Please leave it behind

File this under: times that I am embarrassed to be associated with the word 'Christian'. A new video game was recently released called 'Left Behind: Eternal Forces'. The premise is this: you are part of a post-rapture group of Christian converts. Your goal is to convert or kill as many non-believers (infidels) as possible. Blood, gore, point blank murder.....Christianity?

I cannot even begin to talk about how disturbing and utterly appauling this is.

A few quotes:

Megachurches are very likely to embrace this game.” -Left Behind Games CEO Troy Lyndon

"Praise the Lord and pass the ammunition." -Newsweek

"Conduct physical & spiritual warfare : using the power of prayer to strengthen your troops in combat and wield modern military weaponry throughout the game world." -the game
