how scary is this

a video game in which

evangelical christians

take over america, killing non-believers while shouting
"praise the lord". and apparently its endorsed by one of
those mind-controlling TV uber-evangelist people.
this is seriously, genuinely worrying.

that's fucked. but/and not the first time i see insane
religious stuff like that... it (and just thinking about the
subject) leads me to have a bad opinion of religion in
general; i'm having more and more difficulty to respect it.

I'm not sure how much more scary it is than any other video
game where characters kill others characters for less
reason.

I guess it means that killing for a reason is worse than
killing for no reason. I don't much agree. Everyone is
fucked up, it's just that this is a new fucked up thing
we're not used to.

What is more freaky is that the place where I work
distributes that guy's (Rick Warren) works. Amongst lots of
other nutty crap of course.

yeah, most games involve killing people. but this one
involves killing people, here and now, in the name of a real
religion and is endorsed by a powerful influential
evangelist brainwasher who likely wants it to be a reality.

the best way to attack this is by not buying it and ignoring
it completely. fucking supposed christians making money out
of religion. it's disgusting. if there is a god then they
would be the ones getting "left behind" ffs

this is as bad as GTA and the like. the fact its endorsed by
a nutjob will make no difference as retards who wanna play
games like this (and GTA) will anyway. even if they keep
getting shitter with every iteration (like GTA). this isnt
scary, whats scary is that game makers churn out sequel
after sequel with mild alterations and people buy in to it
(im looking at you GTA)

true... you have a point.

i was just thinking about it from a "violent religion
(featured on a video game)" point of view, not "violent
video game (featuring religion)".

Around 1995 a certain Doom mod called Priest Killer was
quite populat here.

You gravely underestimated Polish anticlericals.

I agree with that idiot Jack Thompson for pretty much the
first time ever. But keep in mind this is the work of insane
people, first and foremost. They'd do something equally as
insane regardless of if they were Christian or not.

And this is even worse than GTA. That series is comical,
first and foremost. This religious game makes an actual
statement, a really twisted one. I always wanted to be a fly
on the wall watching Rick Warren or that Shirley Phelps bitch or
similar psychotics. I can't fathom people feeling the way
they do. They're making money and getting the publicity they
crave, but I want to see how they act and what they say in
private. Not that I think they're fronting, but... I just
want to see these people behind the scenes. I don't get them
at all.

BTW GTA is fun and great and Indecksical is a labia
just joshin' lol
