The game's story line game begins after the rapture, when most Christians are transported to heaven. Earth's remaining population is faced with a choice of joining or combatting the Antichrist, as embodied by a force called the Global Community Peacekeepers that seeks to impose one-world government.
The game's critics depict the ensuing struggle, set in New York City, as one fostering religious intolerance.
"Part of the object is to kill or convert the opposing forces," said the Rev. Tim Simpson of Jacksonville, Fla., who heads the Christian Alliance for Progress. "It is antithetical to the Gospel of Jesus Christ."
As if the animosity that Christians have toward the secularists was not bad enough now they make a game which suggests that those who do not accept their belief system are better off dead? And this is not considered violent?
Have I mentioned how much I dislike hypocrisy?
And for the record I have the same view toward Grand Theft Auto and any of the first person shooters which allow the gamer to kill the police or any individual who is portrayed an innocent bystander. I do play some games, and find them relaxing but I eschew games where there is unnecessary brutality or which seem to revel in the taking of life.
