The “highly anticipated” video game based on the best-selling “Christian” fiction series Left Behind is now on the shelf. There has been tons of reaction from all sides on whether or not this kind of game belongs on the shelf. In a world where many want to blame the video game industry for the violence of video games, why are the same people who yell about video game support this idea? This “convert or die” video game probably is not the best evangelistic tool. Do we not see our bloody history in the Crusades? Is that the way Christ won people over when he was here? It has been reported that one can try to convert Jews and Muslims to the Christian faith, if they don’t accept the change, you can kill them with a gun no less. Most non-Christians think that Evangelicals are backwards people who don’t think through things and look at things from other’s perspectives. I have to say, on this one, they are right.
Here’s a list of the game’s descriptions:
· Conduct physical & spiritual warfare : using the power of prayer to strengthen your troops in combat and wield modern military weaponry throughout the game world.
· Recover ancient scriptures and witness spectacular Angelic and Demonic activity as a direct consequence of your choices.
· Command your forces through intense battles across a breathtaking, authentic depiction of New York City .
· Control more than 30 units types – from Prayer Warrior and Hellraiser to Spies, Special Forces and Battle Tanks!

simply incredible. now Kevins joke really hits home “the only thing the Left Behind books left behind was the Bible.” It seems as if the video game has as well.

This is horrible, whether the whole idea behind Left Behind is true (pre-trib, pre-mil) the video game is a joke. This is a disgrace to Christianity, if they don’t accept…kill them. I only hope it comes up in conversation so I can tell unbelievers what crap it is.
