Many of you have seen this by now. I'm looking into who actually made the video game because they are the people who are REALLY guilty of crimes against humanity, but SHAME ON YOU WalMart (and everyone else who is selling it, including one of my favorite places, Target) for making money off of it. And SHAME on the "Christian" stores who are selling it! Can you imagine? Love thy neighbor unless he doesn't believe what you believe and in that case, kill him. BRILLIANT! Yet another example of the hypocrisy running rampant in the world of organized religion.
Really, people. Don't we hate each other enough without crap like this teaching our kids to do the same?
STOP THE FREAKIN' MADNESS ALREADY!
One voice of reason: "The Rev. Tim Simpson, a Jacksonville, Fla., Presbyterian minister and president of the Christian Alliance for Progress, added: "So, under the Christmas tree this year for little Johnny is this allegedly Christian video game teaching Johnny to hate and kill?"
I'm so angry I could spit.
GAG on the game--I can't believe it! As for this week's menu, I'll be over for chili and cornbread,but need more info on the pizza. Does it have black olives and fresh mushrooms on it? Not too much meat? If so, I'll come over for one of those nights too!

This statement is posted from an employee of Left Behind Games on behalf of Troy Lyndon, our Chief Executive Officer.
There has been in incredible amount of MISINFORMATION published in the media and in online blogs here and elsewhere.
Pacifist Christians and other groups are taking the game material out of context to support their own causes. There is NO “killing in the name of God” and NO “convert or die”. There are NO “negative portrayals of Muslims” and there are NO “points for killing”.
Please play the game demo for yourself (to at least level 5 of 40) to get an accurate perspective, or listen to what CREDIBLE unbiased experts are saying after reviewing the game at www.leftbehindgames.com/pages/controversy.com
Then, we’d love to hear your feedback as an informed player.
The reality is that we’re receiving reports everyday of how this game is positively affecting lives by all who play it.
Thank you for taking the time to be a responsible blogger.
