"Guaranteed 90% Mindless!"

Welcome to the Culture Wars

This is not a joke! A new video game is scheduled for release Christmas 2006 - Left Behind: Eternal Forces. You can read about it here.
Imagine: you are a foot soldier in a paramilitary group whose purpose is to remake America as a Christian theocracy, and establish its worldly vision of the dominion of Christ over all aspects of life. You are issued high-tech military weaponry, and instructed to engage the infidel on the streets of New York City. 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. Your mission is "to conduct physical and spiritual warfare"; all who resist must be taken out with extreme prejudice. You have never felt so powerful, so driven by a purpose: you are 13 years old. You are playing a real-time strategy video game whose creators are linked to the empire of mega-church pastor Rick Warren, best selling author of The Purpose Driven Life.

I know... you're thinking "That can't be real". Check it out for yourself at the game's official website. You can also find info about it at major game websites like gamespy.com.
I am truly frightened by this. This is how it begins. Baby steps to theocracy.

Ironically, this will be promoted by the same groups who protested Doom because kids were blowing up demons. I guess it's totally ok to blow up people who don't share your faith.

Probably the scariest thing I have ever read. And they call muslim extremists "terrorists". These people are doing the EXACT same thing, just a bit more sophisticated.
