Christians are you all excited about the Left Behind Video Game since you get to shoot non-believers in it?

Question

It is 100% true I am watching it on the news as I type this.

Answer 1

Is that really true?? I preached on (against) those silly books last Sunday.

Lord, have mercy.

Answer 2

First what is this game. Second does not sound very Christ like, however it does sound pretty much like a Christian thing to do. I mean they are the people advocating war mongering in Iraq, ignoring the genocide in Sudan, and the list goes on. I think they could re-read the Gospel of Mathew, there are some parts in there about just pretending to be immoral, or following others that are. Just goes to show you people have a hard time sticking to there principles. Me I am with out religion so it does not bother me. It should I think bother them though. Third looks like Muslim stick to their principles, not always, but a lot more than Christians. I wonder why? As well we live in a much more free society. This just goes to prove the closeted nature of the Right. Guilt, congressional pages, alter boys, you name it. What a world.

Answer 3

Have you read this ?

Left Behind's response to those claims:
The makers of the game expressly deny, however, the premise as advertised. They claim that most of the people spreading information about a dominionist attitude within the game have never interviewed with or tested the game, and are spreading misinformation started by an unknown source. Any violence in the game, the makers contend, is either as a result of the riots following the rapture in the initial levels of the game, or are wholly self-defense as the main characters try to stay out of the clutches of the Antichrist-ruled "Global Community." While there is an evangelical element to the game, the makers want to emphasize the non-violent nature of evangelical activities, and the possibilities of non-violent confrontation within a video game.


Left Behind Games defends its choices by pointing out that killing depletes the unit's Spirit points. If Spirit points are sufficiently depleted, the unit becomes "lost" and defects to the Antichrist's army. "We found that adhering closely to Biblical philosophies made the game more interesting rather than less," Lyndon said. "One of the key elements of that is to make sure that the player sees that every life is important and precious.Furthermore, the game designers compare their game favorably to alternative games such as Grand Theft Auto, pointing out that Left Behind: Eternal Forces includes no sexual content, blood, decapitation, severed limbs, intestines, or vulgar language

While I don't condone violence and hatred,and I would be most upset if the Left Behind game did,I think it would be better if people found out from the game itself,rather than rumour.

Answer 4

I may just have to buy that video game. Sounds like a mixture of Final Fantasy and Grand Theft Auto.

Answer 5

meh, my friend has it, he says the real goal is to convert without violence. u can play as either side, the good or the bad, the bad u try to deconvert and u can kill and stuff. good side u want to keep from killing people as it puts a negative on ur score.

*shrug* i dont know anything other then that though.

Answer 6

Nope.

Just a game invented by a couple of MONEY HUNGRY Twits.


(Please notice! THIS IS A GAME.
There is a moon worshiping religion that do it for real!)

((I Wonder why the poser of the question is not asking about them))

Answer 7

I do not care if they believe in my religion or not, they are my fellow humans and I will not shoot them or discriminate against them consciously.

Answer 8

That's just wrong. I'm not sure what to think, but it sounds pretty un-Christian to me.

Answer 9

no,,,,,,,,what a horrible game,,,another stunt by the enemy to twist the minds of the young ( and so called adults )

Answer 10

It just sounds so wrong. What some people will do in God's name is ridiculous.
