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)".

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
