Comments on: A whole new low for gaming http://www.meritboundalley.net/2006/12/14/76/ char question = (( 2 * b ) || !( 2 * b )) Tue, 06 Jan 2009 07:03:34 +0000 http://wordpress.org/?v=2.7 hourly 1 By: Joe's Boss http://www.meritboundalley.net/2006/12/14/76/comment-page-1/#comment-143 Joe's Boss Thu, 04 Jan 2007 16:59:24 +0000 http://seculardad.net/2006/12/14/76/#comment-143 This game represents the beliefs of a christian minority, or dare I say extremists. They, are no different than extremists of other religions walking into buildings full of people and blowing themselves up, except that they choose to spread their message with video games and abusing the right to free speach. The people who'll be "left behind" are the people that actually believe in this sort of convert or die crap. This game represents the beliefs of a christian minority, or dare I say extremists.

However, the hypocrisy of a Christian organization such as Focus on the Family supporting this particular video game when it has vilified others is very telling. They are saying that running around killing people is wrong, unless you're killing them because they wouldn't convert to Christianity. A game that makes you kill people for not accepting your religion brings violent video games to a whole new low, as it adds social violence to physical violence.

They're saying my violent video game is OK but yours isn't. I say: Make up your minds. BTW, I'd hate this game as the reviews I've read on it indicate that it's just a crappy game :) Joe, as little as I would care about uber violent video games (I choose not to buy), I think it’s interesting how some people want to have it both ways.
