So I was reading up on the Left Behind: Eternal Forces video game that was recently released... It is a nice Christian game in which the Rapture has occurred and you are left to convert those that are still around - or kill them if they refuse...
Wholesome Christian fun, right? Apparently... Just look at the reviews:
"...a positive moral message." - AOL.com WTF? positive morals in killing people who refuse to acccept a religion?
"...here is a game we can heartily recommend..." - Beverly LaHaye, Concerned Women for America What exactly are these women concerned about? The lack of violent video games in America? I bet these are the same beatches that complain about sex in video games...
"...a bold step in mainstream gaming." - Game Daily Bold step? I kill people daily playing games...whats so boldd and new? Oh ya, the additional of religion into the mix...
"...it's perfect content for a video game" - Associated Press ASAP

"a violent video game in which born-again Christians aim to convert or kill those who don't adhere to their extreme ideology."
"After you kill somebody you need to recharge your soul points and to do that you need to bend down in prayer"
Kill anyone that does not follow your beliefs, now that is what I call teaching good old fashioned christian values. It worked during the crusades, inquisition and the witch trials. What once was old is now new again.
Hey let's just be realistic and call it what it really is "Christian terrorist trainer in a box".
Religious extremism is just as dangerous no matter what flavor it comes in.

I don't believe in ghosts. Maybe I'm just not receptive to them, but I've never seen one. If I do, then I guess I'll believe. Aliens, yes, there's probably some life out there in the universe somewhere. Seems too big not to be.

Great. Lets teach our kids to kill in the name of jesus. I'm glad you brought these reviews to my attention.
I'm emailing them all and thanking them
Thank you for supporting the "Left Behind" video game. It is refreshing to see a christian game backed like this. With your support maybe we can get every good christian in America playing this game and soon people will see that it's OK to be a christian and there is no need to let the heathens run wild. Once they are wiped out we can take back this country! Praise Jesus and Kill the Pagans once and for all!

You are so confused. The only people who have problems with this are those that do not believe in The End Times. After God's Church is taken from the earth, only nonbelievers will be left. Some will follow the Antichrist and take the mark of the beast. The others will accept Jesus as their Savior and believe in God. Those are the Left Behind people...Followers of God or Followers of Satan. The followers of Antichrist will try to kill all those who have not taken the sign of the beast. The believers will be martyred or defend themselves. That's what the game is based on. If you knew your Bible or The Left Behind series of books, you would know the game. It is a literal battle of good vs. evil.

The ones who are left behind are non Christian, and those who get converted to Christianity during the tribulation period (by refusing the mark of the beast) will be the ones who are put to death for their beliefs. I repeat, it is NOT the Christians doing the killing, it's the anti christ. It's all in the Book of Revelations.
EDIT: Before you all just chime in and start agreeing with y doncha, why not investigate to see if the facts have been given to you correctly!

First, I want to know where you are getting this kill em if they dont convert crap. I have looked at the reviews also, and see none of that. You have the forces of the Global Community (one world government) that are hunting you down? It is kill or be killed. Nothing more or less.
GROW UP!!
No, I dont believe this sh*t.

First, I'm not familiar with the game you mention, so I'll take your word for what it is and it's content.
That being said, if this IS true, then it's a very, very sad thing.
Will Yaks(pbut) be next?

Ok let’s look at some facts, before jumping to conclusions:
1) In the end times left behind series, this is a particular denomination of Christianity, on how things will end up. Many Christians from different denominations believe the world will end in different ways.( not all)
2) The Baptist Christians believe that there will be a silent resurrection, (now this is all theology- each Christian denomination views are different- that’s why they separate into denominations which I don’t agree with.. All Christians love the same God, but separate due to interpretation, that’s a whole other story). With the silent resurrection Christians believe that all those who follow Christ will go to heaven.
1 Thessalonians 4:13-18. It states that all living believers, along with all believers who have died, will meet the Lord Jesus in the air and will be with Him forever. The Rapture is God removing His people from the earth. A few verses later in 5:9 Paul says, “For God did not appoint us to suffer wrath but to receive salvation through our Lord Jesus Christ.”
Everyone who loves Christ will instantly disappear from the earth (rapture). All that remain will be those who don't accept Christ. During the time period of non-believers on the earth, the anti-Christ will rule the earth.
3) In order to survive, to get food, water, housing whatever you must receive the mark of the beast. This means that you give yourself to satan. (66*) This ruling will be for 7 years, ' seven years of tribulation.'
He forced everyone, small and great, rich and poor, free and slave, to receive a mark on his right hand or on his forehead so that no one could buy or sell unless he had the mark, which is the name of the beast or the number of his name. This calls for wisdom. If anyone has insight, let him calculate the number of the beast, for it is man's number. His number is 666" (Rev. 13:16-18).
4)If someone chooses to not receive the mark of the beast ,the anti-christ will send his followers to hunt out and kill all those who do not accept him. For by choosing to not take the mark of the beat during this time period it's taken as, accepting God as your lord and savior instead.
5) God has given ample time for one to choose their master.. but once the 7 yrs begin it's designed for people who don't believe in God.. but if one chooses to turn to God in this period of time and, deny the mark of the beast, they will be hunted down in that period of time for it. God is not the one who is killing these people nor is it, ‘Christians trying to push religion on people’ it’s satan killing people, got it. (They made the choice to deny Christ the anti-christ is in control now.)
6) These are the simple facts form the Bible in regards to accepting Christ, as the Lord and Savior period. (Of course those who don't follow Christ will not like it.) The end times won't be pretty some will die, and some will live.. but that decision is on the person.
7) Killing and death is everywhere its a part of life sad to say while on earth. All people will die what matters is how one truly lives. The Bible is based on facts from history that are not all pretty. This video game I've never seen so it’s hard to get a good idea of what it's like. One thing I can say though is at least the killings, are based on truth. Instead of mindless blood and gore that is pointless in many video games today.
**So as you can see, it's the anti-christ that is killing people during the 7 yrs of tribulation on earth. The reason is, is because their accepting the Lord as Christ instead of the mark of satan.**

OMG! I'm a total non-believer and apparently, I'm more strict on what games my kid plays. That's just sick. Judging from this site, those people don't even realize how they really are! That's just scary!

And this comes as any degree of surprise? I have been expecting my enemies in the church to do something like this for quite sometime...it is the perfect venue for them to spread their message of hate for other beliefs and propogate their idea that if you are not a Christian you should be killed...admittedly the fact that they are being so blatant about it this soon is...a little outside of expectation, but not that they have come out with it...it gives me something else to add to my reasons for why non-christians need to band together before things go even farther...that is why places like THIS exist...
