:18, ESV)

and every spirit that does not confess Jesus is not from God. This is the spirit of the antichrist, which you heard was coming and now is in the world already. (1John 4:3, ESV)

Many deceivers have gone out into the world; they do not confess the coming of Jesus Christ in the flesh. This is the deceiver and the antichrist (2John 1:7, ESV.)

Therefore Antichrist=non Christian.

So it's a game of Christians vs the rest. I repeat, it is their reality that offends not their games.

[danzig]

Good vs evil in their point of view based on the whole end of the world crap and it doesnt say anything to indicate people who arent christian are automatically the 'enemy' but rather the forces of the antichrist ie people who actively support it. According to website you can also play the 'antichrist' side controling demons to destroy the 'good' guys...I dont see anything about creating an army of Rabbis to send out and kill the Christians Also in the original link:
"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."

Clearly this is simply the opinion of the game by the website but yet no other newspaper, magazines seems to share that view. Everyone in this thread seem to simply accept the game was about killing catholics and jews without actually bothering to go look...that is the interpretation of the website in the first post. People see some sinister intend about a game that to me is just another crappy RTS...the last thing videogame market needs.

[Siblesz]

The gameplay will probably suck. Besides, I don't mind when games portray the brutal murders of communists, nazis, fascists, Italians, Germans, Russians, Americans, English, French, Japanese, Vietnamese, Romans, Barbarians, Greeks, children, old ladies, prostitutes, innocent passerbys, bankers, policemen, scientists, soldiers, aliens, etc, but GOD FORBID they show the murders of Christians and people of other religions! Now that is blasphemy!

[mongoose]

I'd love to buy it if I could play as the faction that tries to stop those pig ****ing fundies.

[Octavius Valorius]

The game looks and sounds like a foretelling of the Apocalypse if you ask me. In other words, cool.

Apparently, from reading the article, there is some sort of Dominionist movement of fanatical christians who want to take over the world. The difference between this group and all the other fanatical groups that wish to take over the world is that they seem to have a much larger following....this can't end well. This video game is all part of their "stealth evangelism" as they like to call it.

Seeing as how they are advocating the destruction of most of the world's populace they can have a fun time governing themselves.

I have nuked whole cities in Civilization, eviscerated whole tribes in RTW, kiled Japanese,Americans,Russians Germans in a multitude of games, sorry but no sweat over this.

It is reality that is offensive, not a bunch of crazed zealots that reproduce it in a virtual environment...
